Hindsight is 20/20


A few weeks ago I had a very strange encounter with an acquaintance and it made me very uncomfortable.  I didn't think much about it other than I just wanted to distance myself from that person and just let it fizzle and not do anything about it.  Well... then I started having nightmares about being eaten by ALLIGATORS!  AHHH! And it was nothing like this cute alligator below! 

 JEesh! Anyway, I went on my merry business not thinking much of it, but I kept having a lot of anxiety about the situation and couldn't figure out what was wrong with me!.... Then I spoke to one of my really good friends from back home and she suggested I look up what those types of dreams mean.  I've never been one to believe in the hocusy pocusy stuff (well maybe a little bit) but I am now a believer!  I looked up what "being eaten alive by animals meant" on The Experience Project and was amazing at the insight it gave me.  I was able to take the bull by the horns and rid myself from this toxic person and experience from my life!  It was incredible, I got the ca-hones to tell her how I felt and that I didn't think it was healthy to be friends anymore.  

I guess the reason I am sharing this story is that I learned a really amazing lesson today.  When you aren't feeling yourself and you are having an abnormal amount of sadness, anxiety, whatever it may be, take a minute to examine yourself.  Not physically but mentally.  Take a minute to listen to yourself and what is really going on.  I feel like a 100,000 lb weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I feel like I can breathe again.  I didn't even realize how much it was bothering me until I communicated and closed the chapter on that experience.  Rid your life of toxic experiences and people, even if the person isn't toxic but the experience they caused was, it is ok to make decisions for your own health and happiness.

In hindsight I should have nipped this situation in the bud and I wouldn't have had to go through all of the anxiety associated with it.  However, I feel so much better now, so all is good!

The End.
