Drive Gently Over the Stones
Are you making your hard times harder?
Part 2
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2

When we listen to others sometimes we can't help thinking -- it was bad enough this should happen. Why do they punish themselves further? Things are clearer when it's someone else, yes?

All of these self-thoughts amount to driving hard over the stones, and they add insult to injury. They add to our toxic state and drain our energy. They are catching "it" by the blade and injuring yourself further.

When we chose adverse ways to deal with adversity, we compound the harm and usually end up having survived the initial event, but having to clean up one or more messes we've made in the meantime.

It is similar to the preschooler who gets made because her painting didn't turn out the way she wanted, and then throws her paper, paint, brushes, water, and herself on the floor. But I don't mean this lightly.

Eliza, Meg, Norma and Rosa all lost their marriages of many years when their husbands left them for younger women. Eliza, Meg, and Norma all drove hard over the stones, and caught it by the blade.

Eliza started drinking again after 10 years of sobriety.

Meg turned bitter about men in general, and put herself through a period of promiscuity which reinforced her negative feelings about men, and damaged her self-respect.

Norma became depressed, neglected her job, got fired, and added financial problems to her burdens.

Rosa, on the other hand, used the anger-energy to blaze through graduate school in record time with record grades, and focused on a brilliant new career for herself. She told me, "We Italians say 'Anger is an expensive luxury' and one I can't afford. I want to enjoy my life, and I won't give anyone else the power to take that from me."

When we dwell in negative thoughts and mind-frames, it brings to mind another proverb, this one a bit of African wisdom: "Whether the knife falls on the melon or the melon falls on the knife, it is the melon that suffers." You can't be angry without being anger, or as the Koreans say, "If you kick a stone in anger, you'll hurt your own foot."

Developing your emotional intelligence gives you options in adversity, which is to say resilience (one of the EQ competencies). It means being able to bounce back from loss, rejection, disappointment, insult and injury, and still retain hope for the future. It's definitely worth cultivating.
