S2E4 : How About You?
We often react to what others are doing instead of PAUSING to respond in a more thoughtful, loving way. This matters. Because our lives affect each other.
S2E3 : How About Choosing Positivity?
The world within ourselves includes both good and bad, but we can choose to think, speak, and act in good.
Love Light
What is truly causing you discomfort about your situation? What is holding you back from speaking up or acting? It’s not uncommon to feel not enough or to make unbalanced comparisons or to resent or to be jealous. That pattern of thought and feeling is low-frequency. It’s negative and you know it. You know it by how you feel as you go down that rabbit hole. However, in those moments, you can switch on the highest of frequencies - LOVE. You can bring light to how you are feeling. You can be compassionate with yourself and nurture your well-being. There are endless things you can do from looking in the mirror and telling yourself, “I love you.” to meditation to taking a walk to calling that friend who always makes you laugh to dancing in your space to diving into your work or a hobby. Shine your love light on your insecurities.
Allow Your Truth
What will others think?
What will others say?
What will others do?
There is compassionate consideration and then there is self-abandonment. Sometimes it’s not about circumstances. Sometimes it’s not even about change. It’s just about you loving yourself. Accepting yourself. Allowing your truth to breathe.
Believe
It’s within you. Yes it is. You have the freedom to make the choice to be positive. Of course we experience challenges, loss, and pain. But those experiences need negativity to survive. Instead, you can dig deep and summon the strength to feed positivity to those experiences. Your positive energy has the power to transform challenges into an opportunities, loss into acceptance, and pain into healing. Believe.
Only Love
Not fear. Not judgment. Not anger. Not conspiracy. Not hate. Not indifference. Not resentment. Not pessimism. Not revenge. Not doubt. Not prejudice. Not racism. Not conditions. Not comfort. Not separation.
Enough is enough. We’ve tried all those other things. They don’t work. The only thing that connects us is LOVE. Love without thinking.
What Are You Feeding?
Love Is Simple
We have found different ways and words to justify the judgment of others. Social media and cancel culture. Anonymous attacks to expose. All done for the greater good. Shaming, in any context, does not teach or heal. We have become so removed from love energy that it is no longer our primary expression with each other. We reserve it as we create conditions. We deny it to determine if it’s deserved. We preach oneness and practice separation. We ask for positivity and share negativity. Love is simple, but we’ve made loving difficult.
Healthy Distractions
Engaging in activities that are positive and productive can benefit our wellness, sense of self-worth, and attitude. However, to force engagement, even in something healthy, and not also work on your pain, trauma, and darkness is fear-based. It tends to be more about hiding instead of healing.
Your Energy
Your energy can be a source of loving kindness and healing support. You can manifest peace. You can express love. You can be positive. This is not an attempt to ignore what ails each of us. It’s a way to ground each of us. To connect with our light to move through the darkness. We can overcome or be overcome.
Self-Love To Heal
We yearn for what was. We fear what hasn’t happened. And we tend to loop inner dialogues based on both.
If you’re hurting, then hurt. But also give yourself an opportunity to heal. When you relive what has hurt you in the past, you ignore what can heal you in the present. Your hurt will only last as long as you give it energy. The clear message is that you do have something or someone in your life to be grateful for. Yes you do. Remind yourself, as often as you want/need.
Accept the hurt and accept the healing. I know we can’t control every thought that pops into our minds, BUT we CAN consciously decide what to do after a thought. This is true for every moment of your life. Therefore, the beauty is you can choose healthy, healing thinking and behavior whenever you want, such as: gratitude journaling, positive self-messaging, therapy/counseling, meditation, yoga, exercise, walk, travel, a forgotten hobby, a warm bath, reading, etc. I’ve deiced to do 20 pushups whenever I consciously engage in a hurtful thought or behavior. Bonus: my pecs desperately needed the attention,
I know the ache can be debilitating which can also cloud all of your senses. In these states, we also doubt the possibility and bliss of love. So, we give even more space to the hurt and build a wall to love. Your healing can be so restorative. The journey to healing can present lessons and gifts you never could have imagined.
But first, you need to commit to self-love. To heal, you must love yourself.
