An atypical morning in the UK with dense fog, and yet most people assume globally that the UK is foggy and it rains all the time.

Today if felt like we needed to immerse ourselves in the fog of the subconscious again. That place that many of our reactions and responses emanate from . A place that many do not o into, or explore and therefore they live at the mercy of their reactions.

Today I was talking to a client who appears to be running into familial conflict on a weekly basis and is of the opinion that this conflict is caused by one particular individual that this individual is purposefully being nasty to them. What this client has never been told is how their current reactions may not be directly due to the other person’s way of being. In fact the other person is just being and yet the reaction in my client is so strong that it jeopardise their very roof over their heads.

Interestingly I was speaking to three other client today who were also being driven by a similar misconception that they are at the mercy of other people and that all of it is happening to them. Sure, we do not have control over everyone around us and how they are responding to us, but as sovereign human beings, we are in charge of US.

When we make a decision within ourselves that we are not in chare of us, but we are at the mercy of others it is as if in the fog we decided to not turn on the headlights but instead hoping for the best. It feels like accepting that there is fog but then not even hoping that the sun will clear it up. By taking no responsibility for our own actions and reactions, it is as if we hand over the wheel of a car to a baby who knows nothing of cars or driving. We basically allow our emotions and thoughts to drive us.

And yes as humans we sometimes live in a fog for ourselves and sometimes we need to allow the fog to descend, but it does not mean that it is in our best interest to just live there.

Would you drive in the fog without the light on? Would you just drive through the fog without taking control of the car? Would you put on sun glasses turn off the lights bling fold yourself and set off on a journey in the care driving it? So why would you then not try to be in charge of your reactions and responses to the outside world? If you would never drive blind folded and expect others to get out of the way, then why would you let loose all your emotions and expect others to mould to your whim?

Why be a passenger, when you could be up there driving, with full on fog lights on?
