Hi Ya'll!
okay-- Lets talk about Satya. Which translates from Sanskrit to English to mean "Truthfulness". I think we are could come together and be on a good consensus that telling the truth is a good thing... Even in the ten commandments it tells us "Thou shalt not lie."
But what about the lies we tell ourselves? Have we ever thought about that? How intentional are we with our thoughts?
This is one of my biggest goals this year: "To be impeccable in my words and thoughts".
Lets think about this..
How many lies do we tell ourselves a day? Just yesterday my husband was ignoring me haha.. he was on his phone... ALOT. So I started telling myself some lies about the way he felt about me. I caught myself, but here are some of the lies I told myself. They literally flashed through my head in under one minute. It wasn't like I was sitting their dwelling on these things.. I literally just had these thoughts almost instantaneously after he ignored me haha
Here it goes:
He would rather talk to other people
He knows how bad it bothers me when he ignores me while texting, when I am trying to talk to him, but he simply, does not care.
Him ignoring me is an action to show me that he does not like me much.
WHAT THE HELL RIGHT??!!?
lets think rationally now.
**1. He has a lot going on, and a lot of people are coming to him for advice and questions. He is trying to balance family life vs. helping others. Both noble things.. He loves talking to me, but for a second he is busy with other people..
Might not always the best communicator, but definitely does not "not care". Also--very poor multitasker haha.. thats okay.
His actions are justified and by communicating with him effectively, this problem could be solved easily. No intentions of hurting me or anyone else. **
So here is the thing.. Sometimes our thoughts are somewhat hard to control.. but by being just a little bit intentional.. we can stop a lot of heartache and struggles before they happen. Especially when they do not need to happen.
So here is the wrong way to handle that situation (in regards to satya)
get frustrated internally and not speak our truth.
Let the thoughts keep going, and going, and going until you have made up a completely false situation up in your mind. Also very unhealthy.
Solution:
"Hey babe, Will you communicate and let me know how long you'll be busy on the phone, im anxious to talk to you and spend time together."
THE FREAKIN END.
anyway. work on it.. see how your relationships and life changes just by being truthful with others, and I think equal in importance, truthful with yourself. Tell me what you think.
Peace out steemers
