Stop Giving Negative People Your Power
When you find yourself giving negative people or issues too much attention, it’s time to take back your power and pivot to the positive.
It is a challenge that we are in a big negative contrast right now, running on fear and doubt. But you know better. You know you have the power to think only your beautiful, good thoughts. You know the Universe says ‘Yes’ to all your constant thoughts and words! Don’t say ‘yes’ to fear.
Contrast Is Negative & Positive
Contrast is a very big part of us – it helps us grow and evolve. This is because contrast – the opposite of what we want – is actually helping us decide what we do want.
When you are in this contrast, it is helpful to remember:
You are not doing anything wrong just because you’re IN it. Actually, you are on the cutting edge of all this, if you are leading with your Inner Being. As the philosopher-poet, Rumi, wrote in the 13th century:
Becoming awake involves seeing our confusion more clearly.
The inspiration you seek is already within you. Be silent and listen.
Change Your Mindset: Negative to Positive
Let your Inner Being take the lead. I saw a t-shirt that said,
When the devil’s at the door, I let God answer it!
Let your Inner Being answer for you. You concentrate on being in alignment.
Sift things that feel good. Do something that feels good. Write a note to a friend. Hold a door and smile a kind greeting. Do something for a neighbor. (Recently, our neighbors shoveled the snow out our driveway. What a love-ly gift!) Little things. Love is in the details. You’ll know – you are not in the wrong place. You’re in the right place.
Unfair
Okay – it seems unfair that you may have to live with something you don’t want. But you also know it is useless to try to keep yourself in a place where everything is exactly as you want it to be. That is what Heaven is. You came here to earth to experience. Yes, there is bad and good. And through it all YOU GET TO CHOOSE!
Get Rid of Negative Around You: Choose
Stop thinking the bad thoughts. Really. Stop and talk to yourself.
I don’t have to think this bad thought. I can choose any thought, and, by Pollyanna, I’m going to choose a thought that feels better!
Stop struggling and fighting. You choose: Do I want to be right – or – Do I want to be happy?
You can let go of the anger and the fear. Pivot. Choose hopefulness. I like to say All is Well… and So it is.
Well… that IS the essence of WELL-BEING. You can choose well-being.
Pivot from Negative to Positive
Let go. Pivot. That is the way out of the dark. Pivot to your Light. Just one little Light – and the dark is diffused. And the more you shine your Light the brighter it gets… until the dark is no more. It is dissolved.
Choose Hope. It is filled with optimism, anticipation, promise. Just saying those words, you feel yourself moving up the old emotional journey rope.
You will stop being so depressed – so blue – which really means that you have not truly been breathing. Pivot, and you will breathe again. Breathe easy.
See Clearly
You may get to a point where you are hovering over all the tangled ick. You’re up there, looking down on it. You can see it clearly for what it is. Bad, dark, sucking your power. Ick! Why would I want to get tangled in that?
At this point, you may chuckle as you wonder – Why didn’t I just tap into my good-goodness?
When you feel the icky negative emotion, stop yourself. Know – this negative emotion is important. You’re getting a message. You’ll remember. This is when you get to ask: What is it that I want? And then you know the next step: simply… turn your attention to what you do want.
No Baloney
I know it sounds like baloney! It seems like a story… fiction. But this is the real way you want to live on earth. Human Beings are clever and inventive and hardworking. But mankind alone eventually makes a mess of things with all kinds of negative rules, directives, orders, and expectations. You know when you do not resonate with that.
When you change, you feel open and free. It’s when you are in union – aligned – with your Light. Divine. Universe. Source. God. Whatever you want to call it. This alignment is you real power. This is how you make your Heaven on earth.
More Alignment
There are many more puzzle pieces in letting go of negative dark and finding your positive aligned Light. It is the key to regaining your true power. Next week we can look at more of the steps to finding and being in a life with your…
LIGHT ON!
