Hi Friend,
In an earlier part of my life, I was a stage actress. I loved the excitement that happened as we got closer to opening night. Frequently there was a big push to make sure everything was ready for opening night curtain— most everyone was scrambling—even pulling all-nighters to get everything done in time. Of course, we all collapsed after the show, but the exhilaration of making it happen made it worth it.
|
There are times in our lives when we need to get our inner masculine energy into hyperdrive and get things done. |
|
|
When there is a timeline that must be met or an emergency to respond to—you might find yourself pushing and, in the process, discovering reserves of energy you didn’t know existed inside you.
It is a powerful and necessary energy when it is used well. I’ve learned to have a deep respect for my ability to push myself when it is required.
|
However, if you are constantly pushing, it’s exhausting! Can you relate? |
Excessive masculine energy expressed through either an external push of activity or an internal push of pressure is something I’ve had to modulate for most of my adult life. Lately, that lesson was brought home to me once again with a sprained ankle. My ankle not only forced me to physically step carefully and walk slowly, the slower pace affected how I was thinking.
My thinking slowed down! The inner drive inside me that thought I needed to push to get things done—became very quiet.
|
|
I thought carefully about what was important to do and what wasn’t. Once I knew, I walked about the house taking care of household tasks. That same energy fed right into all my work. I slowed down, relaxed, and considered what was most important. I approached my work with clear intention and steady attention. I found myself being less busy and more focused.
I had been afraid for the longest time that if I stopped pushing, I’d stop accomplishing. But here is the miracle that happened when I stopped pushing…
|
… in my work life I accomplished more with less effort. Cool huh? |
At the same time, in physical therapy, I experienced the exact opposite. I had to push myself hard—uncomfortably hard—so that I could get the blood flowing into my ankle, and get my tendons and muscles working properly for me once again. In one aspect of my life, a push was appropriate. In another, relaxing and slowing down was called for. I discovered a new point of equilibrium for my yin and yang energies that worked better for me. (Next time, I’d prefer to discover that kind of insight without spraining my ankle, thank you very much! 😂) While now and in the future, I’ll be more attentive to the subtle impulses of wisdom that could have avoided the sprain, I’m very grateful for the new insights. That’s how it is with personal growth. Hopefully, we lovingly, kindly accept where we are and open up to the wisdom that wants to be recognized and acted upon in the moment! |
Holding you in my heart and songs, |
