When I have that uncomfortable, painful, queasy feeling - like I’m being eaten up from the inside - I know that it’s time to get it out. A monster grows. It feeds off of what I am suppressing.
Why is it here? It’s here as a messenger trying to tell - or shout at - me that there is something I need to say to someone, or action I need to take.
How do I get it out? Talk to the person against whom I hold a resentment. Express what’s bothering me. Disclose an ugly secret.
Exorcise the monster and be free from what blocks me.
I can’t ignore it. I can treat it as a blessing that informs me when something is wrong, and a reminder that I have a conscious choice: either live with the monster or determine what I need to do to get it out.
