Empowerment & Understanding

Important components to keeping you positive.

You must learn how to protect yourself from negative energy. When you are working toward making your dreams come true, you must learn strategies to avoid and maneuver through this world without letting the negative vibes other people can send your way to affect you. You must learn how to change the way you see everything because everything can affect your psyche and physical well being.

Now more than ever leading health professionals are realizing and studying the connection between the health of one's mind, body and spirit. Thus, making sure that you find the proper tools to equip you with protection against those who might lower your spirits is crucial to your life. I say crucial because every moment spent not feeling your best is a moment that affects the world. The minute you feel low, you cannot give to another person who may need your love and attention. This low feeling robs you and others of their happiness. This is an important concept to keep in your mind at all times.

Some ways that you can learn to not let the negative energy of others affect you follow:

  1. Empowerment. We have choices in life. We choose to react to situations in a particular manner. We can change how we see something. We can keep our minds open to new possibilities. If someone is negative toward you, there is always a positive light you can find from it. For example, many times if someone puts you down, ironically, it is because they wish they were more like you. They need your attention and they have not learned how to get your attention in a more productive, positive manner. Maybe in their life, no one truly cared about them. Like a child, when adults feel most vulnerable if they have not spent enough time working on healing their inner child, they will resort to acting from that child's emotional place.
  2. Understanding . Building from the above idea, thus, we need to try to learn to understand the people around us more. We are a community. Our actions do matter. We need to remember this. One person's words, voice, thoughts, and actions can change the world. Just think of people like Mahatma Gandhi or Mother Theresa. These incredible people have touched hundreds of millions of people's lives all around the world. Never underestimate the limitless power within your capabilities.
  3. Do not forget where you came from . We are all on a continual spiritual journey in life; one that teaches us how to love ourselves more perfectly and those around us. In this journey, as we master certain stages in life, we must not forget where we came from. For example, when we have children, our children will go through many of the hardships we went through with insecurities, emotional upsets, etc. and we need to remember how we felt at those moments in our lives so that we can not only honor our children's feelings, but also give them the kindness and compassion we wished for ourselves at the time.

These are just a few things that help me stay positive and help me continue to double, triple and infinitely manifest joy, happiness, success, and my vision for my ideal life and dreams.

Great article! My husband and myself have decided to do a little work on ourselves and your words are what we need to remind us when we slip. I am printing this one and putting it on the refrigerator door.
