Are we fatigued?

Yesterday, a friend and I were talking about how we felt tired, sad, and uninspired. Being the sort of people who take responsibility for our lives, both of us were asking what’s going on that we felt this way. We realized the best word to describe how we’re feeling is the word fatigued.

Even though there were some great results from the mid-term elections and we’re both happy about those, we also saw that right away the next batch of challenging issues popped up! Can’t we get a break from this negative energy that seems to be sweeping the country? Apparently not.

I realize some of my spiritual friends are already mentally criticizing me, asking what’s wrong with me. If I were truly spiritual, they might be saying, I would be above that sort of energy, I would be focused on positive outcomes, I would know blah, blah, blah. And on it goes.

So, I’m not as enlightened as they are. I might have part of me in what’s called the fourth and fifth dimensions, but I’m still part of the third dimension where I live my life, relate to other people, and try my best to serve, learn, and grow. What I’m learning right now is how important it is to take good care of myself and others around me. We need to feel safe and supported. We need to take time away from the energetic stream and find ways to feel happy. Meditation is important, of course, but so is enjoying music, art, colors, sound, nature, and all the other good things in this world.

It’s important to be the Hanged One in the tarot deck. Let go and let God while looking beneath the surface of life and knowing all is well even when things look like a royal mess. I’ll do my work today, but I’m also going to play some and enjoy myself. I hope my friend and others like us do the same!
