Identifying the Reason Behind an Unusual State of Mind...

Have you ever found yourself feeling “out of sorts”? Not understanding why you’re unmotivated to do much of anything? Not necessarily feeling “down”, yet not taking care of yourself the way you normally do?

Well, after having had a very difficult week… not understanding why I lacked motivation to work on my business, exercise on a daily basis, and eat in a healthy way, I was given insight in a most interesting way.

This morning, while enjoying my usual morning routine of talking to my birds, spending cuddle time with my dog and cat, and talking with my angels, I was given a message to choose a “Postcards From Spirit” card. I’d purchased these cards from Amazon awhile back because I thought they would give me some inspiration during my “Angelic Connection” time.

The message on the card provided me with an “AHA” moment! The following is part of the message…

"There are times when loss is a part of life. Sometimes a loss is sudden and painful, like when a loved one crosses over to our dimension. Regardless of the nature of the loss and your control over it, your experience is asking to be acknowledged. Tears are necessary, as is grief. When you repress the natural expression of loss and try to move on too quickly, the unprocessed pain haunts you in destructive ways. We don't want that for you!

Instead, let your heart break open wide. Feel the loss and integrate it. See the beauty that was, the lessons learned, and know that as you let go of what has passed, ever more of you remains. It gets better, we promise. Your heart expands with more compassion for the world than ever before. Love heals all!"

Many of you have read the stories of my late husband, Jim. Through these cards, my angels provided a gift of insight into my current mood (a mood that actually scared me because I’m almost ALWAYS motivated and quite positive). It was revealed to me that I was grieving my late husband.

The anniversary of his death was fourteen years ago on March 7th, (today is March 12th). The day had come and gone with me remembering it through a facebook post. I’d shared his memory with my children, the relatives, and others who’d loved him. When the “Messages From Spirit” card reminded me of Jim’s death anniversary, I immediately realized I’d not allowed myself to feel the grief, I didn’t even realize I was feeling.

This sentence really resonated with me…

“When you repress the natural expression of loss and try to move on too quickly, the unprocessed pain haunts you in destructive ways.”

The message was accurate. I had spent the past 5 days allowing the “unprocessed pain” to haunt me in truly “destructive ways”. I’d eaten poorly, not gone to the gym, and been unmotivated to write in this blog or work on my business.

Immediately, I allowed myself to reflect on the message and release the tears that were aching to be released. As my good friend would say… I had a “come unglued” and it sure felt good!!

The next step I took was HUGE! I decided to write this blog story.

So many times people don’t understand why they are acting or feeling differently, kind of “out of sorts”. The next time you are not feeling like yourself, you might want to look at the calendar and see if there is a significant event that happened in or around the date. If so, allow yourself to feel the emotions, without judgement of yourself or the event. Lovingly release the pain and thank it for reminding you of the need to heal.
