~ The Kings and Queens of Drama Are Inviting You To Play ~
Okay, that was a little dramatic, but that seems to be the keyword for the energy coming through right now.
The energy is aiding us in dredging up yet more stuff that we had pushed within, and is it doing it with a dramatic – and not necessarily welcome – flair. Who knew we could cram so many energetic issues in just one lifetime? Oh, and don’t forget…we’re working on all lifetimes now, too.
Did something unexpected happen recently and trigger you with anger, fear, resentment or some other negative emotion? Chances are that the unexpected occurrence, your reaction to it, or both were drama filled. Then we get to ask ourselves if the drama royalty reigns; do we play or do we put a stop to it?
As for me, who works to stay away from drama and people who thrive off drama, found myself smack dab in a situation that I could have easily dove into the other person’s drama creation and her blatant push to have me play in it. This made me take a step back physically and figuratively. Using the no-nonsense voice, I held up my hand and said, “Stop. You do not chastise me for doing exactly what this office told me to do.” I wasn’t angry, I didn’t yell or even raise my voice (although tempted). I followed this up by filing a complaint with the manager.
Then I went home and went to work on figuring out why this happened. I asked myself, “What are these feelings (feelings I generated by this experience) similar to from my past?”
The simplified answer – which I talked about years ago – is that I refuse to be mistreated or verbally abused, and I sure as heck refuse to pay someone to abuse me.
So if you find yourself faced with something or someone that has triggered you – perhaps you should stop a moment, then firmly, but without attitude, yelling, or attacking back (don’t feed the drama), stand your ground.
When you’ve some distance (physically and time-wise), I suggest taking an honest objective look back to see what – from your past – was similar to the feeling evoked in the current incident. What boundaries of yours do you feel had been breached and why? What needs to be addressed, healed and released?
You have the choice to get sucked into the drama and replay that game, or take a step back from it and move towards constructive closure.
Don’t let the drama royalty drag you in and thwack you in your head with its royal drama scepter.
