Awareness Is Wisdom For Emotions
When and what emotions hold you hostage? For me, anger. My allowance of its aggressive patterns has upended seasons and relationships in my life. The anger leads to resentment, which leads to contempt, which leads to an absolute all-stop of emotions, intoxicated in an insane form of sanctimonious divinity. Clearly not healthy. When we are slaves to emotions we are unable to appropriate wisdom. Unable to feed on good spiritual common sense living squarely at the center of who we are. Awareness/consciousness of our emotional landscape is the fight. This ability to witness what's happening in us at any given moment gives way to the strength of not reacting to any given emotion. Feelings aren't facts. Realizing this BIG piece of the wisdom gives way to strength, lessening the potential “shit show” of the day. Your emotions need wisdom, clarity and a roadmap for how and when they become reactive. Pray for this wisdom. The rubber hitting the road looks like peace. Less reaction, less proving, less convincing, less leaving, less striving, less grinding. Your witnessing will produce love; for self, community and God.
