In my version of being knocked back, it's easier if I acknowledge how hard the thing is and how deep it runs. T helped me with this in large part just by asking if I wanted to come back the next day. Seemed like he was in tune with the "ouch" of the thing. It felt like I'd been scraped alongside my body, everything hurt. But giving it the attention rather than trying to avoid it, the light and air helped it heal. Now I see this as a luxury, to be able to focus on the thing and nourish it so it feels better rather than goes underground.

Yes, I was thrown for a big knock back last week. It's still rippling, I feel like for the most I have found the ground again. It's not solid, it is there. It is nice to see that the bounce back has been much quicker, even if not all the way back. We went through some training at work about renewal/recharging. One part of it was about emotional well being. I was all ready to hear the talk about emotional IQ, not feeling very strong there at the time of the training. Instead it talked about emotional fitness. It defined emotional fitness in terms of the time it takes to get through the rough patches. I liked this much better because it seemed like something that could be worked on like other fitness goals. And like physical fitness, some challenges are harder than others so it might take more work to get through them. It also didn't down play that rough patches can knock us back/down. In fact it was all about how life consists of these events, and learning what things will help move you back to your solid state (whatever those things are and what that state is for each person).
