Today I invite you once again in the air. This time we are coming in to land in Portugal in 2012. When I reviewed my image library this image jumped out for today. I guess because today was a tale of two halves indeed. Highs and lows just like the highs and lows of the waves or the watery surface of the ocean and the sandy beach.
Today I want you to once again consider your emotions, and how they came in waves through your day. Some emotions may feel fluid and light like the spray of the waves splashing up on the sand and some may feel heavy and sticky like wet sand. I would then like you to consider which emotions would correspond to which state – which would you call water and which would you call sand. I also would like you to consider which you find easy to manage and which do you find it takes days to shift.
Every day as human being we experience emotions and more often than not we want to erase the emotions that are less pleasant and maintain for as long as possible the more enjoyable ones. (Have you noticed how i did not use negative and positive?!) Emotions all have a positive intention, they help us get into some form of action, emotions carry energy that either it is creating in us a desire to mobilise or makes us stay put and therefore immobilises us. So i am wondering which emotions mobilise you and which emotion immobilises you? Which emotions you have grown up being told it’s ok to have them, and which ones you have been told to delete/repress/control/ get rid of? I am also wondering which emotion can you truly delete?!
I am challenging you, my dear reader, to consider how do you manage this ebb and flow of energies that often meet in the middle creating a divided self between the negative and positive, between enjoyable and less enjoyable? But then again, do you allow the luxury to feel, or are you afraid of the states that this idea of emotions may bring up for you? And we are talking about emotions, I wonder how to the people you spend the most time with manage their emotional world? Did you grow up with stable examples of how to navigate the emotional world, did anyone help you name and therefore tame the emotion?
Do you still have a divided self, between the enjoyable and the less enjoyable?
Do you allow the tear to fall when they are needed?
Do you allow the smile and the laughter to come, when you feel it bubbling up?
Do you acknowledge the anger as an acceptable emotion to express when you have been wronged?
Do you acknowledge the sadness that it has it’s role in the world, especially when something ends and therefore it needs to be transformed into a memory or a tool for strength for later?
Do you allow yourself to have a world of two halves?
Time to take out your diary and take some notes when answering the questions.
