Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Sat Nam Avneesh: I think a vocation has to keep us interested and challenged, but not to the point of overwhelm. Please try to remember what it was that sparked your interest about your vocation and see if you can recapture that. Try for a day or a couple of days to focus on what you like about each student or give each one a compliment throughout the day or before they leave and see what this does to the energy in the room or for their personality the following day. Try your best at prioritizing. If you have thought about a new vocation, I believe the answers will be revealed in time. Feelings are just feelings; there is no morality in the feeling, only in our behavior. The anger is probably caused by something much deeper than the house being a mess or the kids fussing. Or it could be a cumulative effect and then it's being released in an outburst. We need to ask the question what do I need to do today to take loving, responsible care of myself? What am I avoiding, what emotional need is not being met or perhaps, what is underneath the anger? Keep looking inside, not outside. Lighten up is great, I agree, but how easy is that when you're in the middle of your fit of terror? I believe communication is very important, but if I can't communicate in a positive way, then the best thing that I can do for all concerned would be to walk away and allow the air to calm down and for me to get a better perspective on things. In anger, there is a false sense of power. Just something to think about. When you are carried away with your worries, fears, cravings, and anger, you run away from yourself. The practice is always to go back to oneself. Be gentle with yourself if the feelings surface from time to time. Let the golden light of healing shine upon all we love and upon all with whom we feel anger. Trust that a healing is taking place now. I've been there Michael, over and over again. The best I can do is apologize after the outburst or to do some quick self-talk before the abruption to prevent it. My husband can see I'm struggling. We're a "work in progress", "time takes time". Healing does not always come in a neat tidy package. To your health and wealth, God bless, Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
