Laugh, Lust & Scream Daily
Oct 30th 2009Inspiration & Play & Relationships & Sexuality
How you act (or re-act, I should say) when you’re
in a fight with your intimate partner or faced
with a challenge by a friend of colleague says a
lot about you.
It reveals where you need to grow.
When faced with negativity are you a door slammer?
Ice Queen? Mega-complainer? Laser-sharp
cross examiner? Dish hurler? Screamer and shouter?
Most of us gravitate to one (or some) of these patterns
from time to time!
Some of these responses are better than others.
The ones where we analyze or stay silent stifle our
emotions, which cuts ourselves off from the
wellspring of vitality that is our own life force.
So the only way to change is to choose to
do something different.
Therefore, for ONE WHOLE DAY, choose to express
how you feel IN THE MOMENT.
If you bite into a delicious, juicy peach, let out
a moan of satisfaction (and notice if it brings
anything up for you to do that).
If your boyfriend is late (again), instead of
getting icy and snippy with him, tell him how deeply
it hurts you when he leaves you waiting. Don’t
go into past events or reasons, don’t lay out your whole
case for him, just express your
deep hurt IN THE MOMENT.
When you feel frustrated because your computer’s
too slow, let out a scream or stamp your feet.
For those days when you’re feeling really revved up and
feisty punch your pillow. Scream into it. Turn on some
music (anything with African drumming works really well)
and stamp your feet.
At first this will seem awkward. That’s normal. You’re
going against the grain from how most of the world lives.
LIkewise, if you’re feeling giddy, let yourself laugh out loud,
a big belly laugh. If you’re feeing sassy and sultry, swing
your hips, soften your stance, let that feeling exude through
your whole being.
Wherever your edge is, whatever your current feeling truth is,
step into it, and know that there
rests the key to greater freedom.
Now, go for it!
