We are tender spirits, and when we have the first sense of emotional darkness creeping in, we tend to withdraw. In reality, we can make this dip into darkness much shorter by kicking our light up a notch rather than shutting down.
We are powerful if we choose to side step an emotional tantrum by placing our lovely selves in time out. Take just a few minutes to stabilize our breathing, identify what just blindsided us, and put it into the present moment.
We cannot alter the past nor do we have control over our future, but we do have choice as to how we want to react. The long version is to crumble into the darkness and chastise our previous behavior. The short version is stay in the moment realizing that back then we may have chosen poorly, but today we have more resources to avoid our pitfalls. Commit to shinning our light brighter and carry on.
