This subject is very important, especially for someone who is working on their spirituality and trying to ascend. Keeping our thoughts and emotions at a high and positive level, is usually a main priority. We are so busy just living our positive life and avoiding mistakes, expectations, negativity or anything that could bring our vibrations down. It is inevitable that we will make some mistakes in our lives, but when most of our mistakes are just little ones we quickly admit our mistake, correct it and move on. It is different when we make Big mistakes especially when it involves others.
The reason I am thinking about this subject is that last night I made a huge mistake, and dealt with this very situation. I accidentally posted something that I absolutely shouldn't have on my Facebook page. I new I had done wrong within seconds of doing it, but before I could delete it my husband called me firmly informing me that he saw it and I better get it down immediately. My anxiety was already at a 6 out of 10 before he interrupted me and yelled at me, after his reaction my anxiety flew to a 20 out of 19 and my brain totally shut down. I suddenly had no idea how to delete the post, I couldn't think and apparently I did it wrong. I was so riled up for about 2 hours and I had to really concentrate on letting it go. Sadly Hubby called at 6:30 to let me know that the post was still up, this time he was much nicer about it, and I was able to think well enough to delete it within seconds.
The first time might have been very different if my husband would have just waited a few seconds or a minute to see if I would fix it on my own, rather than calling me and getting me all anxious and frustrated. Now looking back on it I wish that I could have accepted that I really messed up and not allow it to affect me so strongly. I also see that I should have been ready for a negative reaction from my husband as well, and I wish I hadn't been so engaged in the negativity. The second time my husband called he was less agitated with me and I had calmed myself and was more receptive to hearing that I had blundered once again.
After making a huge mistake we need to realize that we are only human and that we do make mistakes. We need to run damage control, clean up the mess, and then sit down in a comfortable chair, and take a few very deep breaths to calm or nerves and relax our tightened muscles. I remind myself that I need to forgive myself and be kind and loving while I soothe my frizzled soul. Apologize to everyone affected by your actions. Seek support from your friends and family. Don't try to hide your mistake or deny your responsibility. Don't be too ashamed to talk about it.
Sincerely,
Candace Sampson
