Unbending oak tree vs. flexible grass

Are you like an oak tree that was best served in the past, by being strong, rigid, and protected from the “winds” of life or are you like the beautiful flexible grasses that bend with the winds?  The mighty oak limbs can be snapped off, or broken as it cannot bend with the winds of change, while the flexible grasses blow and thrive.

As I thought about this metaphor, I realized how much I had braced through the trying times of life like an oak.  As I pondered being flexible like the blades of grass, I felt a relief thinking about the difference and wanting to embrace an even better way of living.  I was happy when I realized how much I have already changed by tapping.

If you were raised in environments, whether at home, school, or some other place that taught you to be a “fighter” you may have developed an unbending, rigid personality out of a need to protect yourself.  The question is, do you still believe you need to like an oak or flexible with the ease to bend?  You get to choose as an adult, but how do you release all the pent up anger, frustration, sadness, and anxiety of the past?  Tapping moves that energy up and out of your body, subconscious mind and heart.  It’s your choice.  Have you decided to tap yet?
