Emotional Slut

Don't be an emotional slut in a relationship, intimate relationship or not. What is an emotional slut? That is a person who reveals too much of themselves to early. It's akin to being a whore about your emotional past or present.

Treat those things as sacred, whatever they are. All your experiences are sacred to yourself and should be cared for like that. This is called taking care of yourself. We all need to take care of ourselves. See my blog about this. In essence, this is a part of that.

Those experiences, good or bad are sacred parts of who you are and how you became the person you are today. They are not meant to be given away. I have deep dark secrets that I keep away as sacred. However, I even keep some of the good times that I have had away for safekeeping. I am learning how to keep these sacred and close to the vest. This is not to say you should keep everything but you should take an inventory of what is really sacred and those that can be revealed say on a first date or with your co-workers.

For instance, I use some of my personal life to connect to my co-workers, discussing things like the house or my film or other things. It's a way to connect with them. It is sacred to me as those are my means of living and such. But they are not the things I experienced as a child or in a marriage. It is all sacred as you are a sacred human being.

Try not to be slutty and reveal all to someone just to get them close to you. It doesn't work. Trust me, I've tried and it backfired. Many times. I have been an emotional slut and am learning to value the sacredness of my experiences, treating them as such.

Keep your emotional clothes on and treat it as a sacred offering when you give it away.
