I notice I feel slightly grumpy this morning, maybe because of a virus that’s taking hold.
So I take the opportunity to get some things done – especially the things my personality doesn’t like so much. I looked at my taxes and need to check if what I already paid covers it all. I am ordering a part for the row boat at the cabin, which brings up some discomfort since that has been an ordeal in the past (got sent the wrong part which led to a long process). And migrating and setting up A’s website.
If I feel good, and I am able, I tend to avoid tasks that may bring down my mood. So when I already am grumpy, that’s the perfect time to do those particular tasks!
Sometimes, I work with what’s here. I find ways to work with or work around my issues and hangups.
Sometimes, I invite healing for how I relate to the situation in the world and what it brings up in me.
Heart-centered practices are good here – being kind with my experience, and tonglen or ho’oponopono.
And sometimes, I invite healing for the issue itself. Inquiry (sense field inquiries, The Work of Byron Katie) are helpful, energy work (Vortex Healing), or just merging with the issue, see what’s there, and inviting it to reorganize in a more whole and healed way.
Today, and in this case, I just work with what’s here. The worst that can happen is that I get some things done. (And I did.)
