I have a problem with reacting impulsively. Verbally that is.
To my defense I chalk this up to being a "highly intuitive and sensitive child" who kept her perception of the world deep down inside for a LONG time! So now that the pity part is over (almost ;)) and I've found my voice, my emotions, intuitions, judgments, ideas, inspirations now come spewing out on those unexpecting victims I like to call my loved ones at warp speed! :) Do you know anyone like this? ;) Now that my feet are beginning to touch the ground, I am learning how to be "in authentic relationship" with other human beings in this earthly realm... and, well, in my earth tone living room. I'm not talking about the kind of relationship where, you play and role and I play a role...I ignore your shit if you ignore mine. I'm talking about a whole new paradigm of being together...a welcoming, accepting and helping each other transform into more highly evolved individuals who carry the light of the Universe within our very SOULS kind of relationship! And to be frank...I suck at this! But, I'm learning every day and I wanted to share something (pretty drastic) I did this week to keep my impulsivity in check and my relationships in tact! :) I decided to be silent! That’s right folks…I am a non-reactionary, all accepting, completely allowing, non-attachment, loving, breathing (a lot of breathing) woman! It can be done. When emotions, reactions, intuitive feelings, judgments, perceptions want to come hurdling out of me at the speed of light (which is quite often, I might add), I stop… take a breath… acknowledge my feelings (very important), take responsibility for my own stuff and whewwwwwwwwwwwww……exhale! And all this in the time it would normally take me to cut someone off, mispercieve their intention, project my own fears, doubts or insecurities on them, and then make some distorted profession of my all knowing, all seeing nature! J I choose silence!

Is it hypocritical to respond? :) or should i be silent? This was a lot easier before having three boys to referee .... i crave silence and a peaceful way to respond to them.

I too have been quiet for a LOOOOOONG time and you can ask my husband, I too spew a little too much now, I am blunt and now mince no words, your words sound like I could have written them. I have noticed that when I choose silence, beautiful things occur, quietly and perfectly. Thank you soul sista for the reminder.
