Energy Update "What to do with Crazy Makers"

Several weeks ago I mentioned a conversation I had with a friend about distraction in life keeps us separated. Connection comes when we stay in the present moment. Distraction I liken to crazy making. We all know crazy-makers; those who distract us or need to keep themselves distracted and try to pull us into their storm of distraction too. If you continue to recognize people in life who leave you feeling flat or angry, hold a boundary with them. Statements like, “Let me think about it.” Or “I feel” when talking to them can help. If they are trying to get you to agree to some feeling they have which is of no consequence your real power is to say nothing at all, just listen and stay quiet (no response). Just sit there and look at them. If you just hear them and don’t respond? They’ll dump their anxiety and be more vulnerable with you because you’ve opened a door for them to have intimacy by not having to fill the moment with chatter. It’s a choice to enable them and keep agreeing or rush in to help them when they are in drama. The other choice is to follow YOU by allowing them to go through their ritual but respond differently this time. In this remember not to offer solutions to their problems but instead offer support through messages like, “I bet you’ll figure it out.” Truly, the universe put this in their lap for a reason and it is for them to work through. Keep your friends, don’t get angry at them, instead, rise up and be a new mirror for them and see if they can see their reflection.
