  7. Q&A: Vibe Check

    https://youtu.be/AOqdc3vFlqI?si=sMIW08jKqVjxdDXJ

    Q: I keep getting this feeling that something is wrong, but I can’t figure out what. It reminds me of how I felt right before the pandemic hit. Does this mean something terrible is going to happen again?

    A: I dunno. Maybe

    You’ve heard/read my rant about how I can’t predict the future and neither can bits of cardboard with pictures on them a dozen different times….

    At the same time, I hear you.

    Depending on your political point of view, arguably something terrible IS happening. Multiple things. Really bad things.

    That alone is enough to give anyone the creeps and make you feel like everything is just …. off.

    The card is the Wheel. Some decks call it the Wheel of Fortune. If you look at it through an old school, predictive lens it gets very fatalistic, hopeless, victim of circumstance-y very quickly. I think the real message here is CHANGE.

    Today’s card is drawing a little from the Moon card (natural cycles) and a little from the Death card (big permanent changes) but the emphasis is on change.

    You are allowed to be in a bad mood. You are allowed to be tired, or worried or uncomfortable – regardless of whether you have a reason or a cause or not.

    No, you shouldn’t write it off. Your instincts might be trying to tell you something. Inexplicable fears and worries might be our intuition giving us the heads up that we missed something. Use this as a cue to take another look, see if you can find a reason for this feeling that you missed before.

    Writing off these feelings of unease or trying to get rid of it might not be the best idea, but neither do you have to live with it forever.

    Some of my favorite second-look, figure out this weirdness strategies are very simple.

    Probably the least fun one is to just let it happen. I forget who said it (Dan Harris quoting someone else maybe??) but as a general rule of thumb, emotions are very short-lived. Like 90 seconds short. That seems a bit rapid – fire to me. An emotional funk can haunt you for hours, or off and on for a day or two at the very longest. But normally, it is time limited thing. Let it come, let it go, learn from it, this too will pass. Remembering it is temporary is sometimes all it takes to turn down the intensity of worry.

    One the most useful things is to make a plan for whatever is worrying you. We are living through the enshittification of life as we knew it, and it is impossible to plan in the middle of chaos, but any little bit helps. Decide what you want for lunch tomorrow. Check in with a friend, ask a family member how they are doing…anything. The Buddhists got that one right – action (and action plans) really do ease anxiety.

    You mentioned COVID…

    I think that’s your answer. NOT that another pandemic is coming, but remember when we talked about resonance? Remember how we said energy sensitive people can vibe so strongly with the energy environment that it feels like the fear and worry is their own and not a by-product of the energy soup we swim in every day? Just like pollen can get in your hair from just walking around outside, you can stuck energy muck too.

    One of the things this feeling of unease is asking to figure out is whether the source is you, or your resonance.

    Try this.

    Sit cross -legged on the floor or if you are in a chair, cross your ankles. Then lace your fingers together. This seals and strengthens your individual energy on a grounded, physical level.

    Now, lets bring imagination online to help your mental and emotional energies a little. Imagine you are sitting in the middle of a force field or a clear crystal ball. Get comfy in your mental hamster ball of invincibility. If it helps, decorate that mental space with things that usually make you feel happy and empowered – put symbols on the sphere, see a mug of coffee beside you, play heavy metal music – whatever you like.

    Now, with that posture and those images mentally in place….what does that do to the feelings of dread and worry? Are they still there or are you pleasantly surprised to learn “HEY! IT’S ACTUALLY HAPPY IN HERE!!”

    If this mental & emotional shielding exercise dials that worrisome feeling WAY down, chances are it is a function of resonance. Take a hot shower, or whatever other grounding, centering, clearing things that you like to do. My hunch is that a nice long shower with a clear-your-energy intention might just do the trick.

    If the worry is coming from inside the force field, if it is inside the house so to speak…then it is back to understanding an action-planning. THAT is when an ‘action eases anxiety’ tarot layout might help.

    Either way, no, this doesn’t mean something terrible is about to happen. Yes, it does mean your emotions are asking you for some attention and vibe check.

    Take good care of yourself.

    Thanks!

  9. In 1970s, psychologist Jay M. Weiss electrically shocked rats to see how it affected their stress levels. They were split into two groups. One group got a warning 10 seconds before the shock. The other group had no warning. Rats who could not predict the shock had significantly increased stress levels, showing that predictability acts as a protective buffer to stress, even though the shock was the same! #Psychology #Stress #Neurobiology

    I'm writing this on the heels of being suspended from Claude.ai for an unknown reason that they themselves haven't provided me, which I believe is just a false-positive. I don't do anything Neo Anderson-level with Claude as I only had Pro for 11 days, only used Claude Code once, and consider myself just above a beginner. But I've spent my entire life working as a technical support specialist, so I still spend a lot of time fixing and customizing technology. As a result, I have been trying […]

  15. RE: mastodon.social/@pacific06/117

    After seeing my post a friend advised me to see a doctor. I went today, and he didn’t find anything unusual. He asked about things that might be stressing me lately, and it seems the sleep paralysis wasn’t linked to a mental disorder.

    I don’t think I was wrong to mention that some @econetwork matters are stressing me, especially with our well taking longer than expected..

  17. A surprise call ☎️

    ...stressful, very painful, but... ...also very welcome... When this post goes "live", it's been about a week since the call happened. I missed it, as I was just enjoying some food, and I couldn't swallow it quick enough (and then got into a caughing fit). I saw it was a hospital, the one I was on a waiting list with for my hand surgery, so I decided to call back. I had emailed them the previous weekend, and I had asked for an injection in my hand, as the pain kept getting worse. So, I figured they maybe wanted to schedule something for that. And yes, they did want to schedule me in, but not for an injection! […]

    TITLE: Stress can scramble your brain’s internal GPS, MRI study finds

    URL: sciencedaily.com/releases/2026

    Stress may literally scramble the brain’s internal GPS. Researchers found that cortisol, a hormone released during stress, made people significantly worse at navigating a virtual environment and disrupted the precise activity of grid cells, specialized brain cells that help us understand where we are in space. When landmarks were missing, this navigation system nearly stopped functioning, while another brain region appeared to step in and compensate.

  25. Did some emotional support for one of our volunteers after a MAGA lady bitched to her about immigrants and diseases they allegedly bring.

    The good natured volunteer tried to reason with the woman and felt like a failure because she couldn't get through.

    You can make some talk themselves into a corner by just asking questions. Where did you get your data, where did they get them in turn, etc. But beyond that?
