Hello Light Being,
Do you pretend everything is okay when it's not?
It's a behavior we often engage in around the holidays when we are sometimes forced to spend time with people we would rather not engage.
And we sometimes fall into this pattern in our work life, day to day relationships, with finances, our health etc...
We pretend everything is okay because we don't want to face the truth.
Because facing the truth means_______________?
You fill in the blank.
Sometimes we pretend everything is okay because if we acknowledged it wasn't we would be forced to take action, make a move, do something and either we are not ready to, don't want to or don't know what to do.
And then other times we pretend everything is okay because we feel guilt or shame regarding the
situation.
Maybe all of the above?
Pretending everything is okay when it's not is like sticking your head in the sand, remember that old saying?
It doesn't allow you to turn the
situation around with your energy and inspired action.
It puts you in a default position allowing life to happen to you rather then you being the creator of your life.
It leads to stress, worry, overwhelm and generally unhappiness.
If you find yourself caught up in the pattern of pretending everything is okay when it's not ask yourself the question, "What is the benefit of pretending it is okay?"
"What am I trying to avoid?"
"What is the
advantage of avoiding _____?"
These questions will help you to start getting to the core of your situation and release the limitations preventing you from taking back your life and making new choices from a position of power. And when you step back into your self power, then everything will be okay.
~Love, Esther
