Ah, I'm back there again. Here again...
Frickin PMS will seriously turn out to be the cause of my downfall. I feel irritated, anoyed, distant, dissatisfied on a constant basis. Well for the past couple of days anyways. There are a few identifiable things that I could attribute this unrest to but instead, let's look at it in a different way. And of course, to welcome these feelings and let them stay for as long as they need to...
Marshall Rosenberg (author of non-violent communication) looks at dissatisfaction with life in terms of needs not being met.
Which of my needs are not being met right now?
My need for love, for a stronger connection to people.
My need for safety.
My need for control.
My need for feeling conpetent and confident.
Think I shall spare you the details of my current anguish :)
What can I do for myself to meet these needs?
love - reaching out to others and have faith in my family and friends, that they will be there for me instead of assumimng that they won't understand
control - I know what needs to be done and before these things are done, the control is out of my grasp, no planning can be done before I send out the applications etc.
Competency/ confidence - Just do it. Instead of thinking and worrying a bout it and waiting for everything to be perfect before I start anything, I could just do it the best that I know how, at this time and place. Then wait...
But things need to get rolling...
