Hi sweetheart. You look so beautiful tonight.
Hello handsome man. You look wonderful as well.
Hmm...
What if you could have this type of relationship with your emotions?
It's actually possible.
Now I'm not going to say that you aren't going to have fights from time to time, but what I am saying is that you can have a much healthier relationship with one another than you have right now.
I'm not going to talk to you today about all of these happy fluttery emotions in your life. Nope.
I'm going to talk about the dark pit in each of us that harbors those deep dark emotions we hate talking about.
Greed. Anger. Depression. Fear. Hate.
Pain.
All of those are in each of us whether we would like to admit it or not. The only difference between us is how these emotions are brought out. For some it could be heartbreak. For others it could be losing a job or getting into a fight with someone.
But we all have access to those emotions and they are incredibly powerful and possibly destructive if you don't know how to skillfully handle them.
That's what I want to talk about today...
Carl Jung, the famous psychologist once said, "The brighter the light the darker the shadow."
If we really dive into that logic, the more you tap into the lighter sides of you the greater the access we have to the darkness. Because when you stretch one way you stretch the other as well. This scares most people to death.
But when we have committed to going out into the world and actually living, to chasing our dreams and to being the best person we can possibly be, we change in ways we never predicted. Along with that light comes the shadows and we must be able to coexist with our own shadow no matter how dark it may be at times.
The skill to develop here is this...
Use all of the colors of your life, the dark ones and the light ones, to create something inspiring.
In our dark times, we must use those colors to express our more dangerous emotions that scare us. We have to put those paints on the canvas.
Create as much as you can with these times.
Express everything inside of you. Express the brilliant chaos in your soul.
Stuffing things down or avoiding what you are actually feeling is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.
And guess what? It always explodes.
Paint something beautiful on the canvas of your life with all of the colors available to you.
