Keep a clear focus. The more you are able to keep a clear focus that is not burdened with doubts and resistance, the more you are creating a clear beam of energy to where you want to go to in life.
I like that…a clear beam of positive energy. When you feel down recognize the feeling so that you can visualize a clear beam of positive thought. Anything that will make you reach for just a little higher thought of vibration. Maybe a movie or a walk, maybe a hug or some fresh air but find something to get you in a better feeling zone. Let go of the resistance and embrace the good feelings…they are right within you at all times just waiting to come out. All you have to do is…open the door.
Remember who you truly are. You are not what you do, you are not what you have, and you are not what others say. You are an unlimited being that is using a physical vessel to experience through. You are an unlimited abundant being who is costumed as someone who has material things. Your are not those things.
We live in a material world and the material is a part of our lives. There’s no question about it but the material is one of the tools to experiencing life as a physical being. When we are able to really look at who we are and not base our life on what we make or what others say, something amazing happens. You feel good about you, you begin listening to the true voice within you, and as you feel more abundant and feel worthy and deserving of life itself and you put less thought into what you don’t have and see what you do have, the byproduct is a happier more fulfilled life with more of the abundant energies of the physical Universe.
I’m saying it once again…it always starts from within you.
Words can be powerful. Each word that you say with feeling and meaning creates a vibration in life. When you say and feel peace, you connect to the peace vibration in everyone in the world that is feeling and thinking the same as you. You are tuning in with others of like mind. Use higher vibration words when you talk about others and about yourself. Use words that make you feel wonderful. Be conscious of the use of negative words as well. If you are feeling down say powerful positive words over and over again and each word will create another step toward joy.
A word doesn’t have any power unless you believe it does. It doesn’t matter if you say ‘I want this’ if you are expressing it from a positive good feeling vibration, but if ‘I want this’ comes from a place of desperation then…desperation is what you will get in some way. What you say to others; your children, your significant other, your family, your friends has a way of being even more powerful if you love them and they love you. It is in the translation of the words that causes a negative or positive vibration. Be clear and think before speaking to another. You may think your words to someone are encouragement while they may feel that you are infringing upon their life. Either way…the aligning of the vibrations begins. What do you want in your life? Be conscious of what you say and how you say it.
If you are about to say something to someone and you’re not sure if you should, get quiet and go within. Ask yourself if what you are about to say will help his own growth. Ask yourself if you are going to be met with resistance from that person if you say it. If he will grow then by all means say something, but if it is only to speak out because you want him to see your way or your opinion then keep quiet. Looking bigger or being the savior is not the motivation to help someone. There is power in speaking if it feels right but there is also power in silence.
Power in silence. I have learned this one well. Many times it is tempting to know and see the clear answer to someone else’s problems but sometimes our clear answer isn’t the same for another. There are times when I get on the phone and have to do my own form of duct tape on the lips to be quiet and just listen. When you listen, you will hear so much more than your opinion. You can hear what is truly happening through the eyes of another. That is when compassion comes in to it all. Feeling pity only creates a vibration of ‘more pity’ and then you become a part of that alignment, but compassion takes you into the eyes of another so that you can understand better about their experience which can actually help you understand your own experience as well. After taking that time to listen, I find that the clear answer for me becomes a much more clear answer for them either through my silence or thoughts.
When someone comes into your world that is saying or doing things that make you feel afraid realize you don’t have to feel that way. You can train your mind to go where you want it to go and not be influenced by others’ fears. If they are telling you how scary the world is, then within your mind replace those thoughts with different words that make you feel safe and wonderful. Use your own mind to cancel the negative you hear from others and substitute them with higher thoughts and vibrations.
The world is full of negative visuals, thoughts, and ideas but it is also full of positive ones. If someone comes into your life that is a naysayer and full of the negative remember that it is your choice whether to allow those thoughts to affect your vibration. Nip it in the bud, right at that moment, and step away from the drama of all the fear that you are hearing. Your positive thoughts are going to do more for you and the world than the negative view. Make a contribution not only to the physical healing of the world but the consciousness of the world. Let’s lift it up to a higher vibration…what do you say? 
