Surfacing the Expectation Behind My Intention
What are we expecting to happen when we set an Intention?
Author: Sharon C. Wilson
My husband and I had begun a very intensive nutrition and exercise program. We were getting up at 5:00 am each morning to perform our exercises. One morning, when we were doing our weight lifting and using our weight machine, I noticed how irritable my husband seemed. Each time I made a suggestion regarding the challenge he seemed to be having with the weight machine placement, he would get more and more angry and began lashing out at me in frustration.
I felt a wave a anger wash over me and I said to myself, ‘He is so ungrateful! I get up everyday and spend all this time doing this for him and he repays me with ingratitude! He is selfish and really a jerk!” By now I was seething with anger and preparing to tell him to make his own meals that day and I would not be supporting him any more in this effort.
I took a deep breath and asked for guidance on how to see the situation in a new light. As I began breathing deeper, I asked for any information that Spirit could provide me that would help me find harmony in this situation. In my mind I said, ‘I just want peace.’ At that moment my husband looked over at me and said, ‘I am just very frustrated right now.’ I quietly left the room to make his meals and by the time he came down from his shower, I had begun to feel less angry.
Later that day I spoke to a Spirit coach and asked her to help me shift my perspective about this situation and to better understand the theme that was showing up, knowing this emotional trigger I experienced was an opportunity for spiritual growth.
After centering, we asked for Spirit to be the coach and to help me see what needed to be revealed for the highest good. She asked me a series of questions to do an energy diagnostic:
‘What was your intention to start the exercise program with Bob?’ I was wanting more quality time with my husband so we could connect on a deeper level.
‘When Bob reacted the way he did what was your feeling about him?’ I felt he was ungrateful and selfish.
‘What were your
expectations of him?’ I wanted him to work out with me and be cheerful.
‘How does it make you feel when he is not that way?’ I feel like he is not appreciating me and I don’t want to do anything for him.
“We breathed into my feelings and asked for any images or impressions of what this feeling wanted to share with me. Unexpectedly, I saw that I needed Bob to act a certain way for me to feel good and when he did not meet my expectation I created the feelings of unappreciation.
“I began to see, as the images flooded to me, that I was the one who was not appreciating me. There was a part of me that needed me to appreciate me more. Giving others the power to make me feel good or not good was not appreciating me! What a revelation!
