Tension
Can you handle the tension, without taking it personally?
Can you take the tension seriously and not your reactions
Focus on it without trying to direct it
Feel the emotions but don’t identify with them
Let it stretch you and shape you while not lashing out
Can you take the tension seriously and not your reactions
Focus on it without trying to direct it
Feel the emotions but don’t identify with them
Let it stretch you and shape you while not lashing out
Take the energy and run with it,
but don’t let it run you ragged and don’t outrun it
Pause and focus when necessary,
but out of need and not out of habit
Are you up for it?
"...in love and in psychological growth, the key to success is the ability to endure
the tension of the opposites without abandoning the process, and that this tension
allows one to grow and to transform."
--Carl Jung

I like what you wrote here about Tension Ethan..also the Carl Jung quote is very good.
Good questions you pose. In our more stressful perceived circumstances, can we remain objective inside of our own subjective experience? Maybe it takes practice on the smaller things first to reach the point where we have the ability to pause and become more aware inside the things that touch us on deeper levels.
Much the same way a person who has never seen a car couldn't be expected to build one without first learning the basics.
Nice reading your thoughts and words, and I really like the honesty of the tagline for your blog.
