Put it in neutral

Greetings and well being, life can get in the way constantly, and we can experience a flurry of emotions, anger, frustration, sadness, and the worse, stress and anxiety. When I began practicing deliberate creation I use to force myself to be in a good state of mind, I felt that if I could ignore my negative emotions they would go away, only to suppress them instead, A myth of conscious creation is we must always be on cloud nine to receive the good things in life, this just is not so, we have to deal with our emotions, negative or positive, of course, we can deal with the positive ones, we feel good! When beginning practice of deliberate creation people can fear their negative emotions and then beat themselves up over it, this was me a few years back, I would ''self talk'' to myself about doing everything wrong, not getting it right, and attracting more frustration in the process. Until we experience these negative emotions and learn to release them they'll just keep re-surfacing until we do, we must empty out the old baggage to make room for the new instilled empowered emotions that will serve us to get what we want and practice is paramount. This can be a painful emotional experience at times, but necessary for growth to happen, depending on how many years of baggage we have, it can take considerable time. As I've explained in past posts I've gone through this many times, I've had so many negative issues in my past I could not possibly list all of them here, and many were suppressed and deep rooted, and as painful as it was it was very necessary for my growth and now, let's just say it has been well worth it! I still experience negative emotions yes, but I've learned to feel them, acknowledge the fact that I'm feeling them and yes, they are real, then let them go, that way they won't stick to resurface again, avoiding them will only allow them to re-surface at another time to resolve. We will have good and bad days, it's human nature to experience everything positive and negative, and if we ARE having a bad day we must not be hard on ourselves, it's okay, we must forgive ourselves and move on, no matter the circumstances, it's all about self-forgiveness and appreciating the fact that we are blessed to be alive to experience these things, besides, these things are small potatoes compared to how lucky and gifted we truly are. Life is about experience and growth, but it should be fun too, and when our dominant feelings are,[and they will be], of appreciation and prosperity among others, we'll blast through the walls of negative emotions until experiencing them will be rare instead of the other way around. Through development I've learned a neat trick to cope on my not so good days, and not so bad ones either, and that is to just be neutral, that way I'm not attracting negative outcomes, it's my emotional ''safe zone'' if you will, I tell myself things like it will pass, I've been through worse, it always works out, [and it does too!] or my favorite, ''this is not as big as what I want, so it's not worth my time or energy'', thus, I move on, in my not give a damn, neutral state of mind. There will be times when it's easy to be general about things, and sometimes we need to ride out the intense negative emotions, but even having a neutral feeling about things takes practice, but rest assured it will be effective nonetheless. It's important to remember that no matter what it is, no matter how annoying things or people can be, it's not bigger than us, it's wasted time and energy and really, is it worth giving away our power so we cannot attract all we desire?, I think not! More to come friends.
