2️⃣ There are states of mind that arise from our way of facing what happens to us, either with resistance or acceptance. How do you face the difficulties in life? Identify your mood here.
Until I read the prompt, I never thought to think that there are states of mind towards the kind of things we face. However, the more I thought about it, the more I understood where the question was coming from. Say, should you encounter a unique situation in your life (better said, a problem) how would you face it? Every instance when we are met with a different kind of difficulty, right before you take on the big girl pants, what do you do?
How fitting this prompt came just when I realised that I am a runner. Well, I did not just realise it. More like I’m just accepting that it is my nature. I have this flight response to some situations that I can’t understand and most of the time, that response is in defense. Ehn, I couldn’t fail to notice that circumstances or problems that require more hands-on solutions are easily welcomed. For example, bills, budgets, school, events… I face these kinds of things head on. I don’t resist. Once they arise, I launch straight into action. I do not mull or wonder. I just accept and dive.
But when it comes to things I can’t quite fix with my hands or use my brain, things that require me to use my heart, I run. Yeah, I bolt like my ass is on fire and this comes off as resistance. Many parts of me protest when I am required to ‘own up to my feelings’, ‘deal with confrontation’, ‘speak up’, ‘be frigging mature’. The list goes on. I don’t do well with expressing my feelings. I don’t know how to. I believe time tells it all and words are nothing without actions. I always struggle to express myself when it comes to matters of the heart. Especially when I have to do it in person. This is why I could be more forthcoming over chats than with face-to-face discussions. I hide behind the screen… cowardice? I don’t know. Maybe.
Anyway, I can be resistant or receptive depending on the nature and structure of the problem. I could immediately launch into solutions, accepting that the crisis has risen or I could just resist till I am ready to deal with the problem. Sometimes, I just pretend they don’t exist because, how the hell am I supposed to deal with what I feel but can’t see?
