Are You Swimming With The Current Or Against It?
These hot days of summer, have me thinking about swimming in the ocean. Splashing about and riding the waves is a thrilling experience!
Riding the waves made me think of how often we resist what we are feeling and swim against the current.
I have been there, believe me. I understand how it seems overwhelming to feel, you are too busy, there are so many other things you would rather do then work on yourself….right? – I get it.
What you resist – persists. Feelings just don’t go away. They will show up somewhere, somehow.
You have to feel to heal. The only way out is through.
It takes so much energy to bury or ignore our feelings. Have you every paddled upstream, or been swimming against the current?
It takes a lot out of you! Wastes time and energy and makes it harder to get where you want to go.
Take the easier route and go with the current, reach land and then walk.
Dip into what you are feeling and move with it. People often think if they go there, it will be so much worse or bigger then they are. This is not the case.
What is the cost to you? Living a life using energy to bury or ignore what you are feeling, versus taking a few minutes to see what you are not at peace with.
If you learn to swim with the current, you will enjoy the ride so much more.
Take a moment right now, and check in to see what are you feeling, what are you not at peace with? What’s going on?
If you have trouble getting to shore, contact me, I will be glad to throw you a line.
