Hi Jennifer:
Learning to get grounded will help with the light bulbs. Learning to
pull in your energy field and be very non judgmental will help with the
empathy. An affirmation: "I resolve to use only my own energy, especially
in a social situation" helps to keep from getting too entangled in others
emotions.
K. ate your career... well, you are not the first. But when Goddess
takes, She gives back something better. Get very grounded and have a chat
with your heart, about what is the path of your bliss. Being self employed
and awakened is great! On fuzzy days you can stay in bed and on clear
energy days, work 20 hours effortlessly... so long as you are doing
something you enjoy, that is meaningful to you. Some some skills were taken
away but doubtless other new talents arrived. Now you just need to find a
place to apply them, that someone will pay you for.
I have been self employed more than not, and looking back I am amazed
at some of the ways I managed to pay the rent. I remember one spring a
friend and I printed up a lot of small posters advertising ourselves as
"Two grrrls with rakes". We charged $10., hr each to do odd jobs, like
gardening or painting fences, stuff like that. Put the posters up around
grocery stores and markets. Most of our clients were senior citizens who
were getting a bit too frail to maintain their own homes and gardens. It
was fun!
I have been occasionally hiring someone I call my organization angel.
She is one of those very organized neat freaks, and she is putting herself
through university by renting herself out for $30. hr to help people
organize their lives. She sorted through about 6 years worth of filing for
me, closets, the garage... My ADD brain is not very organized, and I cannot
force myself to do things that bore me. Getting her to handle it, was a big
weight off and I was glad to pay her.
When I was in High School, I was quite inspired by reading of a woman
who became a "Professional listener". That was in the 70's and she charged
$30. an hour to listen to people. People would come and just talk to her
about anything, and she made no promises of advice or therapy. Amazing how
many people need someone to really hear them. She took appointments in her
home, and got a big dog just in case someone misunderstood what she was
offering.
Surfing the web researching my interests, I discover people who have
made a career out of casting ornamental cement stepping stones, or making soap.
Self employment can be easy so long as you choose something that
interests you enough to keep you motivated. Sure, it does not have the
pension plans and stuff you get with regular employment... but if you are
really doing what you love you will be successful enough to set that up for
yourself, later.
When you have too much energy, put your hands on the ground and let it
flow back into the Earth. Sit under a tree, and let the tree give you a
reset. It is all going to be OK! Find an ashram to take you in for a while,
if you need to. A Buddhist monastery is probably a good choice. Beware of
cults, they are easier to get out of than to get into.
Blessings...
