Breathe

Just breathe. I find I have been telling myself that more and more.

Sometimes, I just don’t like people. You too?

The other day at the gym I was finishing up my cardio and I hacked a couple of times. This older man, who was 20 feet away and off to the side, looked at me like I was the devil incarnate. I said I had bronchitis and took my medicine, noting that I was no longer contagious. He snubbed his nose and looked the other way. I’m like OK. A few moments later he got up from the machine and walked away. He didn’t even wipe it down; hence as to why I do it before I get onto a machine.

As I continued the elliptical, I thought you don’t know where he came from and what his story is. It’s what I think of when I want to judge someone even if I have just been judged myself.

Backstory: About 10 years ago a teacher in Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp gave me a T-shirt. It was black and had white stick figures on it symbolizing people – one was discombobulated on the ground. The shirt read: ‘Doesn’t Play Well With Others.’

It’s because I don’t play the game. I don’t play games. I never have. It’s not who I am. Perhaps, it’s because I’ve been self-employed since 1997 – first as a freelance writer and now as a psychic medium. Even when I did have jobs, I wouldn’t put up with nonsense. I’d do my job and go home. I was never one to ‘look busy.’ I just did.

So, when people do not tell the truth, think I’m going to be part of whatever story they concocted, or when people continue to show their colors – their way is the only way, and if you disagree with their thought process, or give solutions to possible situations that may arise around an idea, you now become a threat to their very existence.  

Wishy-washy does not work for me either. Say what you mean. Maybe, people just don’t really know who they are anymore with all the hats that are worn. Or maybe they would rather eat their words than stand for what they believe. It’s really all about the root chakra – what was learned and accepted regarding family, society and culture.

Finally, the best thing one can do is to remove oneself from the situation. People do change. I believe they can. However, some people never change. It’s best to not go back for seconds and for sure not thirds.

Yes, send love and light to the person. Wish them no harm. Disengage. Find your tribe!

Breathe, Just Breathe

I have to let you know I really enjoyed all of your comments.. You gave me some answers plus answered questions I have not expressed. I have had the feelings, have seen, have heard. My question is "If someone asks me for a Reading, I go Blank". However in a conversation, the answers come to me. I don't understand why my mind goes blank when they say "Reading". I can't even ask a question for myself personally. But the day comes when my mind says "don't go to the Squaredance" and I dont know why, especially when I never turn down a Squaredance". Then the next morning (small town) a friend comes up and says "Did you hear what happened in front of the Squaredance building last night? A one car accident with 3 people were killed because of BLACK ICE" Then I knew why i had the feeling not to go. I just don't seem to know how to be a READER. Thanks for listening.
