Hello Beautiful Person! Welcome back to healing your grief two minutes at a time. This week is not going to be so fluffy but it is when we get to the tough stuff that, I think, the best healing happens. So, I just finished this amazing book. It’s kind of an older book but it is called Seat of the Soul by Gary Zukav and I think I will continue to quote him for a very long time. One of the lessons that he talks about that I wanted to share this week was about your power. When we are grieving, we have already felt like we have lost our power. Somebody that we really loved has just been taken away from us and we’re pretty upset about that and it is a really hard process to feel like we are in control or that we have power over anything in our lives. One of the challenges that we have in that is that when we start to look to other people to heal our heart and we look for them to say the right thing or do the right thing. Ultimately, they are not going to live up to our expectation and they are not going to heal what needs to be healed because grief is an inward job.
The lesson from the book was:
When you hold someone else responsible for your own experiences,
you lose power.
As grievers, and people who are grieving have already lost enough power. This week, I want you to give yourself the gift of your power. I want you to try and be grateful for anyone that calls or anyone that does anything for you. Be grateful and thankful in whatever capacity it came in. Chances are, it didn’t come in the right way but when you place that judgment or that complaint upon their experience , you’ve handed over your power. So this week, give yourself the gift of your power and I can not wait to hear down in the comments below how powerful you are and what you were doing to make that happen.
