Emotional Constipation

if you are not challenging your emotional self, you are being lazy.

Working on your spiritual self is not just if you engage in a religion but it is also the self work you do to be a whole person.  two weeks ago Lisa and I had a great conversation about how to manage emotions and having them.  re-reading a book by bell hooks reminded me of our convo.  in every situation we are either part of the problem or part of the solution.  even with our emotional self.

We can choose to not spend time with people who dont have the ability to meet us emotionally.  many times people who are emotionally constipated are a drain.  they are attracted to people who are givers etc yet will steadfast never be the blame for anything that is wrong in a relationship.  huh.  so friendship, family to romantic this is something that remains.  working on this emotional latitude is something I value and work on, but some folks aint ready.
