Angry? Frustrated? What Are Your Emotions Telling You?

By Virginia Goszewska on July 15, 2024

Here's an excerpt of an email I sent a client who's been experiencing challenges.

Recently, I've observed people transitioning from the way their life has been to something new and different. That can bring up a variety of feelings, some pleasant and others not so much.

I remember thinking in the early 1990s that my entire life was about frustration. There wasn't any part of it that worked, from health, finances and career to my marriage. All were falling apart. This perfect storm became the springboard that has shaped the rest of my life of personal discovery and helping people like you.

Change is in the air, welcoming it, liking it, wanting it or not.

For some, it's an exciting adventure.

For others, a dark cloud hangs overhead.

You, like the rest of us, have had a lifetime of listening to the false guidance of your ego, that façade of an identity. For you, it can include difficult emotions like anger and frustration. These emotions are like software glitches.

Here's what Wikipedia says about glitches… "computer glitches are incorrectly written software, incorrect instructions given by the operator, undetected invalid data, undetected communications errors…"

You are not your software.

In contrast, your Essence, the real You, is prompting you to listen within. This is the part of you that knows "all is well."

By the way, your Essence is your natural state. It is You 24/7.

Abraham-Hicks said:

"Your emotions are your indicator of how your active thought blends, or doesn't blend, with the thought Source is thinking about the same subject in the same moment."

The inner turmoil you're experiencing is the conflict between your ego's perspective and that of the Source within you.

Naturally, your ego is taking an all out stand for you to listen to its lies, lies that lead you to feel frustrated, angry and needing to sort things out.

To protect itself, it uses a type of logic in which it's already trained you, indoctrinated into you, so you believe that it's telling you the truth. It presents its case that leaves you feeling anger and frustration.

The logic only works if you see things from its limited and fearful point of view.

Habitual thinking creates entrenched neural pathways in the brain. These become your default, your easy "go to" ways you react. These reactions, instead of responses, don't always serve you.

Just because ideas are in your head does NOT make them true!

However, you can most assuredly access your true Essence instead, as it is YOU!

A key is to differentiate between the whispers of your ego and your Essence.

You can improve your ability to tell the difference. It just takes practice and noticing the results.

The ego certainly doesn't want you to be around positive people that shed light on how it manipulates you. It has you in its dominion when you're feeling negative, not good enough and in lack, back where you can be controlled by the stress and chaos of unsupportive emotions.

In defense of the ego, it thinks it's protecting you. But these patterns were created from a child's approach to survival. When presented with adult situations, the peace of your Essence offers greater insight and direction.

SEE THE BIG PICTURE

1. Ask your Essence to speak up clearly, to be heard. How? Simple. Just ask. Its guidance is always here, but we don't always listen.

2. Choose to let go of your emotions. How? It's just a decision. You have more power than you know.

3. Step back and observe from a detached view. How? It's like changing a TV channel. Choose a neutral station. In driving, shift to neutral.

4. See from the perspective of your Essence, and tune in to its guidance and inner wisdom. How? Relax and observe without the story and preconceived ideas you usually have.

Soaring eagles have keen eyes and see further.
