I recently had to send a very hard text message. There was a family conflict that I had tried to bury and act like it wasn't effecting me, but I realized that I was compartmentalizing and not acknowledging my feelings. Once I instead got honest with how I was feeling and decided that acting like the situation didn't exist wasn't serving me anymore, I had to do something about it. I can't be on a spiritual path while also putting my head in the sand and acting like I didn't know it was happening. I had to reply to a text message, and both set boundaries and reply with love. I took a full week to decide on what to say. I didn't want to make the situation worse, but I also needed to explain my feelings. So, for the first time in my life, I prayed before I pressed send. Instead of being reactive and just lashing out, I took the time to reflect on what I wanted to say, and then prayed before I pressed send. And I was actually proud of what I said. The energy was different, and I hope that it is the first step in our relationship being different. Have you ever prayed before you pressed send? Or have you ever reacted and then wished that you had taken your time?
