Be Creative In How Your Stand Up For Yourself

Our Divine Download for November 15, 2024 is Spotted Skunk/Stand Up For Yourself from The Illustrated Bestiary. Although Spotted Skunks are known from causing a stink, smelling up the room is really a last resort. Skunk can make herself appear larger than her naturally diminutive stature, convincing even the toughest customers to leave her alone. Although Spotted Skunk does not back down, the harm she creates is pure illusion. While the unwary will be stinky for a stretch, but Skunk stands up for herself without causing permanent damage. In this way she asks you to consider how you may both stand up for yourself but do no harm. Each of us has a style we revert to when we feel cornered. Some of us, like Possum, play dead, others will attack like Grizzly, and there are those who will turn and run like Rabbit. When it comes to handling conflict, Spotted Skunk is a profound teacher. Despite her diminutive stature, she doesn't back down, fluffing herself up to appear much larger than she is. Think of it as "pulling an aura," this ability to feel energetically and spiritually bigger than your actual physical body. Tiny Spotted Skunk doesn't run from a fight. In fact, it's usually the big, bad predator who says, "Sorry, Ma'am, I confused you with someone else. I'll just be on my way." Even when she causes a stink, Spotted Skunk doesn't cause permanent harm. Instead, she assaults the sense, convincing even Bear and Wolf that they'd be happier if they left her alone. How do you handle conflict? So your methods achieve your goals? What can you learn from Spotted Skunk?
