Energy play, it affects our every waking moment whether your aware of it or not. One minute your all smiles and before you know it your feeling sad, depressed, angry, aggravated, or indifferent. On the same token you may have experienced a few of the negative feelings mentioned above and suddenly feel happy, positive, energetic, focused, determined, content, creative, or successful. Why do we experience emotions in a variety of ways throughout our daily existence, it’s all about the way we perceive the situations that we encounter, in other words, “we create our own reality”. Do not for one second doubt that our energy thoughts do not manifest what we experience in life. Positive thinking allows us to manifest what we desire most, our goals, ambitions, dreams and successes however negative thinking will attract less desirable consequences. Easier said than done you say, ok think for one second about a time when you may have been thinking about your current financial situation. What are you feeling, were you worried, fearful, anxious, desperate, unmotivated… all these emotions and feelings are thought process manifestations. What we think we become. Fear can be equated to the following acronym: False Evidence Against Reality, our thoughts are what makes fear real to us. Fear is a choice that  which our thoughts manifest however when finding ourselves in a possible dangerous situation  fear can evoke  a legitimate ingrained  biological response otherwise known as “fight or flight”. Ok,back to your finances. Your down on your luck,not enough to pay the bills for one reason or the other however you think to yourself, I am going to find that job that suits me makes me happy and provides all of my needs. I am going to have an abundance of resources that will allow me to share with others.I am talented, qualified,ambitious, gifted and have what it takes to succeed. See the difference in the thought process? Fearful negative emotions and feelings provoke a self-defeating mentality. Thoughts Have Power… Attract what you deserve!

     Now to external energy that can have an effect on us. Going to be such a great day at work, I am up, had my coffee and ready to get it done… what a beautiful day not a cloud in the sky, birds are singing, life is good. Hang on….wait for it…. You happily walk through those doors into your workplace, you overhear the  boss telling a co-worker that the department is not performing up to company expectations and layoffs are possible, your co-worker approaches you and said did you hear that there may be layoffs wonder who will be first to go. Next, the secretary in the office adjacent to yours rushes past you and knocks your coffee accidentally out of your hand and screams at you for not leaving her enough room in the hallway to get past you. Your cell phone suddenly rings, your car mechanic on the other end of the phone tells you that the part needed to fix your car will not be available for at least another week. Your happy-go-lucky mood just went South.This my friends is external energy at play… all of the above mentioned were circumstances beyond your control. Not your energy to own, don’t get sucked in to that which you cannot control. Oh but how many times per day do we let external energy affect us? I can’t emphasize enough how our thoughts as well as external energy forces can keep us in such turmoil. The secret is to try to stay positive as much as humanly possible and do not let situations that are out of your control dictate your feelings and emotions. Listed are a few practices that can positively affect your life. Live in the moment, meditate, speak self-affirming affirmations, truly love yourself, don’t own energy that you have no control over and above all realize you are not alone there are others in this world who are experiencing the exact situation and circumstance as you. Blessings.
