Layin' Down the Hammer

Just an afterthought from the previous post. If you do find yourself dear New Age wounded Lightworker in the throes of something devastating, don't allow anyone to tell you how you should or should not feel. Don't allow anyone to tell you that you should not judge your circumstances. Holding onto your feelings and trying to suppress them because you drank the New Age kool-aid and are trying so hard to be a good little comrade who doesn't suffer is bad for your health and well-being. And don't judge yourself for falling off the happy wagon. Daggone it, part of getting out of something is going through it to begin with. It doesn't mean you have to ignore what you're feeling, or condemn yourself for a little suffering.

Think of life's challenges like a big old hammer that has just whacked you on the thumb. It's gonna hurt like hell and you should be entitled to fuss and cuss and scream and holler like a fool. You are completely entitled to feel what you feel and to express your disappointment, grief and judgment against the current storm swirling around you. Get it out of your system and don't let anyone tell you that you are not entitled to have your due. And I'd like to lay down the hammer on any Lightworker who judges how you're handling things as less than enlightened. Or, tries to adopt you as their pet project so they can practice what they learned in Lightworker class 101 with their streams of happy sappy affirmations and guru sound-bytes.

Once you have vented all your frustrations (ergo my blog), you are indeed going to feel much better. You have exorcised the current possession of your circumstance. Give yourself permission to acknowledge that something awful exists rather than trying so hard to pretend that everything is fine and that you will make it through with love, light and laughter.

I'm so proud of you!
