DEAL WITH IT

Some people sweep things under the rug when things get difficult
or they don't want to deal with something unpleasant.
They think no one will notice,
but it is really hard not to trip over a bumpy rug.

Instead of trying to make a deal with what makes you uncomfortable -
just deal with it. Problems swept under the rug tend to multiply.
It seems as though time expands problems the longer those problems are avoided.

I heard a story long ago that if you need to learn something,
or a lesson in life, first life sends you a gentle whisper, a hint.
Next life send you a brick.
Then, if you still don't get it... life send you a Mack truck,

Unfortunately to say, I've had the Mack Truck.
It's not pretty but I won't do that again.
I've learned to listen to the hints and suggestions of
the universe before I get clobbered.

I've also learned that the quicker you handle things,
the quicker they are over. Gone. Ka put.

So my best advice when things get really uncomfortable
is to deal with them now.

Here are 3 Suggestions for When You Want
to Sweep Something Under the Rug:

1. Ask "What am I avoiding?"
If you want something to go away, you are avoiding something
that you think might be painful. Just being aware of that pain
can bring relief. Just "seeing" it is no longer avoiding it.

2. Ask if this type of scenario has happened before?
What would it take to keep it from happening again?
A different decision?
A different action?
A different choice.?
A different response?
Note the word "different" has to be there to be effective.

3. Be brutally honest. Ask "What am I afraid to say, or do?"
Answer this question and you most likely will have your answer.

Having no messes "under the rugs" is a great way
to free up energy in your life.
You'll be much better able to reach your goals.
No more tripping up your life.
You'll walk on a much smoother path to success.

Get rid of the broom.
Let life itself sweep you off your feet!