Everyone has contrast in their lives, but it is how that contrast is handled dictates if it will affect your life or not. Others that have retrained their minds to stay clear of worry, fear, and anger do so by knowing that nothing can stay within their mind unless they choose it to be there.
We have contrast daily…every single one of us. It is the contrast that shows us who we are, who we want to be, and where we want to go. If contrast about everything you believe comes into your world, remember to go within and find your balance. Don’t ‘buy into’ the vibration of what feels pushed and resistant to your very being. It is when you let go of the resistant, tight feeling of the contrast that you begin to understand how contrast works. From contrast we understand and expand our own consciousness. Observe it, turn it over within your mind, understand, and then choose which direction you want to go…in the direction and alignment of the contrast or in the direction and alignment of a better feeling vibration.
One of the keys to changing life for the positive is to teach your mind to listen to you instead of letting it control you. This means you have to learn how to control your own inner dialogue. Don’t be controlled by the many thoughts that come to mind. Part of your journey is to learn to direct your physical self from within.
When you begin to recognize your inner dialogue and begin to love who you are and release anything that feels as if it doesn’t serve your inner self you will create a higher vibration. That higher vibration puts you into a higher form of thought and changes life.
The words you say and feel about yourself are a wonderful place to start. Keep the words ‘higher vibrations’ within your everyday life. Everything you experience, everyone you encounter, every moment…higher vibration. Just the word alone helps the physical self to step aside and let the inner self do its stuff…higher vibration!
Every experience you have is an experience to learn and grow from. Everything you experience is an opportunity to become more loving and wiser. Everything is for your higher self. Some experiences help you to release or let go of something that you no longer need. And through it all know from the place within your eternal self that you are always loved and that your eternal self always knows what is best for you.
When you can look at your own physical experience through the eyes of the true you, things begin to take on a whole different meaning and light. A negative experience turns into an experience full of colors, contrasts, and answers that you never would have come to without the experience. A positive experience turns into an even greater moment within your life. We come out on the other side of our experiences learning about this world and our own self and our interconnection with everyone around us and the Universe.
It is a perfect orchestration and you are the composer. 
What is wisdom? Wisdom is being able to tell the difference between what signs and messages that you are supposed to pay attention to in life and which ones you should ‘let go’ of. By not making rash decisions based in fear or ego, you will find the true answer that awaits you by listening from within.
It took me a while to understand the difference. Some messages that come into life feel as if they are right at the time but then I began to go ‘within’ before making any kind of decision. When I was able to center and listen, there was a feeling that would tell me if it was me wanting something to go a certain way and I wanted it to be right OR if it was a true feeling of ‘this is right for me.’ I began to let go of the feeling of wanting something to be right and figuring out what truly felt right for me. That is when it became easy to let go of wanting something to happen a certain way. I knew the Universe would take care of the how and that I was to listen to that inner voice that helps guide my life.
You don’t have to go out and find your purpose. Your purpose will come to you when you are ready for it. All that you are experiencing is leading you to your next step to the next purpose. Your purpose doesn’t have to stay the same. It can change and take many forms but the essence of the purpose will remain the same. That is what you came to this world to experience. Your purpose will delight you and feel as if this is what you are to be doing and contributing in life. It could be through parenting, working, writing, helping but whatever it is, it will bring you an amazing feeling from within.
We have a purpose and that is to experience this physical life. We may have a ‘theme’ in our life of where we want to expand our consciousness through, but the form changes from time to time. You are right where you should be right now. You are experiencing what you should in order to be where you want to be. That is a purpose no matter what your job or experiences are. And the next step will be another piece of your puzzle of life. Many purposes fit in puzzle of life.
When you see someone having troubles; don’t think of how you can help or how to respond… but first listen with a quiet mind. You’ll be able to feel what is within the situation and see more clearly without the emotions that come along with troubles. When you do listen from within, step aside from any kind of reaction or judgment you might make and just be still and quiet. The answers are right within you. Maybe you are to say something or maybe you are there to just listen, but you will know for sure when you listen within to your true voice.
