I thought I was doing pretty good re-languaging my life when we went out to dinner for my daughter's birthday last week and half way through the meal my daughter said I was driving her crazy (
in the way only a mother can do) by repeatedly saying "
that's not bad" every time I ate something new.
You might remember from my last post this was exactly the kind of language I have been trying to avoid! Ugh!
I thought ditching the "n'ts" when I was saying something positive would fix this - I did keep myself from saying "this isn't bad".
I
said the exact same thing in a different way though.
I guess it's a challenge for me to say, "this is good", or great or delicious without consciously pushing my tongue to use positive language. When I stay unconscious with my language I just naturally want to go the other way. I can see my rules need to be expanded and I am an Aquarian with a Scorpio rising (
plus an oldest child and tone deaf singer). I really hate rules.
(
and now that I have written this I can see clearly how my rule making is negative, too - always about what not to do - see how this stuff works? - it is deep and tricky - it's like I have swallowed a whining David Blayne.)
This series is not about negative language and this is all subconscious stuff although I do think this way of going through life makes us more prone to a scarcity mindset. It doesn't matter which comes first or what creates what with this stuff - I do know we can often change something by
changing something else.
I attended an astrology class years ago and one of the other students was
always complaining about work. She loved her job but her relationship with her co-workers was a mess. I can't remember the specifics. I do remember this woman
always wore purple. Maybe just this one thing was enough to annoy the hell out of people. I don't know. Totally possible.
One day the teacher turned to her and said, "
Enough already about your co-workers. Get a dog". Now this teacher was a master astrologer and enough of a guru to this woman for her to immediately head to the nearest shelter and pick herself out a beautiful blue eyed Akita mix.
Within days her relationship with her co-workers had greatly improved (
pets and work are both 6th house in astrology - as well as health, routine, etc - so a problem with one often can be fixed with attention on another). She even started to join her office mates on their long Wednesday lunches, something she always griped about before. She thanked the teacher for his wisdom.
We noticed over the next few weeks she never complained about work anymore. She complained about her dog all the time though. This woman had Aries in the 6th house and Aries needs an adversary. I am not sure if an adversary who pees on the carpet is better than one who sits next to you in a cubicle, maybe she could have just joined a gym and fought with the treadmill .... changing something by changing something else works though.
I don't think negative feelings that come up after seeing
someone else's bright shiny new thing is about jealousy. I don't want anyone else's life. My life is pretty freaking amazing. I just know after seeing some of this stuff I don't feel so great.
For me, it creates the "
I should be doing more" syndrome. For example my Facebook friend who is always on vacation has me thinking "why haven't I created a business that can run without me so I can be laying on the beach somewhere warm and tropical while lockets and cork continue to fly across the country and into my customer's waiting hands and mailboxes." I feel like what I am doing isn't enough because I actually have to
do it. What kind of ridiculous thinking is this? We can't win this game.
I will tell you my next two steps in my final post next week. The pie really does have an infinite number of slices - there really is enough for all of us.
xo and happy weekend all
NOTE - We have a New Moon in Scorpio next week (
I will post about it then) - it's an eclipse and at 0 degrees Scorpio - a 0 degree eclipse in the complex sign of Scorpio is a
true new beginning. Stuff we have been trying for could now line up for us. Mercury will move direct two days later and we will know what to do.
Get ready.
