Lesson 183: You Must First Release...

When we are upset, we tend to find that one thing that will make us feel bliss again. we kind of skip the steps to truly release that hurt and pain. What we do need to do is go through the passages of the heart of pain and compassion to open ourselves to that and then once processed, move into bliss from here. This is when we know we have truly released and cleared. Today we are to practise just that when we are upset.

The one thing that upset me today was another restructure being announced at work when I had just come out of another that didn’t work so well. Not knowing whether I have a job secured or not is nerve wracking. I cannot stand the not knowing. I think what I recognise is the anxiety build I get from this type of news – I just don’t like being in limbo with no real decisions being told to me. It’s the waiting on the actual placement of myself and my team that will have me shook. So as part of this lesson, I fully accept the anxiety I get. The way I can apply compassion is knowing that this is out of my control and my manager’s control. We all have to show patience during this time and just let the upper management do their thing. I have to trust that they are doing their best towards my situation. I cannot worry about things that are not in my control. The way I will reach my bliss state is to just let it be and that it will work out for the best. Everything happens for a reason and it will work out the way it’s supposed to.

What is something that happened today that upset you that you need to deal with the pain and then apply compassion, so that you can reach bliss?
