Ya, But

For your consideration……

If you are here, certainly if you have been here more than once, you are a lightworker. Your path, unique to you, is one of a lightworker. Today’s message is about protecting and encouraging you.

Lightworkers are here to serve. They like being of service. They live in a state of joy as much as possible and they try to perpetuate and share that joy. It is important that joy is protected.

It is only natural for a lightworker to try to help those in need. They want to lift people up and lighten their burden. They are good listeners, have big shoulders and open hearts. They help…. one person….one moment….at a time.

However, sometimes we come across people who despite what they say, do not want help. They do not want solutions. They do not seek joy. Oh, they say they do but their words and actions do not match. They like being miserable. So for every word of encouragement, every solution or idea, a lightworker gives is met with a “ya, but”.  You know these people whether you admit it or not. They are the ones that you dread making plans with. They are the ones that when you see their number on your caller ID, you do not want to answer the phone. They are the ones when you are talking to them you are tempted to make an excuse to get off the phone. They are the people that when you finish talking to them you feel drained, empty even sad.

While there is no harm and indeed lightworkers have a responsibility to try to help, when met with consistent and constant resistant, we have to just walk away. Lightworkers like anyone else, need encouragement. They need to recharge.

To do that we need to place ourselves around others who have joy. We need to do things that bring us joy. We need to limit those people and things that suck that joy away and drain us. We need to save ourselves and protect ourselves….our light and joy…..so we can help those who do need and want our help. To be of service requires you to be healthy and joyous. To project light you have to be light.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take……

-Meditate/pray…..connect with your light, love and joy.

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and connect with Mother Nature. Take in at least 10 deep breaths.

-Pause and remember what brings you joy and what you are joyous about. Have those ever ready to pull in a moment when you need to.

What made me smile yesterday…….

-A PJ day.

-Laundry done.

-A great dinner.

-A good book.
