The Role of Frustration

Today, I want to talk about the role of the emotion known as frustration. And it does have an important role.

Seems like no matter what I'm experiencing these days, I'm getting a download about what role that emotion or experience has in my life almost immediately. Or maybe I'm just prone to outright asking, "Why do I get frustrated so easily? What role does this play? And why did so many humans not want me to express frustration?" Because I love to dive deep into my shadow, and frustration and my tendency to get frustrated easily is definitely part of my shadow.

If there's one thing to know about your shadow, it's that it holds the keys to all of your expansion. This is why you dive right into it. Your shadow isn't always negative. It just holds everything about yourself that you repress for one reason or another.

So, frustration. Yes. I get frustrated easily, especially when it comes to anything that I intuitively feel should be easy but for some reason ends up being convoluted. Now, there are a couple of components to this. For example, am I doing the task my way or am I trying to do it someone else's way? Lesson for me here. I'm supposed to do most tasks the way I intuitively feel guided to do, not the way someone else tells me to do it. (Unless of course, we're talking about learning a skill I have not learned before. In which case, someone else's way will be the correct way until I figure out my way.)

And this shows up as a lesson rather immediately. If I try to do something the way someone else told me to do it, it falls right apart, becomes convoluted, and doesn't work. If I do it the way I am intuitively guided to do, it's easy and we're done in only a few steps.

My question for my incarnated self right now is: When are you going to just do things the way you know you need to do them?

But I digress.

Things not going smoothly is frustrating. And sometimes that happens outside of a lesson. So when it's happening outside of a lesson, what good is frustration?

Frustration is actually a blockage clearing emotion. When you let yourself get frustrated, even to the point of tears, you are actually pushing through an energetic blockage in your system. You are punching past a limiting belief that's sitting in your unconscious mind. The tears are just the release of the blockage. (So, get frustrated, cry about it, and to hell with all those fools saying "You're too emotional!")

Whenever I allow this to happen, almost inevitably, once I'm done with the tears and expressing the emotions, there's an opening and clarity. All of the sudden, I know exactly which way to go.​ I know what to do. I can solve the puzzle in two steps. I know who to contact. I know which idea is best. I know which way is best. And I'm no longer feeling so much pressure.

I suppose this post is also about feeling your emotions. I say this as someone who has for all her life been told:

• "You're too emotional."
• "You're being melodramatic."
• "Don't get frustrated."
• "Don't be sad."
• "Don't be nervous."
• "Don't be such a cry baby."
• "Don't get angry."

People have really just wanted to control the hell out of my emotional output in some manner. But it's bullshit. All of that. Cry your tears! They're releasing suppressed emotions! If you're a Lyrian, you're meant to be emotional! It's our superpower.

I say this to remind myself of this, because sometimes I even forget. Sometimes I'm way too hard on myself, and it's okay. I'm always working through this undercurrent of programming surrounding being emotional. I think we all are, whether we're space Lyrians or Earth Lyrians. I think it's part of the physical experience of being a Lyrian. Something we all go through, because we have big emotions. Very powerful energies flow through our heart spaces, and sometimes it's like trying to ride a hurricane. Other times it's like watching a perfectly still lake. Just part of the experience.

I thank you for your time. Adiamas.