I get very excited when I am ‘on a roll.’ If someone is ‘talking my kind of talk’ I get animated and can hardly stand to keep my mouth quiet but then I realize that they are just as excited about what they have to say as I am listening to it so I make a point…to listen. What I have to say can wait until they feel they have made their point and then…watch out! The Beth has then been released! lol
The feelings that you have are reactions that you choose to have. Those feelings are within you and are physical reactions to your own thoughts. You have the choice of what you think and of what you feel.
Isn’t it amazing to think how simple it can be? Where the work comes in is retraining your own mind to focus on adjusting your feelings and reactions to stay in balance so that others and experiences won’t affect your own vibrations. But at the same time, learning to understand the experiences so that you won’t recreate them in your life, moving on to a greater understanding of the self.
What an incredible Universe this is! All our experiences fit together perfectly and we move at our own pace as to where we want to be. But not only that…YOU chose to be here on this physical earth and experience it. Isn’t it a wonderful experience we are having all together?
You don’t have to get rid of or avoid negative thoughts and vibrations. Just think of a higher positive thought and vibration and let it sit side by side with your other thought until the negative becomes smaller and the positive becomes bigger.
There’s something my grandma used to do when I was a child. I think about it now and she was teaching me quite a lesson about running away from our fears. When I was afraid of something she would say, “Are you running away in your mind, Bethie? Cuz if you run away from it, you’re going to have to keep running. How about you stop running and grab it in your hands and just squish it? Face it and see what you can do with it.”
Now I’m sure she wasn’t talking about the many snakes I would find because she ran pretty fast when I picked up one of those, but I do know she was talking about fear. She was telling me to grab hold and shake it, step on it, come to terms with it, and THEN let it go so it would no longer chase me within my mind. Thanks, Grandma. Point well taken.
Recognize the negative and bring a positive vibration to stand right next to it. The negative will get smaller. Keep it up and it will disappear leaving you with the positive feeling vibrations.
When you make an effort to see all the beauty that is in your world and you take those images and focus on them clearly you will begin to see beauty everywhere in your world. Even in places you didn’t see beauty before. Your life experience will be full of beauty.
Beauty is everywhere and when you see the true beauty of your world beauty turns into feelings of love and joy and when you do this every day, making an effort to see the beauty, then your life will become beautiful. Can you believe that is all it takes? Just a shift of focus and using your eyes to create a beautiful vibration. Begin to see the beauty in your life now and then…a beautiful life will follow.
I’m looking at a beautiful cup of coffee right now!
The more that you can understand and learn from an experience you have had, or are having, the more quickly it will leave your life. Each experience is teaching you something about who you are and where you want to go in life. As you learn and understand then the experience will drop away, but if you continue to ignore or hold tight to resistant feelings and thoughts, the experience will come to you in another form until you ‘get it.’
I know, it can seem difficult to look within when you are right in the middle of some kind of crisis, but the more you can step aside from all the drama, the clearer your thoughts will be. And when you find that calm within the storm, you can begin to look at the experience from your inner eyes. Even if you can’t see what you are learning, know that you are and that alone will move you forward. Understand and release… that will get you beyond where you are right now.
Ideas come to our minds all day long. We have so many thoughts each day that we couldn’t possibly act on every single one. If you have an idea that seems like an amazing opportunity and you don’t act upon it don’t beat yourself up over it. Remember that you have your inner voice that may be telling you to wait. If your logical mind is telling you to take the opportunity but your inner self is telling you to wait then the inner self should be listened to because the universe knows the bigger picture and all the future opportunities that may be better for you.
How many times have you had that feeling, “Wait, wait, wait…” and everyone around you is saying, “Do it! Do it! Do it!’ Or how about the other way around? It can be confusing, especially when you have well meaning people around trying to help and guide you. Remember it’s that gut feeling within that can steer you in the right direction for you. Not the fear, the opinions, the worries, or doubts…just the feeling within.
