Davina HerbertRecently I have been expanding my business. This led to a couple of people finding my work who see the world differently to me. They disagreed so vehemently with what I was saying that they took the time to make derogatory comments on my posts. This surprised and upset me. A lot of emotions came up – anger, resentment, victimhood. “Why me? My aim is to contribute to the world and make it a better place – not to bring someone else down.” When I had finished with my pity party, I reminded myself that what other people think of me is none of my business. Here’s what I didn’t expect – the trolls weren’t the real lesson, I was.
When a second and then a third troll appeared, I realised that I needed to dig deeper on this issue to see what was going on for myself energetically. So I became curious about where I was being less than loving to myself. I realised that I had been still hanging onto some outdated beliefs around judgment and it being safe to be seen. So I did a healing on that. Then I sent love and blessings to all involved in this experience – including myself.
Our beloved animals are gifts at being mirrors. I can think of many times where Doll was a perfect gift and mirror to me. When I went to the stables to see her and I was grumpy and out of sorts, she would let me know it very quickly. So her mirroring me gave me the chance to see where I was at and to be able to make different choices, if necessary.
Here are my key take-aways from my current experiences.
- What other people think about me is none of my business
- All of life is a mirror (including our animal companions). If a pattern keeps appearing, get curious about what is really going on for you.
- Say ‘thank you’ regularly– all of life can teach us, even the unpleasant experiences.
