Hey everyone...
Sorry I have been away for a few days. Let's just say I had, what I am now calling, a Divine Temper-Tantrum. Have any of you had one of these? Mind expounding upon your experience?
(((Mucho amor a todos!!)))

You said, "usually because God didn't give me something that I thought he should have"
It was the inverse for me. God gave me exactly what I wanted... "and a bag of chips." And boy did that bag of chips send me over the edge. They were ruffles... I HATE ruffles! (LOL)
;-) Much Love to you all!

i don't understand if i might call it that, yet on uncommon social gathering, I do decide for to enable all of it out. while you're mad b/c of a demanding situation (activity and or abode), it is sturdy to launch your anger in some situations. If something small would not go your way, or if little issues get the basically right of you, throwing a tantrum isn't the basically right thank you to deal with it. I even have extremely of a demanding life, for the previous 2 years I even have been spending 75-ninety hours a week doing examine for a criminal business enterprise. The pay is sturdy, however the activity is particularly ingesting my life. now and back, whilst it gets the basically right of me, whilst i'm on my own, i will %. up my table chair and wreck it into the floor, or go outdoors and spot how a procedures i'm able to throw one in all my casebooks. additionally, some situations a week, I placed on some Disturbed or Slipknot and hit the punching bag for a million/2 an hour. If people observed me try this, they could be a splash apprehended formerly each and every thing; besides the indisputable fact that, by utilising doing this, I shop my sanity and am in a position to come again to artwork with a sparkling head. in case you do not do something like this, it is going to stir interior of you over the years and breed a bitter ideas-set marked by utilising a relentless cynical nature.

Oh I can relate honey! Screaming, stomping my feet, holding my breath till I'm blue in the face...usually because God didn't give me something that I thought he should have (can't you just hear my "but you promised" whine??)!
...and it really escalated when other Christians confirmed that they thought God was going to let me have what I wanted when I asked and then he said "no". Like the time I prayed my father would come through heart surgery without complications and several others in the church joined in an assured me that the Lord would be with him...then he suffered a stroke during the operation. That temper tantrum lasted for several months before I began to realize that God HAD seen him safely through the operation (he did not die and the original heart problem was corrected)...and that the stroke may have been God's way of teaching my dad a lesson he'd been resisting for years!!

lmao - oh yes, I will let it rip when I really have something to say.
Arms flying, fist shaking, rage ripping insanity. Sometimes it's about an innocent who has been hurt or worse, children and animals fall into that category for me. I will rail against that, and if anyones listening, those are some burning ears. lol
There are times there is so much frustration, and I am so blocked, all I can do is hiss and spit. And sometimes that is just the ticket - that energy then helps move the block. I had a teacher who always taught us the only way to shift something was to be totally honest with the circumstances, and yourself. If that meant seething, then so be it - just be on the lookout for the moment you can honestly let it go. I work very hard to stay in my own company on those days, don't want to act it out on others. But there is always something to be gained, and focused energy is focused energy - it has no judgment.

Not today, but then I haven't been working in the bowels of a boat, up to my elbows in mud, blood, grease and beer, so the Universe avoided a damn good blasting today, but it had better watch out !
A few weeks ago I had a situation where the Forces of Sod were clearly aligned with some crack in the trunk of Yggdrasil, and my engine alignment wasn't going to work out, no matter which way up I turned this planet. At one point any of you living within 500 miles of the San Andreas Fault line, may have noticed your coffee slopping about in your Winnie-the- Pooh mugs a bit, that would have been me .... sorry :-(((

Yeah, that's why I'm reading Emotional Intelligence to better understand what the book refers to as emotional hijacking. It's alot to absorb, so I read bits and pieces of it. I just wrote an answer to Digilook and it's in my files if you want to have a looksie.
We want to be able to maneuver through those without casualties. I'm afraid that the part of the brain that can take over and make us act outside of what we would rather is an ancient, outdated part. So, we actually have to chose differently to change our chemistry.
And that's part of the problem with this. It's more instinctual than reason-able. Reason usually is the chaser to one of these episodes.

You mean like that time my voice suddenly changed into what sounded suspiciously like Linda Blair's demon in the Exorcist - then my eyes popped wide open and my head did a 360?
Yeah....so?

Temper tantrums are not divine, they are for toddlers who don't know what "no" means.
Sounds pretty childish to me.
