It seems that the last several weeks have been sort of strange with a lot of folks. Call it misfortune, bad luck, good times/bad times...challenging...whatever you like; but there definitely has been something weird going on.
I am a very emotional being anyway, my zodiac, my personality, my nature...and I noticed a shift in the karma and good energy for a little while...didn't like it. It is the sort of "thing" you can't put your finger on...no logic to it, just "not right". Some people rely on the zodiac and tarot cards, or readings of one kind or another; others rely on prayer and faith; and still others rely on the barometric pressure with the tides rolling in and out. I believe they all tie in together...thus my very philosophical and very faceted outlook on life in general. After some time passes and the ship begins to right itself again...I can usually justify, or at least attempt to explain some of the confusion and chaos that has occurred.
I have always believed that feelings and emotions are here for a reason...but it doesn't necessarily make it easier, it does however; help us understand how to sort things out and get ourselves together when we are going through the more difficult times emotionally. They signal something out of balance, for whatever reason...and trying to put it back into balance can be hard sometimes. What works for one person may not work for the next...call it "being human" I suppose.
There is no particular reason for sharing this post, other than "just sharing"...sometimes when we relate to others, it helps us cope better and find that support to move forward as life does. I have written about similar topics before...here and there...but never on a regular basis. Healing and recharging comes with having an open mind, and realizing that there is nothing "wrong" with us...it is the complexity of our spirit, mind and body...all those chemicals, hormones, combined with those moods, emotions and feelings; it can get overwhelming...but it's what makes us amazing and incredible.
We can be victorious over the negative experiences with the tools that work for us...whatever they may be; music, friends, prayer, hobbies, exercise...I usually dabble in a little of all...depending on what my "mood" is! I try to remember that I cannot give my all, if I am depleted emotionally...it's just like a cell phone!...I have to recharge my battery once in awhile!
We are there for our loved ones, our jobs, our friends and co-workers, life in general...but when time gets away from us, and we have not taken care of ourselves, we run out of gas and can't offer our fullest potential, or to the degree we normally do. It isn't selfish, it's actually common sense. We can't keep taking or giving without replacing some of what we use. Then when that "weird thing" does come along, we aren't fully recharged, and it takes a toll on us...we can't bounce back as quickly as before.
I have learned to accept my uniqueness, my coping mechanisms...because I know what works for me. So when I wake up at 3 a.m. AGAIN!...I realize that it is just my own way of my body and mind trying to communicate with me...to tell me to get it in check...it seems to be the peak time for me, for whatever reason...when I am most receptive and contemplative; and I can figure things out more clearly. Perhaps it is because it is during the night when I am off...and things are quiet in general at home; it also has a little to do with my working night shift, I suppose...but for whatever reason it is, I have learned to accept it, and I actually look forward to those moments when I can heal my mind, spirit and soul. Once I obtain that feeling of satisfaction, I can tackle life again...and build on my strengths until the next obstacle comes my way!
So be strong, be humble, and love your "human nature" for who you are. The world is waiting for you!!
