RAISING YOUR VOICE AND THE LINE 'AY AY AY'

 Hi Virgin River Fans,

Raising your voice to prove a point is a positive and negative thing in so many ways. Getting the fine balance of getting it right can take time. The whole 'putting the foot in your mouth' syndrome can be related to this incident of raising your voice at a person who's blasting their phone volume to the max volume that leaves you with a pounding headache until you can't think clearly- until you hear the throbbing of your brain so loudly in your ear drums. My question is what the heck were earphones invented for then? To listen to the sound of your shows in peace. This is just one example, but this word 'ai ai ai' is kind of confidence draining and off putting. It drains you of all the confidence you have under your belt. It makes you slowly crawl back into that dark shell that you try super hard to break out of and blossom out of like a caterpillar coming out of it's chrysalis. It's all about that metamorphism that just gets torn apart  and makes you turn into the statue of silence. You wanna hide yourself underneath all the layers that you've tried so hard to shed.

Okay, I'll stop rambling now, and give y'all mind-altering, earth-changing advice. Sit back and relax against those fluffy pillows and blankets. Slide into your favourite pair of loungewear/PJ's/hoodies, sweatshirts, and joggers/t-shirts and shorts. Grab some cake to munch on. Listen loud and crystal clear:

'Being able to raise your voice in the positive light can make you have an impact on another person, but risking it and getting put back into the safe zone or your lane is a humbling experience. So most of the time there's a 50/50 chance of it working in order to make change. Is it taking the easy way out of you're avoiding conflict by not being rude and piping down? Maybe, but sometimes backing down is a better way to go, cuz you're taking the high road, and being the bigger person is better than nothing in the end.'

Ooh. That is some solid advice. It's about being able to recognise when you're going off the deep end into unknown territory and biting off more than you can chew. You have to find inner peace and be able to step back into the background when you're sinking into the quicksand of trouble. You can dig a trench of trouble so deep that there's no coming back from it or 'getting over it.' It takes time and effort to jump back onto the same page as the other person. Also apologising would be the route to go, but talking it out and getting to the root of an issue is the best option to put it behind you and move on to bantering like there's no tomorrow. You can go through hell and back for a person, but when you're faced with all the positive outer persona being on the line it's easier to back down then go into the lion's den.

There's me rambling on and on again. I'll give you some more awe-inspiring advice. Sit back and relax against those awesome pillow and blanket forts that you've turned into castles. Slide into your favourite pair of loungewear/PJ's/hoodies, sweatshirts, and joggers/t-shirts and jeans. Grab some Mini Cheddars to munch on, and listen loud and crystal clear:

'You have to assert yourself to gain your sense of self back if you're trying to be who you were in a different timeline. Being an advocate to yourself can make you put yourself out there in the spotlight of life. Just find positive ways to challenge a frustration so you're not shouting or being 'too much.' When you ask a question once and get angry about it just do all those breathing techniques to get to the realm of calm.'

OMG. That was great even if it was short. It's about being able to find that road to trust and respect between a person and yourself. Trust is everything and to earn it, you've gotta go down a rocky road of hurdles before you can place your trust in a person. Anyway, raising your voice to gain confidence and self-esteem/self-worth in order to believe in the term of advocating can be the greatest thing if you know how to do it in the right way, or the right setting.  That's all  easier said than done, but you have to be able to lower some defenses so you're not in the zone of trouble.

Okay I'll stop rambling and give y'all some awesome mind-blowing awe-inspiring advice. Sit back and relax against those fluffy pillows and blankets. Slide into your favourite kicks/chucks/trainers/sliders/fluffy slippers/fuzzy socks/crocs/heels. Grab some Bounty to munch on. Listen loud and crystal clear:

'Just fly under the radar like the heroes in animation movies. It's sometimes better to blend in the background of the colour-wheel of life, not all the time you can be like an explosion like a firework of emotions that can't stay buried under the surface like a dormant volcano they have to flourish and come out in the light of day. Even if you've strayed out of the lines drawn in the sand.'

Ooh. Some solid risk taking advice there. I'll leave you with a little quote that will really get y'all to dive deep into the inner workings of your mind. It goes along the lines of:

'Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.'

A Cinderella Story.

Whoa. That's an amazing line to keep you from being afraid of wanting to be whatever version of yourself is the right one for you to impress a person so much that they don't put you back in the line of fire of the warning zone.

One last thing for y'all to chew on:

Will you step out of the comfort zone to  raise your voice despite this sticky thing called consequences?

Enjoy.
