So often when we feel upset or down we get drawn into thinking about what is upsetting us even more.
We go over and over it in our minds, trying to work out what it is happening to us and what have we done to create or deserve it.
The problem with this is that it just creates more bad feeling. The more we question it the more answers we come up with to make our selves feel worse! This is especially silly as our mind is very good at picking fault in our selves when it’s not the truth at all.
How about looking at upsetting situations in a new way? How would it feel to believe that situations are put on our way to give us a chance to decide how we would like to feel?
Instead of dwelling on what has upset you, use this opportunity to think – how would I like to be feeling instead? What would be an agreeable solution?
Then focus on that. Thoughts are energy, they get transmitted from our minds into the Universe and then the Universe simply gives us back what we are thinking of…….
So if you are thinking about what you don’t want, what is upsetting you, how you feel bad about yourself, you will simply get more of that back.
Now you don’t want that do you?
So next time you feel down try flipping it around and use the situation as a chance to create how you would like to feel instead. Allow yourself to daydream what it would be like to feel like that? What would you be doing? Saying?
Don’t waste time allowing yourself to go on a downward spiral, flip it around and create something positive instead!
