The Siren's Call is a song that lured unwary sailors onto the rocks in mythology. For me, it's the habitual belief that everything has to be hard, which lures me onto the 'rocks' of making things difficult for myself. I've been dashed on the rocks by this belief hundreds of times over my lifetime, and I am only now starting to get a handle on it.
Sometimes, I can even see the sirens before they start to sing, and shove cotton wool in my ears (or look for something more positive to listen to). Many times, I see the sirens just as I am about to reach the rocks...too late! Occasionally, I lie on the rocks, being battered by the tides for a while before I realise what the sirens have done.
Every time I hear the siren's call, I learn more about resisting their song...in my natural way. Which is largely to laugh at it. I know it doesn't help me to make things hard, I know it's counterproductive...and I also know that being hard on myself for being 'taken in' by the siren's call is another manifestation of 'making it hard'. HA! I'm not gonna fall for that one!
How about you? What is your siren's call? What is that belief that always lures you back onto the rocks? We'd love to hear from you.
