Take it away, Neek…
Currency, described by Wikipedia as a “medium for exchange.” Thoughts often come to mind when you mention currency is money, what we purchase with the money we have earned and ultimately what is the value of what we have purchased. Interesting isn’t it how we can be careful about how we spend our money after we spend it and not before. The same thing goes for our emotions, it’s interesting how we are careful about how we choose to care about something, our emotional currency, after we experience the hardships and heartaches and the joys and happiness each experience brings.
SO many times, we don’t believe those things that are right in front of us. For example, have you gone shopping and saw a price tag on those shoes that you have been waiting to be marked down (yes, balling on a budget), but you don’t believe the price tag so you go ask the sales rep to “double check”. Yes, there are those times when things can have the wrong tag, but really, why not just simply trust what you see. It is the same for our relationships. We get warning bells, whistles, red flags, butterflies, headaches and all other sort of warnings that the relationship or the person that we are dating is not good for us.
People can “front” or pretend for a while if you are not in their personal space for any significant amount of time. If you have been dating someone, and it doesn’t feel right even after you have made every respectable effort to resolve your concerns and you still have them. Well then, my lovely, I encourage you to take time to review how you are investing your emotional currency. It should not be that we only take a closer look at how we choose to emotionally invest in something after we experience the hardships and headaches life brings. We (myself included) should feel empowered and not fearful to make whatever decision that normally would be hard to make, but freeing to the spirit to make.
So, I encourage you to trust your inner self with these steps:
- Focus on what you can control. You can control your responses, your thinking, your decisions and your ability to allow other people to affect you.
- Find balance in your lifestyle. Take time to re-invest in yourself. Eating well, focusing on those things you would like to do and compromising when it’s something you are comfortable with.
- Embrace that life is not just about choices but the lessons we learn from making those choices. This thought process allows you to remove fear out of making decisions. I recently came across a saying by GG Renee of AllthatManyLayers.com, “being great has nothing to do with being perfect”. How freeing that understanding is!!
I want to encourage you to find time to take care of yourself. Taking the fear out of emotionally investing means you will be challenged to not fall into self-doubts with the results of controlling and eliminating your impulsive and negative thinking. It will become easier over time because your emotional currency has increased in it’s value by you having the ability to trust your inner self.
Today’s Affirmation:
” I want to be better so I will do better”
Til next time!!!
