Imagine!
Can you imagine life full of only good times?
I can’t, because it is in the hard times that I have found the greatest gifts of my life. The contrast that “the hard times” had given me was so valuable. I learned to direct my thoughts towards a higher place and if it were not for the difficult situations I was in I would have never got to use my own emotional guidance system effectively. I thank God for letting me have lower feeling thoughts so I could easily reach for a different more positive place. So, when you are feeling down. Really down! Know that you are emotionally right where you need to be to use the emotional energetic help of your guidance system to get out of your funk. Use every bit of your heart and soul to reach for exactly where you want to be.
When I am now experiencing a challenging situation I am excited to have the opportunity to practice. Yes, I said practice directing my thoughts towards a positive place.
When I am in a real challenging place I would use YouTube to help get me through it. I would use Louise Hay and Abraham (Esther Hicks-find link to the left) and many others to help fill my reality with positive affirming thought. I invite you to try it see just how it can elevate your spirit.
I am a gay Christian I also use prayer to help me get through whatever I am going through.
Two prayers my mom taught me are:
The Serenity Prayer
- God, grant me the serenity,
- To accept the things I cannot change,
- The courage to change the things I can,
- And the wisdom to know the difference.
- The other prayer that has been helpful is from:
The Bible
- Peace be with me,
- Peace be unto me,
- Let not your heart be troubled,
- Nor let it be afraid.
These prayers are short and to the point. There where days when I would repeat them over a hundred times, or until I felt better. Anything I could do to keep my mind from wanting to dwell in my own anguish. The mind is attached to the ego and the ego doesn’t want to give up any control of your thoughts, and the ego is often lying to you. So, practice shifting you energy whenever possible. Eventually it will become second nature.
Love and light,
Phineas
