Cold Comfort from a Demon Angel
Feeling like a loser today? Allowing someone to wallow with you in your misery is a bad habit. Especially if that person isn’t on your side.
This has been true since the beginning of time. “…If an organism is stuck in survival mode, it’s energies are focused on fighting off unseen enemies, which leaves no room for nurture, care and love.
For us humans, it means that as long as the mind is defending itself against invisible assaults, our closest bonds are threatened, along with our ability to imagine, plan, play, learn and pay attention to other people’s needs.” (Page 76, The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D. Penguin Books, 2014)
Sounds like demons at work to me. And that’s a good thing because, with practice, demons can be evicted from your mind.
Feeling Stuck? Connect and Recover
BAD: Turning away from the people who want to nurture and comfort you is self-punishment.
WORSE: Turning towards the people who continually harm you is a coping strategy that keeps you trapped.
To move out of the River of Shame and away from your miserable companions, find someone healthy to help pull you out of your dark mood. If you’re on a slippery slope, catch yourself before you hit the deep water. Unexpected rip tides will pull you further in a direction you have no control over.
Respect yourself! You have a choice. You are not alone. It’s time to shift your point of view on your situation.
Question: How did you fall into the trap this time?
Instead of wasting time feeling like a loser, use your time to analyze your situation using the Demon Spotting Code Words.
- Broken Agreements: someone said they would do something and then they changed their mind (Sneaky Millie – Trickster)
- Your behavior has led to some disappointing news (The Baby Jane – Chaos!)
- You missed the signs and now you’re caught off guard (Ostrich – Confusion)
Escape the trap! Head to the River of Grace and get some good advice from your Cornerman Angel Team.
