You know all the discomfort you feel when certain behavior needs to change – and you don’t change it?
That’s because the Universe is essentially and innately balanced. So even as seemingly obscure a situation like coming out of denial on behavior that is not suitable to my current level of awareness, if I don’t let myself look at the change needed and THEN ACT on it, I will be in terrible discomfort.
Here’s an example from my life: Over my lifetime I have formed powerful relationships with certain women to whom I willingly gave my power or, if I didn’t give my power away, I denied the truth of some clear and subtle aspects of the relationship. I thought I was done doing that. But several weeks ago I realized that a relationship I’ve had for 15 years had many aspects OUT OF BALANCE and I had indications and feelings for years.
For example:
- Almost all of the emotional support was going in one direction – from me to her – and had been for years
- I felt like it was an obligation to give her time and she felt like it was an obligation to give me time
- Truth be told, I no longer feel proud to call her my friend as she lives her life in ways I do not feel good about
I could tell you stories that support the above but those stories would cloud the truth. The truth I had to be willing to allow was to let this relationship go. I have done that. I feel the peace of growth and the "backlash" of balance I’ve acheived.
Anything niggling at you to look at causing you that out of balance feeling?
