FEELER (Child of Cups)

HOW AM I FEELING MY EMOTIONS TODAY?

My internet connection at the Catwalk. Cafe Wi-Fi place just went off! Oh no. Upset, quandry, worry, anxiety, oh no! I run to Edwin theowner, but instead of just screaming like a little petulant, spoiled child whose toys have been taken away, I breath, I temper my tantrum. But how will you cats ever read this if I don't get online. This is just so, so important. Oh no! Ah, go back to those "fortune principles" that have been empirically proven to work for those of you who want good "luck" and sustainable success. I apply the four principles, be open, it's an opportunity, stay positive and trust your intuition. Okay, I am doing that, and actually, instead of moaning and groaning, I am finding something else to do, like actually be creative in ways that I had not planned. Maybe the Child of Cups is instructive here. Kids may cry and scream, but then recover and usually quickly find another focus, another game, another toy.Instead of being the child with unfettered emotional expression, it's good sometimes to mediate and parent them (this is called "emotional intelligence"). But, but, but I don't want to completely censor my feelings. It's a delicate balance, particularly in certain kinds of situations. To feel and be whatever at the Catwalk is somewhat OK, but not when I am working with a vice-president of the prestigious Ernst and Young company. We are going back and forth about my presentation to some of their biggest clients. While the subject is to have a session with these clients that has a "bite," I think it's amusing and playful to ask the veep what kind of corporate animal he is (this is a thing I often do in corporate trainings – to have participants identify themselves as a beaver, butterfly, dolphin, owl or eagle – ). I felt this out... should I bring up this kind of animal zoo thing in an email when its serious, grave work to come up with an impactful ("biting") agenda? My inner child Feeler loves it! Of course, let's have some fun and "enlighten up." My responsible, inner Emperor archetype was not so much in favor of this. What to do? Remember, intuition is very specific to a particular situation, and actually I was emailing to the veep's assistant, an enormously bright, creative and naturally playful guy. To him, my intuition said, let the feelings come out. Had my email been to the veep, no way. It is a delicate balance that requires taking some time and "feeling out" the situation in a balanced, centered way.OK, I've filled up my time being creative and writing this as I wait for the router to work at the Catwalk. Oh no, it's still not working... I'll go for a walk.
