subject: How Do I Find Something Positive in THAT?! [print this page] How Do I Find Something Positive in THAT?!
It's true! It's easy to love people and things that are lovable. But those prickly things people do are sometimes a bit tougher to let go of --even if you know they don't mean to bug you. So how to let go and feel better fast???
...Create a list of Positive Aspects for that something/someone
that "ruffles your feathers"!
Time: 5 Minutes
Effort: Easy!
Take a subject that caused you to focus negatively today, and come up with as many positive aspects as you can! You may may have to really look, but I know you can find something! It will help you easily change your negatively focused thoughts into positive or neutral thoughts, and release that little bit (or a lot) of resistance that is keeping you from being "in the Vortex" and feeling really good right now!
Start where your feeling are and find 1 statement that feels better and write that down. By the time you're done, you'll be feelin' much better on that subject and find yourself feeling more positive as you get to the bottom of your list. Try it!
For instance, here is my list for the lawn maintenence guys who seemed to go on forever this morning with their weed-eaters, blowers and mowers...for hourrrrrssss it seemed!
EXAMPLE: Wendy's Positive Aspects for:
"Leaf Blower guys"
I'm glad I'm not the one out there mowing and weeding!
It is only for one day a week.
They aren't weed-eating right here in front of my building too long, and when they move on to other buildings it's really not too bad
They are making our property look much nicer
they are making sure the grounds are clean and safe for the residents
Technology is pretty awesome actually...look how far we've come in 50 years
They seem to be going as fast as they can and still do a good job
I appreciate that there are people who enjoy that job
I appreciate that I am able to have my windows open today to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful day
I felt better almost instantly, and know I can always do another list on either the same subject, or different aspect of this subject as I need to. By releasing resistance on a small subject, you INCREASE allowing throughout all areas of your life!
