Don’t Act in ‘The Dip’...
This concept has saved me so much unnecessary pain...
Healing comes in waves… DON’T act in the dip.
This is a philosophy that has saved me so much heartache, stress, and unnecessary pain.
When we go through something devastating—a breakup, a death in the family, sickness, losing a career, etc.—if you pay very close attention, you will see that the intensity of the pain ebbs and flows.
It comes in waves.
And it’s not always linear either.
You can be good at first, surprisingly, only to suddenly be swamped with the full-force of grief months later when you least expected it.
Not only does our pain come in waves, but also, everything kinda comes in waves…
The tides, the seasons, day and night, earths orbit around the sun…
It all comes and goes.
When you recognize this wave-like nature of reality, you begin to learn something very important.
When you’re in a low—or as I called it, ‘the dip’—you’re in an energetically low state.
And consequentially, your thoughts, feelings and actions that arise in that state will be equal to that energetic state.
Aka: you won’t make wise, informed decisions when you feel like sh*t.
We all probably have some sort of experience in this…
Texting our ex when we’re drunk, blowing up on our boss and quitting our job, throwing things away that meant a lot to you, buying something impulsively, etc.
We don’t make high-vibrational decisions when we’re in a low-vibrational state.
And understanding this philosophy I’m sharing is a life-saver.
Don’t. Act. In. The dip.
To the best of your ability, refrain from taking any action or believing any discourse of thinking while you’re in a low vibrational state.
You may think, “yeah, easier said than done.”
But remember: this low-vibe state comes in waves. You won’t be in the thick of it forever.
And if you can reserve your actions until you’re in a lighter, higher energy… I promise you, it will reap much better results.
You’re much less likely to do something you’ll regret, and you’re much less likely to act in ways that perpetuate those waves of pain.
When you let nature takes it course within you and through you, you will always, always heal. It’s built into the system.
But when you impulsively act out from low-vibrational energy, you just prolong the healing process.
So with this being said, do the best you can to refrain from acting when you’re in ‘the dip’.
You’ll thank me later.
