Magical Thinking Won't Help Us Now | Coming Out of Denial

Magical Thinking Won't Help Us Now | Coming Out of Denial I wrote this a few days ago and couldn't quite bring myself to post it. Then I decided to just say it out loud instead… 'Okay, so here are some thoughts I'd like to share. It feels like the world is literally on fire, and I'm not sure anymore whether it's good enough to hide behind pseudo-spiritual language while being in total denial of what's going on — or to spin crazy conspiracy theories bare of any facts. I don't know how to ignore the recent lunacies, especially having a dear friend in Kuwait who is directly affected. How is it that the world seems to be run by power-hungry men, as if it were something just to be destroyed? Let's see who gets there first. Personally, I don't believe we can just escape into fantasy worlds anymore — although I love living there, because most of this reality sucks. Still… Being someone quite sensitive, I've been asking myself: how do I stay informed without excessively going down a rabbit hole or spiralling into a full-blown 'we are all f**ked' anxiety attack? There must be a more balanced way. And if anything, I've been thinking — maybe this is where trauma-informed approaches could come in handy. Calming the nervous system before consuming news, then talking about it in a group without making things worse, sharing views and opinions, and afterwards somehow shaking that energy out. I don't need a cacao ceremony (see Dr. Anya), but we all need to find a way to not run from reality — to deal with it without being in constant threat mode. Because that's not ideal for making good decisions. Maybe this is all a big jumble, but I'm just free-flow writing here. I don't think closing our eyes is an option anymore — just talking about how great the last ice cream we had was. But only focusing on the hard stuff isn't either. It's such a tricky thing. How are you all navigating this?' In this video: Spiritual bypassing, coming out of denial, Lissa Rankin's spiritual bypassing course, healing from narcissistic abuse, and how trauma-informed approaches might help us stay present with what's happening in the world without spiralling into anxiety.
