When the Black Dog slinks in...
There was a time when the black dog smothered my life,
Filling all the places where I desperately wanted to breathe.
I learned to work with the Black Dog
I befriended him
I learned his needs and wants
And we agreed to boundaries I had not expected would happen.
These days my black dog is called Lucifer.
He is kept on a leash and under control.
He tries occasionally to take over, to swamp me in his energy
But I have many tools to use that stop me from falling under his spell.
I know the signs to look for.
I make sure I fill me with nourishing foods
I get plenty of rest
I stop burning the candle at both ends
I look to what could over stress me.
I understand my propensity to be emotionally swamped
By other's emotions as well as my own.
I spend more time with emotional nuances
I see them as shades of colour
The hues of life either filled with vibrant energy or not
By so doing...
I may live my life in the light
Experiencing every colour and hue.
