Today has been a wild ride for me. Though I’m not caught in the middle, I’m watching family members duke it out. It’s very difficult to watch the people that you love the most tear each other apart. Words were used as weapons and once spoken can never be taken back.
I have to admit that’s it’s been having an extremely emotional effect on me. First and foremost I feel helpless. Secondly I am angry that they don’t see what I see; their egos are getting in the way of the decision to love each other.
I spent most of the morning completely unable to concentrate on anything. I couldn’t even watch mindless TV. So I decided to start putting away the Christmas decorations because it needed to be done and something inside of me said it was exactly what I needed to do. I find listening to my inner voice helps a lot. So now I’ve put away almost everything except the Christmas tree. I feel much better. I’m reminded that e-motion is “energy in motion”. In this case it was negative energy in motion in my body. By doing something physical I feel clearer and my head is no longer foggy.
I’m always amazed and inspired when I listen to that inner voice and it’s always exactly what I need in the moment.
