Keep on The Sunny Side

Sometimes, we happen to encounter people whose words/behavior are impolite, or who treat us unfairly. Sometimes, they surprise us with their opinion about us, based on a gossip, or their own assumption that is more than wrong. Other time, they stun us with some senseless, out of the blue demands, or claim our achievement as their own. 

Have you ever experienced any of those, as well?

In most cases, such persons neither care how we feel about what they say, nor how they present it. When we digest that particular unpleasant situation, reliving it in our mind a million times, they have already forgotten about the entire incident. They just threw their low frequency on us and moved on. Negative emotions affect our mind and, when accumulated, destroy our body. That is why, there is no point on dwelling on their words/actions. It only hurts us as we get tangled in their negative energy, and gives them power over ourselves. The experience itself is unpleasant and unnerving, but you can choose how you react to it. Do you really need to stay entrapped by somebody else’s low vibes? No, you do not.

Therefore, after initial irritation (when it occurs), make an effort to step back, and look at those people, and it all, from a distance. Bullies are just being what they are. They have not learned better, yet. Quite likely, they reflect on others their own fears and their own negative vision of themselves. What those people do not realize - thoughts and words are energy, they carry specific vibrations. Hatred spread on others, resonates like echo, coming back to its source, the person who produces it. The negative load eventually gets them, influencing their life, as well.

In that understanding, the saying “God bless them as they do not know what they are doing” may help you detach yourself from the low frequency they make you feel.

Whenever such a person comes back to your mind, send them that thought, or another one, such as e.g. “God loves them and cares for them”*. It will help break the negative entanglement and set your mind free. Moreover, the higher vibration sent by you, may give that particular individual a chance to use it for their own development, if they choose to.

Nothing is accidental. Everyone whom we meet in our life is a learning opportunity. Whether we decide to learn from that is another matter.

After all, each of us is just another souls trapped in the physical reality of our body, struggling with learning earthly life lessons so no reason to be unkind.

A lady I know, when I tell her about something I find positive, she usually responds in a way that sometimes makes me feel less excited about what I intend to share.

Examples:

Myself: ”I’ve had a nice walk in the woods”.

The lady: “There must have been a lot of ticks (which could bite you and give you terrible disease).”

Or

Myself: “What a nice building!”

The lady: “Its windows are dirty”.

I have known that person long enough to know her reaction is subconscious. She does not say that on purpose, to spoil the mood. Her words do, though.

Everything is subjective. The way we see the world is based on our beliefs and prior experiences. Our attention is directed also by habitual thinking. 

Are you like that lady? Exercise your mind. While looking at the reality around you – people and things – notice the positive aspects of them, the nice side and beauty of what you are looking at, not the ugliness only. It is not about fooling yourself and calling negativity positive. What is negative is still negative, no matter what we call it. It is about changing our perspective and, what is more, the law of attraction. What you focus on, intensifies in your life.

After some time of such a directed exercise, your attention will become moderated and automatically focus on the brighter side of  life (although the latter reminded me of the old song by Monty Python, I am sharing a different song here).

Find inner peace, find things you enjoy doing. Be yourself and be joyful. Despite what other people say or think.
