Overcoming Negativity

I’ve been quiet for the last couple days as I’ve found myself grappling with some very negative emotions that seemed nearly impossible to overcome.  Generally, I am a very positive individual.  It’s not typical for me to struggle so much to overcome them.  I’ve really had to take a step back to try and understand what was driving those emotions – they seemed to come out of nowhere and have no specific cause.

Not only that, but my environment seemed to be a reflection of my mood. People seemed to be less friendly, my family seemed argue and bicker more, and even my wife seemed to be on a short fuse.  As I allowed those situations to affect me, things seemed to only get worse.  I found myself struggling to meditate, as my mind would immediately wander back to the days events or focus on my negative emotions.  The more I would struggle, the more those negative emotions seems to manifest into something in my physical environment..

..then it occurred to me.  Like a flash of light, I recognized the importance of that last statement.  My mind was literally creating my reality moment by moment.  As I allowed those negative emotions to control my thoughts, my negative thoughts created new negative experiences.  Those experiences caused more negative emotions and before I knew it, I was caught in a never-ending loop.

Strangely enough – this is the exact experience I needed to recognize just how powerful I was.  I had to become conscious of just how powerful my thoughts and emotions were on my outside environment.  Once I finally understood this, I was able to break through and bring myself back to a positive place.  Almost immediately, my outside environment reacted and things began to return to a more positive vibration.  The bickering subsided and the moods of people around me seemed to be much more positive. 

More of us are waking up to this realization every day.  As we begin to elevate our vibrations, we will become the influencers and guides that help others to wake up as well.  If you are going through those challenges right now, look around you and take note of how everything around you seems to be matching your vibration.  When you fully realize it, then you will have the tools you need to change it.  Then watch what happens when you do.
