Very true,
Although, silliness has a place in everyone's life I think, sometimes there's only one way to express a certain type of energy. I think another trick, or task perhaps, is to observe oneself enough to understand what energy is being expressed how in one's life?
Yes, totally. I find it interesting how passive aggressiveness in most is often the normality of expressing oneself in a nasty way, than the truth told in the most healthy and assertive way possible. Keeping yourself stable in such an environment, which crosses every personal boundary, is a brutal task as a unique moment.
A more related example, speaking from an energy redirection point of view, could be to control the level of leisure as an alternative escape from an uncomfortable situation because we do not understand it at the moment. Sometimes we have an internal struggle that we decide to fight by disconnecting from the present and at the same time, something in your mind is generating a spark of thought that makes you point to something more important, but we ignore it.
Another example, according to the capacity and ability of each person, create personal projects that keep them in a sufficiently stable harmony and not fall into existential victimhood. For example, I as a photographer, I have to create personal projects when my service is not hired, otherwise, I am standing, frustrated, angry and worried about the income and accumulating all that energy that only manages to sink me more and more.
To some extent I have questioned my own artistic goals and abilities, what am I really using them for?, how am I wasting this ability to only give myself joy? It is a way of the self-sacrifice? and that is where I see what Ark says as very useful and the other thing that I see complementing it is:
Not working as diligently as possible to know God through creation - and that includes all branches of knowledge, arts and crafts - is defined by the apostle as a judgment toward God.
My brethren, count it all joy when you find yourselves in various trials, or fall into various temptations.
Be calm and understand that the trial of your faith produces tenacity, determination and patience. But give free rein to tenacity, determination and patience, and work conscientiously to develop yourselves to perfection, without lacking anything.
From where you are, the situation you are in, what creative project could you explore, discover or add to what you do and dedicate to it the firmness, determination and perseverance to realize and take advantage of the potential that the accumulated downward spiral offers us and redirect your energies in a more useful way for you and for others, outwards, in the right way? Keeping in mind that sometimes, we try to add things, forgetting that we must lose things.
