5 Ways To Pull Yourself Out of Negativity

There is no doubt that we often fall into a negative mind-set. Maybe you had a bad day at work or you got every red light heading to the grocery store. It happens. It's okay. But remember not to stay down the the well of negativity. There are many ways you can lift yourself back up!

1. Turn To Someone - If you have a loved one that has a similar way of thinking as you do (when you are being positive), then turn to them in your difficult moment. They can help cheer you up and remind you how wonderful it is to be happy and positive. They can also remind you to look on the brighter side of life. There are much worse things than being late to work or dropping your lunch on the ground.

2. Watch a Comedy - It's good for you to smile, it helps the positivity swarm around you, BUT, it's even better if you laugh! Turn towards your favorite comedy movie. Invite a friend over to watch it with you and just laugh away. After it's over, you will feel much better. I promise! 

3. Pick up a Hobby - Unless you already have one you love. Doing something you love and that really brings you joy will help lift your mood back up. Sometimes I pick up a book to read or do arts and crafts. Most of the time, your hobby can be a stress reliever without you even realizing. If your hobby allows you to focus in on what you are doing and forget about the world outside, then that might be exactly what you need! 

4. Sleep - Sometimes when we are feeling down, all we need is a good power nap. After, you might feel so much better and forget about whatever happened that brought you down in the first place.

5. Meditate - Allow yourself to slow down for a moment. Put on some soft music, lay down and close your eyes, and let the music take you away into the area where your true happiness resides, your soul! Meditating has been used for a very long time to re-focus ourselves and has been known to heal. If you never meditated before don't feel like you won't be any good at it. It is very simple. Stay open minded and you can do it!

Solutions and Problems

Pixabay - Larisa-K

Solution - something that is used or done to deal with and end a problem : something that solves a problem. (Merriam-Webster)

Problem - something that is difficult to deal with : something that is a source of trouble, worry, etc : a feeling of not liking or wanting to do something. (Merriam-Webster)

I want you to look at your life as you read this and ask yourself how many problems you have going on right now that need fixing. What do you have happening in your life right now that requires some kind of solution. For example, maybe the problem is that your floor is dirty and the solution is that you need to vacuum or mop.

Some of us are in the process of reprogramming our minds to be more positive. However, if we didn't have these negative feelings and emotions coming over us on a daily basis, then we wouldn't need to program ourselves to think on a more positive level, it would just be that and in turn nothing negative would surround us. Problems would not exist!

Problems only exist because we create them for ourselves. We do not need to have a solution unless we have a problem that needs solving. The real challenge here is creating a problem-free life for yourself. And with that, you need to stop creating solutions ahead of time. Sometimes we let our mind run wild and think well if this happens then I'll just do this to fix it, that seems easy enough! BUT, by doing this, by creating our solution in advance we are asking and putting out energy that is saying "I need a problem to match this solution!" or "I have a solution so where is the problem, I'm ready for it! I prepared myself!".

Instead of doing that. Instead of creating a solution WAY too early or creating the problem at all, know and accept that in this moment of now all is well and taken care of. Everything has it's place and you accept that to be true. When we reach the point of living in our highest potential, our true selves, all will be well. We will not have to worry about anything other than living in the moment and seeing all the beauty in everything. What will exist is our positive energy and that energy will be so magnificent that our desires will come to us faster than we have ever seen because nothing is holding us back. We are no longer holding ourselves back.

All of this goes back to having a negative belief system, negative paradigms. Maybe we are scared or in fear or doubt that something we want won't happen. This creates the problem that requires a solution. So continue to reprogram your mind to be more positive; looking for blessings and the great fortunes that already exist in your life. When your thoughts are positive and healthy, you will feel better. You will begin your path towards your true self, a place where all is well.

Preparedness

Let's Talk Preparedness...

We prepare for parties, holidays, traveling, and vacations. Preparing makes things easier and go smoother. So what do you do to prepare for the next day, the next month or the next storm? What I like to do is carry a picture or a quote, so when I look at it, it instantly calms me down, grounds me and brings me back to a place of peace. When something comes up, I know just what to do before I get carried away in any drama. It can be easy to get carried away in the drama of the world, but it also can be easy to get focused and clear and back to peace. Find something that works for you, whether it be a picture, a quote or a song, an affirmation, etc.

