In times of challenge/crisis/difficulty we tend to cry: why me?, then poor me!. These two thoughts pull us down (bring our energy down) and leave us feeling unable to cope and that things are impossible. So firstly we need to pay attention to not letting our energy go down. To these two thoughts.
Then if it does fall: pull back from the situation, re-coup, elevate your energy and then consider your options. Don’t take any important decisions when you notice that your energy has gone down, you are tired or you feel low.
Set yourself some supports in advance, strategies to elevate your energy and stop you going down that the negative reactive path.
Examples:
– when things are tough remember that ‘this too will pass’ and so hold on in there.
– when life does not seem fair, in fact life is fair. It has a beauty and bounty of all of its own it is just that I don’t see it right now. I will see it though when this passes and the bounty of this situation.
– all is well and all is well and all will be well.
– I know that I will come out of this and when I do I will say: that was some experience and I find that I will have learnt so much. I will find myself looking back and saying: what a gift that experience was.
– if you think it will put you in the ground it will, but if you think otherwise- that you have so much to give and you want to learn – you will come out of it triumphant.
– shift from the false belief that life is out to get you to the true one that life is here to support and nurture you and make something out of you. You may not know what but it will be something beautiful
– meditation: a tool for focusing your thoughts in a positive way. Then when something happens we can help by sharing pure and positive thoughts with those who are in a place of suffering and loss.
