PSA of the day: I spent the weekend in the sun and my pool for relaxation, centering myself and calming my mind. That time in the sun and water tends to brings out my deep and calm thoughts. My wheels began to turn and I felt compelled to share this.
If you get triggered or offended easily and act unemotional, that just means you are very emotional. It’s not a bad thing, but it speaks to something deeper; negating what and who you actually are. The more you ignore it, the deeper the wound you create. Consequently, you shoot yourself in the foot. Additionally, people with emotional intelligence see right through this avoidance. You either are forced, or left only with the company acquaintances/peers, of lesser cerebral intelligence who don’t have the capacity to see you. (Sounds stimulating) or no one ever really knows you and over time you don’t know yourself. Then you wonder why you feel this gaping hole inside you can’t fill. You also loose out on what is truly craved, to be seen. People with higher emotional depth tend to not entertain, stay around with any longevity, or tolerate this kind of falsified persona.
I don’t know who needs to read that but every step in life is a choice. No one is perfect but take steps forward. Face your shadows, make them your bitch.
I would rather “embarrass” myself (use that loosely because as long as I say what my truth is I really am not embarrassed regardless of the outcome) but be myself, than work hard to hide it. Also I find the more I put myself out there and say whatever I feel, even if I know it may not be well received, I feel better. I can release it. If I don’t get the outcome I would like it’s still okay because I know I gave what I could. Then it isn’t on me, if it still didn’t go in my favor that just means something even better is around the corner. That’s also how the universe works. Give to yourself, be bold, seek what you want. If one thing doesn’t work but you do what is best for your highest good with pure intentions to yourself, for yourself and for others’, you will get what you want. Maybe just in a different form, but even better perhaps than what you initially desired.
