Netflix and Me.

There’s so much going on these days, with the polarization of how people are reacting to this pandemic. I’m guilty of bobbling up or down based on the latest information out there. But then it just got too much. I was being tossed around like a rubber ball in a hurricane. I had to find a way to ground myself.

I have been known to read shadowy articles, watch Area 51 documentaries, CIA movies, and at times, argue for their existence.

In the action genre, my alter ego is always the top agent, the a**kicking navy seal or the legend who is the only one that can save the world. In those worlds, the bad guys are defeated, and goodness wins.

But the mystery of what I discovered, particularly during these unknown times, was far more compelling than the stories I read or watched.

Those secret missions, covert operations, and ideas around alien life where my alter ego battles life, is really my fierce desire to know myself. They are my informants, my weapons, and my potential happy endings.

Like any good confidential informant, they offer valuable information. So, delving into stories that may or may not be true is fun, but less important than what it triggers in me.

When I feel confident and more at peace with myself, aliens are angelic beings that want to help humanity, a**kickers are heroes, and bad guys lose.

When I am more fearful, angels become lizard-like creatures, fighters are just cowards acting violently against another, and the bad guy gets away with the crime.

The universe is always offering feedback. Whether you’re a Netflix buff, a book reader or just love having deep conversations with people, all forms of communication act as resonance from the infinite source.

It’s like an invitation for you to witness what you’re feeling and to reach out if you need help. We all connect to energy one way or another, and we all get to move between good and bad. Ultimately, it’s the side you spend most of your time on that will win.

Both extremes give me insight into where I’m placing my energy and what I need to work on to make my outer world match my deepest values.

If I find myself watching too many movies that offend my sensibilities, I know it’s time to take a look at where that’s resonating in my life. When I feel defeated, the SWAT team is reminding me that honour and camaraderie prevail, and the bad guys won’t win. I notice that it reflects how I wasn’t feeling supported and that I’m not leaning on those who love me, and that if I reach out, the negative feeling won’t win. It revealed the harmful space I was holding inside myself.

Contrast exists in humanity. It shows up in films, politics, books, pretty well everywhere, and maybe it’s there for us to always be able to notice the choices we’re making.

Yes, sometimes a cake is just a cake. But I watch films for entertainment, and also to observe my heart and make a conscious choice of what side I want to be on. They help me figure out what my goals and dreams are, what I want from life and where I am with that.

Of course, I want to be the a**kicking heroine, but she also needs to be aware of the coward inside of herself so she can keep it in check.