It's not only good to prepare for storms, but also for your everyday lives. Read inspiring books, listen to motivational talks (there are many on YouTube) or say affirmations. I guess what I'm trying to say is, Prepare For Your Happiness! Put some effort into enriching your week, your month, or your year. You Are Worth It! Practice daily routines that feed your soul. Like physical exercise develops strong muscles and good health, mental and spiritual exercises develops a strong attitude and spirit. Prepare and watch your life go smoother.

E2 Experiment #2 - What I focus on...

Have you ever bought/leased a car and as soon as you have it you seen them EVERYWHERE? But beforehand, you never seen them ever! This is because what are minds are focused on, we will bring forth to us. Your mind is so focused on your new car that you are attracting more of the same into your life!

This brings me to my second E2 Experiment! This one is also very simple. It lasts for 48 hours. For the first twenty-four hours, you should pick something to focus on and see how many of that item you see in that day. Then, do the same thing for the next twenty-four hours but change the item for the second day!

First 24 Hours - Any silver vehicle
Second 24 Hours - Dogs

I went with two things that spoke/resonated with me. I'm not sure why silver vehicles talked to me; it was more so the color I think. Something told me to just go with silver, so I did! I've always loved dogs! I have a want list taped next to my bed and on that list is a German Shepherd! I can't wait for that day and know it is closely approaching. Just thinking about it makes me warm and happy inside!

My Results:

Silver Cars - I seen and picked out 8 silver cars in the first day. This may not seem like a lot, but you don't realize how many things just pass you by that you don't pay attention too. It makes me wonder how many times have opportunities been right in front of us to get closer to our desires that we ignored. Hmm.
Dogs - This day, I will admit, my energy was a little out of it. I was tired and not entirely focused. However, I still had a decent outcome of 7 dogs! Not too shabby in my opinion.

This was a fun and exciting experiment to take part in. And like I said in the last post, if you want to try these out then get Pam Grout's book called E Squared! I do not think you will regret it.

E2 Experiment #1 - I am a powerful creator!

I am so excited to share this post with you today! I recently picked up the book E Squared by Pam Grout. (www.pamgrout.com) If you are interested in her books, check out her website! I had come across this book while looking for a new read and passed on it, but then I read a post from someone else who had done the experiments she provides and had success with them. I took that as a sign that I was supposed to get this book and read it!

I am going to share with you my results from every experiment she shares in this book. I will briefly go over the experiment, but ultimately, if you want to try them then I strongly encourage you to get her book!!!

Her first experiment is to prove to ourselves that we really are powerful creators! Very easily, you are supposed to ask for a blessing of any kind. You're supposed to give this blessing 48 hours to come into existence. In those 48 hours, give attention to it and ask for recognition that you were the creator of this blessing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Blessing: 
I decided to ask for a financial blessing. I didn't put a number or amount with it, I just wanted one of any amount! I did something extra for myself to continuously remind me throughout the day to give attention to this financial blessing, which was setting an alarm on my phone every two hours. This helped a lot because one of the days I was working, so it helped bring my attention back to my blessing if I got distracted. 

My Results:  I mentioned before that the first day of doing this experiment I had to work. Arriving home from work, I went to grab a snack which turned out to be a yogurt. Now, we buy the big boxes of yogurt and share them with my in-laws. I noticed that the box of yogurt was almost gone and mentioned that to my husband being that we just bought them a few days ago! He told me it was probably his dad. And I nonchalantly said, "Okay, he can buy the next box then." Before I go any farther, I want to make note that I wasn't complaining that they were gone so quickly at all, just taking note of it. In fact, I didn't have any bad feelings towards it at all!

So, after dinner that same night my father in law asked me how much a box of the yogurt was - I said I'm not sure, $7 or $8. He replied with, "Okay, because I'm going to buy the next box." I immediately turned to my husband and said, "WOW, How is that for creation?!" With the help of my husband pointing it out to me, I realized that this was my financial blessing. It may have only been for a few dollars, but I know that I was the one that created it. There is absolutely no doubt about it! I was so excited and knew this came from doing this experiment!!

With that result, I also felt more blessed for the money that I have and the fact that all my bills are paid and I don't have to worry about them! And, while working I was more grateful and appreciated every sale we had that day! So not only did it make me focus on my blessing, but it made me feel more grateful for what I already had!

So I hope you enjoyed today's post because I was thrilled to share it with you today! I am currently doing her next experiment and when I am done, I will share those results with you as well! In addition, I want you to know that there is a lot more to her book than what I've shared and the experiments. It is a funny, easy read!
