On the downside, I came face to face with some demons dressed as fear and anger (okay, rage). It's not that I'd never met them before, (oh yes, I knew them well!), but they seemed so much more obnoxious and theatrical than I had remembered them.
At first I was embarrassed and humbled by the thoughts and feelings I experienced, but then I started getting the feeling that I was being given an opportunity to consciously let go of these patterns. After all, when they're operating below the surface and masquerading as slight nervousness or mild irritation we don't think much of them. No, this was a gift, and I had to choose whether to accept it or re-commit to the old habits.
Facing our own unhealed places can be difficult but it can also be tremendously freeing. This week, I ask you to look at your life and see if there's a tired old habit hanging around that you can now choose to change. Ask yourself if there's a message in that challenge or conflict that keeps repeating over and over again. You might just find that you have inner resources now that you didn't have before.
