I hope you’ll forgive the absence of BitchScopes this week. I am sidelined with a gnarly back injury and I could not will myself to sit at the computer for hours.
In place of scopes I’ve pulled a couple cards from my two decks
My second deck, Resistance is Futile, speaks to the emotions we repress. Repressed emotions will often express (involuntarily) as anger. Anger is the easiest and basest emotion to grab on to. Sometimes what comes out as anger is actually fear or sadness (or grief)
One of these cards talks about fear being oppressive and holding us down, and back. The other card speaks to the fact that even during times when you feel like crap, even if you’re going through difficult transitions and painful transformations, you are still being blessed. You are still fabulous. The fact that you are going through a transformation makes you MORE fabulous!
When we go through difficulties, it’s important that we allow ourselves to feel all of our feelings- all of them. Don’t judge your feelings or your self. Don’t be afraid of your feelings, because fear will derail you, and your feelings will become more fearful. Also, when possible, don’t hide your process. Be vulnerable when you feel you can be. Other people who are struggling will be so blessed by your openness. We are all human and that’s not always pretty.
Whatever you’re going through now, just allow it to flow and blow through your life. There is beauty in the breakdown.
