Saboteur pile on

We all still get hijacked, even after 18 months of Positive Intelligence and years of coaching. Sometimes being aware of what is happening, having the tools and yet still suffering makes it even worse. There goes the judge and hyper rational again. Beating us up because they are still there.

And this is a huge test of our Sage powers and our mental muscles are severely tested. Against the backdrop of such turmoil in Ukraine, all our worries and frustrations, small and big, come to feast as soon as we let them. A proper saboteur pile on.

Mine started with my electric mini’s burst tyre yesterday. The usual pot hole saga that had me blaming myself for not seeing it, railing against new house builders blighting our rural idyll, local councils for not taking action, not having good enough French to complain eloquently, then blaming my husband for buying a car with non run-flat tyres and one that our son can’t drive so he’s stuck at home driving us mad, and now having to use the big diesel car and price of oil and Putin…….

Saboteur Jackpot! In an instant I’ve reached the worst case scenario, the bottom of the spiral: death and destruction from a simple puncture.

My usual strategy, being English, is to have a cup of tea and, if it’s really bad, a piece of cake too.

I now also have PQ reps, to ground me and keep me focussed on the present. And my Sage to connect me to my essence, my purpose and my power. I can be compassionate with myself, laugh at the saboteur tricks and be grateful for all I take for granted. And I can get into action, for me and for others.

You have these tools too. How can they serve you today?
