Do you find yourself surrounded by a flood of emotions? Today in "Seasons of Change" we looked at floods, hoarding, and how we allow the surplus to build in our life. So many times we feel that this one item can't make a difference and yet we find our closets bulging to a point of explosion. My beloved and I have this wonderful routine in which we go for our closet and look, at what we have not worn in the last six months and release the rest. Yet I know there're other areas in which I am not ready to let go of items because they hold sentimental value. I often speak to my clients about the fact that it is not in the item that holds the sentiment it is indeed the emotion that we have attached to that item that is the sentiment. The emotion can often be captured by a photo, and the memory can not be extracted from us, It is forever a part of who we are.
Enjoying my share from seasons of change.
Day 55: Flood, what to do with the surplus? As we get ever so close to summer and the long hot days we really don't think about a surplus of water. A great many of my friends are wondering if there will be enough?
I am reminded that when I in the middle of a flood of emotions it is really easy to focus on the overwhelming amount of feeling that is coming up for me. I really enjoyed the reading for today which reminded me to focus and breathe. I find that breathing really tells me a great deal about where I am in the moment. Are my breathes short and fast, labored, or do I find myself holding my breath? So many times, I am perplexed when I find myself numb, that I question if I have feelings. When they do arise I questioned where they all come from?
I doubt that people who hoard think that this one item is going to lead to an unmanageable amount of things that surround them. Yet it's like laying bricks, we sack them one brick at a time. Then we find ourselves surrounded by this wall that in fact we created. What do I allow to accumulate, build up, and become a surplus? When I allow frustration to accumulate what I really doing is building a wall of frustration. I allow it to surround me. Oh, I want o blame someone else "who built this wall here?" When in fact I built it one brick at a time.
I do not wish to minimize the impact that floods have on our lives. It is my goal for us to recognize how we create the same effect in our emotional, mental, and spiritual lives. We do this by our unwillingness to let go. What are you willing to release in your life today?
I love you
