Trudging the Road of Happy Destiny

Emotional Arousal

Over the last two weeks I have been moving between one state of emotional arousal to the next. There have been peaks and valleys without much rest in between. The value of spiritual, emotional, and physical self care has become quite clear. In the peaks and valleys I experienced emotional arousal that has produced valuable insights into opportunities for personal growth. I am grateful today for having experienced this recent discomfort and emotional lability because it clearly points out to me areas where I am prone to arousal and automatic conditioned response. Teachable moments through uncomfortable experiences seem to be what gets my attention most. I don’t know how to explain exactly what has happened but I feel as if by going through these recent events I have a new awareness of my vulnerabilities and nature. It is as if the experiences have taught me about situations that create a reaction in me so now when new life events unfold I am better able to respond instead of falling prey to what have seemed to be automatic reactions………..

Spiritual Progress not Spiritual perfection.
