One of ‘those’ days…
‘One of those days’ …when mindfulness techniques were needed.
‘One of those days’… when no, you don’t automatically wake up feeling amazing, like you can take on the world.
In truth, despite what others may say, I believe that actually this is somewhat of a mis- representation of what it is truly like to be human. Human beings are ‘emotional’ by their very nature. If people were really honest with themselves and faced their truth – how ‘happy’ are they really? – are they happy all the time?
Of course not.
We as human beings work in a world of polarities. We only truly ‘know’ expansion when we have felt the opposite. Just as we only have a conception of grief when we are aware of happiness. Expansion and withdrawal…this is one of the Universal Laws of energy flow. At times you feel positive and expansive, on other occasions you may well feel despondent, down or frustrated.
Trick is to remind yourself that this is ok. Observe these emotions and thoughts but not to allow them to steam roll you into a spiral of self destruction and self-sabotage.
In other words, don’t deny and ignore ‘negative’ thoughts and emotions– as such squashing them like a jack-in-the-box to pop out and give you a nasty surprise later on… Rather give them space to be but make the conscious decision that you are not going to allow them to overwhelm you.
There are lots of ways to help with this… today as I practiced what I believe in… I looked at the beauty all around me. How can you not feel uplifted by the beauty of nature? Thought I would share these leaves with you today… simple, unique and…stunning! The worked for me… I decided that it was time to reach out and share my work more and reaffirmed my decision to overcome my own self-limitation and to complete and publish my online course…
Turn a ‘negative’ into a ‘positive.’ That is something we all can do as human beings in a world of polarities.
