Managing Transitions

I don’t make transitions well, I know this about myself (but often forget). I think the problem lies in the fact that when presented with a transition, especially a large one, my brain goes into overdrive and I get wrapped up in its spinning cycle and I freeze.

That’s what’s happened to me over the last few days. I was going along fine, and then little things hit me and my brain started screaming CRISIS CRISIS and I couldn’t break out of it.

I think my brain does this because it’s trying to protect me from the emotions I’m having. When it’s spinning so rapidly, there is complete distance from my emotions. And I know, from my last few years of personal evolution, that I don’t have growth and forward movement UNLESS I recognize my emotions and move through them.

I’m seeing a lot of posts from people who are feeling torn by the fact that they are having emotional reactions to this situation. As if, if they have faith and a logical, planning brain it should override the emotions.

But here’s what I know. We get stuck when we shove our emotions under the rug. We are taught that if we let ourselves feel them we will get swallowed up by them, but in reality, we have to feel them. We have to feel them to move through and beyond them.

Love and light to all
