Small but mighty, Mercury is doing a number on me this week

So I thought I was prepared, knowing all that Mercury Retrograde brings but boy was I mistaken! I think I just may become a mute until this all blows over because every time I open my mouth shit doesn’t go well. But enough of the pity party! These disturbances in my life are clearly signaling me to slow down and analyze my interactions with people and myself. If we slow down and listen to the little voice that is drowned out by the chaos in our lives we will hear it telling us that ” it’s ok, I am trying to help.” Instead we let these disturbances get so loud that we cant hear anything but the problems and misfortunes in our lives, they take a front seat to everything that we have going on that is positive and the black cloud weighs heavy down over our heads.

When it feels like your back is up against a wall and there is no way out of the feelings that you may have, don’t think of the wall as “no way out” think of the wall as extra “support” that you need to get through these obstacles. We are not here to suffer from our own misfortunes, the world doesn’t love us enough already. Why add to it?

Hold Steady

Escaping your problems buys you time. Solving your problems buys you freedom. You’ve all heard of the “fight or flight” response. At times we just want to run away, just for a moment of peace and tranquility. Those problems that we run away from tend to find their way back.

One of the most uncomfortable things that I have had to do for self growth was to sit in my problems. Yes, sit in them. I no longer wanted to run away from the negative aspects of myself/life. I got tired of the same things happening again like someone was pressing replay and I still wasn’t learning although I was very familiar with the outcome. I am a work in progress. But I have chosen to focus on growth not perfection. I am not done with me yet.

Mercury Retrograde you are shedding light on my past that still needs a solution. My freedom is worth it. I’m tired of being on borrowed time.
