Uff-Dah
Upon waking I had plans for my day. My plans included journaling and automatic writing, which I did, along with many other beautiful and successful things throughout my day. My automatic writing strongly suggested that I use this evening to write, which I fully intended to do. Writers write…and I consider myself a writer.
Writers do not necessarily compute. (Writers also take liberties with words, fully knowing that computing is a verb referring to adding things up, not using a computer, but it’s clever, and I like being clever. See business name above.) My computer is driving me NUTS! It thinks it’s too full and constantly has me deleting cookies so it will work. Why are they called cookies? I use to like cookies. I still do, but not these cookies.
To make a long story longer, in all my cookie-deleting, I seem to have deleted my ability to re-open my microsoft word account, nevermind allllllllll the pre-written blogs and other important writing stored in there. It wants my school or my business email to open, but I’m not in school and I didn’t open the account with my business email. So, this kind of leaves me in a quandry. My angels wanted me to write. Mercury Retrograde and all of its communications chaos is forcing me to get creative. Isn’t that just the way?
So what is the angel message here?
We are entering a season of get togethers and too-often communication problems. Do you have a plan for what to do when things go awry?
Seriously, there is a part of me that would like to take a hammer to this computer and start fresh with a new one - and I’m sure there’s a part of you wondering if some of the relationships might be better destroyed and replaced. I jest to make a point.
When you are at that point where you are stuck in a conversation with your brother’s friend’s sister’s co-worker and the conversation is one that makes you want to hit control-alt-delete, what are you going to do? When Uncle Terry is telling an offensive joke, what is your game plan? When Grandma is telling the same story you’ve heard a million times…when your sister is pushing your buttons…when the sadness, chaos, frustration, anxiety, etc. takes over and starts a thought spiral, the angels want to work with you before you get into fight, flight, freeze, or fawn mode.
I know it seems trite, but it is repeated because it works: Take a deep breath. All the way deep in your lungs. Exhale. Then, for good measure, take another deep breath. This helps reset your nervous system and is helpful physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually! Plus, it feels good. We spend far too much time breathing shallowly - and getting oxygen into our lungs helps reinvigorate us and activates our brain. This is good because step 2 is: Remember! Remember what? Remember to get a wider perspective. EVERY. SINGLE.PERSON.ON.EARTH.IS.GOING.THROUGH.SOMETHING!!! You are not alone. Remember, or find out, what it is for the person that’s getting under your skin. When we remember that “this person is in chronic pain”, “this person is fearing losing their job”, “this person lost their job and isn’t landing a new one”, “this person’s dog just died”, “this person just got a life-changing diagnosis”,
etc., etc., etc. , and that’s just the stuff we know. There’s a whole ice berg, twice the size underneath, worth of stuff we don’t know about.
Realizing/remembering that your headache, and depleted bank account, and dinged up car from the person who sideswiped you in the parking lot are not the only issues that anyone is dealing with will help you with forgiveness and understanding. This doesn’t mean you have to condone offensive jokes or accept button-pushing from anyone. It means you remove the power from the person who is hurting you and take it back for yourself by looking at the situation from a neutral perspective and acting accordingly. Your forgiveness allows you to respond instead of react.
A reminder: Call on Archangels Gabriel and Raguel for help. They are the archangels of communication and would love to assist you. Gabriel is particularly helpful for parents and children (but also when you cannot access your cache of pre-written blogs and need to start anew). Raguel’s focus is harmony and resolution. and will help all parties with better speaking, listening, and understanding. Angels cannot intercede without your request, but will NEVER deny a request.
So, I guess my uff-dah moment (moment? It’s been 3 hours!) with my computer was all to get out the message to be gentle with yourself and others and don’t forget to ask the angels for help. Thank you, Angels, for your help!