Your eternal self knows. It is fully connected to the Universe at all times. The Universe is showing all the different outcomes that could come about and then the eternal self knows which is best along with the Universe. Your eternal self is your best friend and guide in this physical world. The physical self is a vessel to work through. Listen to the inner self. Would you ask your car to drive without you? You direct your car. Look at the physical self as the car and the ‘you’ that is driving as the eternal self.
They can uplift, balance, attract, neutralize, change, and give positive light to all around you. You can change or become neutral to others thoughts and feelings, and go with the flow of the Universe. Everything in the Universe responds to love and positive vibrations.
Everything…
I am always amazed at the difference in the feel when I let go of a negative moment, word, or thought. I replace the negative with a positive. Immediately I feel lighter and more at peace. Then when you make it second nature, you begin to see a huge difference in everything in life even though to the outer world, nothing has changed but you know…you know within ALL has changed and THOSE vibrations are the ones that will bring to you so much more of the same.
Positive vibrations…now if only we could sell it in a bottle for those who are less than positive, but instead we must allow and accept the fact that they too are creating their life through their own experiences.
Retrain yourself to not respond to negativity in your life, or from others. Do your best to keep your mind and heart open coming from the loving self from within. There are so many people that blame others, speak of how hard life is, and create negative scenarios through their intense negative thoughts and emotions. Retrain your mind to focus on something positive instead of responding to anger or fear.
If there is one feeling that feels heavy, it is the feeling of a negative emotion. You can actually tell from your own body what frustration, anger, and sadness is. It becomes heavier and dragged down and then…maybe you hear a funny joke or a baby’s laughter and you instantly feel just a little better….a little lighter. Then you go about your day and begin to feel how wonderful the sun feels on your shoulders and how beautiful those little birds are in the trees. You instantly feel a little better…and a little lighter. Then as you ‘let go’ of the negative emotion and focus on what feels good in life, the heaviness dissipates and you feel as if you are riding a higher vibration…you feel lighter and better.
Just think…this is how you bring yourself into a better feeling place…you…no one else can do it for you, just you. YOU can be happy and feeling positive and all’s that it takes is a better feeling thought.
Did you know that if you have positive thoughts, but they are equal with your negative thoughts, that you will be creating little or nothing in your life that will change it for the better? The life that you want must be stronger than the negative thoughts. Some want a wonderful abundant life but their negative thoughts create a barrier to that abundant life through fears, doubts, anger, and worry. Each time that you fear you are taking vibrations away from what it is that you are creating in your life. You don’t have to make your negative thoughts wrong, but at least recognize that you are having them and put positive vibrations next to those negative ones so that they are the stronger of the two vibrations.
It was a light bulb moment for me, the day I figured this out.
Lee and I had been doing well in life but we just weren’t where we wanted to be in certain areas. We would focus on “How? Can’t it get better? How are we going to…”. Then one day it clicked. That feeling inside was nudging me to move away from all the thoughts of the how and what-ifs putting me into a grateful place of where I was and positive vibrations of what really could be…it clicked.
From that day forward, I began to reach for the next positive thought, no matter what we were experiencing. That is one of the ways it all changed for us. We kept our positive vibrations much stronger than the puny little negatives knowing that the Universe knew what it was doing. We released the reins of control and let the Universe do its thing…and boy, did it!
No one can drain you unless you let them drain you. You must be clear within your mind that you will not be drained by other people. Know that they must live their own life and take their own responsibility for what is happening in their lives. By stating this and meaning it you are no longer giving permission for someone to give their draining vibrations to you. Send them positive thoughts.
It’s amazing the way we learn and understand through an experience that seems less than positive, but the moment I learned how to create a positive vibration and keep neutral when being around someone who felt draining at first, it changed the whole experience. It became a learning tool that I could apply to life and as I got better and better at it, I noticed that I actually felt invigorated after being around the certain someone. It became a way for me to figure out how to ‘be’ in a negative type atmosphere there by not affecting my own vibration in life.
