Dear Suzi,
We are permanently changed by our life experiences, and you are therefore not exactly the same person as you were more than two years ago. Whatever has happen to you of a highly negative nature between then and now has seriously as a result compromised your ability to handle any further added unnecessary stress, with possible long term consequences for your physical, emotional and spiritual health if this cannot be brought back under a reasonable level of control again over the next six months covered by this reading.
Not only are you effectively not quite the same person you were way back than, but the ways in which you respond to extra stressors (sources of stress) has been temporarily (but not necessarily permanently) altered and ramped up to the point that even the slightest inconvenience may appear to you to be the end of your world.
I am not a qualified doctor myself, but I do know from direct first hand experience of my own condition which may be remarkably similar to your own that our body's immune system is continuously listening to our most regularly held thoughts, and if it detects that you are for some reason losing your motivation to keep going in site of having coped reasonably well up until now when compared to a lesser person, it turns down its vigilance and sensitivity accordingly, leaving you increasingly vulnerable to any nasty bugs which are currently doing the rounds at the time.
While I cannot predict that your health will either deteriorate or improve during the next approximately half year, and it would not be worth it as I could leave myself open to legal prosecution if I did, your reading is encouraging you to seek qualified medical advice, a solid diagnosis and if it exists the appropriate treatment from a doctor if unexplained symptoms persist for more than say a few days and which do not respond to self medication or the usual health measures to restore the normal balance.
Do not on one hand become a hypochondriac and view every symptom as a sign that something much more serious and untreatable is going on deeper down, but on the other hand you cannot afford to indefinitely ignore them with the belief that they will always go away by themselves, given enough time to do so.
Nuff said?
I do not know whether or not other people are depending upon you for their economic survival, but if they are then what I am about to say to you is even more urgent than it might have been otherwise. According to what I am hearing, it appears that 2011 is going to require some further belt tightening from you if you are going to offer yourself the maximum possible chance of getting through the year with your weekly budget and bank account balance both still looking relatively healthy.
Do not get the mistaken idea that I am predicting that you are inevitably heading for financial disaster and the poorhouse roughly between now and late July, but I do feel that you will need to do some creative juggling of your money and other saleable financial and/or investment resources in order to successfully weather this storm.
Your reading includes words of comfort to the effect that you are felt to be more than adequate to meeting the financial challenges which will be presented to you during this year's first half, and that as a result of some short term personal sacrifices that overall in the longer term your financial future is looking fairly promising in the best type of way.
But once again these positive assurances and words of comfort are associated with a corresponding friendly warning that you must not tighten your belt or make sacrifices in any areas either for yourself or your dependants which are critical to your future survival, safety and welfare. In other words, anything which endangers your coping abilities, your health and general peace of mind is hereby completely off limits to the razor gang when it comes to deciding what things must stay in your life, and what things must go in everyone's best interests.
Finally we come to the highly sensitive area of your closest relationships with people around you. Your reading not surprisingly mind you suggests that because of some people's negative comments and criticisms of you over the past few months, your relationship with these family members or friends could be uncomfortable to say the least.
It would be incredibly tempting for you to immediately react or shoot first and ask questions later with the intention to want to get revenge on them for appearing to interfere in what is your business alone, but that if you do give into this temptation that you could possibly become even more isolated from the support which you so badly and urgently need. A few choice wrong words in the wrong place could potentially permanently poison your relationship with them from now on, which would be highly counter-productive and therefore will never do.
In your dealings with this person or people, be more assertive of your right to decide what is best for you without t the same time being overly aggressive and losing all connection with them in the process. Sometimes the best you can hope for is to agree to disagree or to reach a mutually satisfying compromise with this person which preserves the peace between you for the longer run.
Sometimes it is clearly better to turn away from a battle and walk in the opposite direction, instead of pushing your luck and possibly making things between you even worse than they already were. It would be to your advantage to either be willing to reach a mutually beneficial compromise with this person, and walk away NOT to fight on another day.
The next six months will be filled with challenges as well as valuable opportunities for your personal growth and development if you play your cards right and hold them close to your chest, mainly in the health, financial and close relationship areas of your life.
How well you will or will not scrub up by the end of this period will be primarily determined by whether you see each obstacle which is placed in your path as being either a serious and unsolvable problem, or alternately a golden opportunity to show your family and friends (and yourself) that you are a long term survivor of the highest grade and that with their friendly assistance and support whenever you feel it is necessary (you must learn to ask), that no challenge will be too great or frightening enough to continue to hold you back for very long at any time from continuing to move forwards with faith and courage and a sense of realistic optimism as your most constant and loyal travelling companions.
Loving regards always from one of your biggest fans and closest (?) internet friends,
EoT
