Pillosophy of the Day ♥ You are in Control

Have you ever seen a group pf crabs in a barrel? It's quite interesting to watch because while one tries to climb out of the barrel another crab will pull that crab back down to the bottom.  As human beings some of us tend to do the same thing.

For example: You are having your definition of a great day. You feel great from inside out, and you may even have a glow about you. There is always going to be a negative force that will try to disrupt your flow of positive energy.

Now in this exact moment you have the decision to do two things.
1. Deflect
2. Absorb

Usually most of us tend to absorb the surge of negative energy that was harpooned at us and the cycle begins. You are off your center. You start to question the act, you start to question yourself, you take it home, you allow your judgement to be clouded, you may even lash out at an innocent bystander.
Why? If you sit and think about the reason that you have allowed yourself to feel this way, it stems back to the negative catalyst.

So now I will go back to the same scenario and we will choose option 1, Deflect. This option is best, but takes practice to implement. Building a barrier between you and these negative energies is most important. It starts from the moment you wake. Every morning you should practice saying a positive affirmation out loud. Meditate and focus on the positive and pure energies around you. My mother gave me the Desiderata by Max Erhmann in my teen years, and it has been a vital tool for clarity in my life.

Just know, stress is a  toxic force and it will destroy your foundation and your health. Remember you are in control of how people make you feel. People are not in control of you. Be at peace my friends and have a wonderful and healthy life.

♥♥♥ Peace.Love.Clarity
