I find it challenging at times to go to the grocery store and hear nothing but disease messages like “did you get your flu shot”? It’s “cold and flu season again” (no such thing, literally). Or how about “you have a ____% chance of dying of breast cancer (yet statistically you have a much greater likelihood of never getting the disease in the first place, what about this?)
Do you notice that fear, fear, fear, is blasting all too often over the airways? Not to put my head in the sand, but walking about worrying about dying is no way to live.
Looking for your personal power?… here’s a hint – it’s an inside job!
“We all sit around in a circle and suppose while the secret sits in the the center and knows” ~ Robert Frost
Since I stopped believing in a “cold and flu” season I rarely “catch” one. If I’m stressed or tired and then feel symptoms coming on, virtually always, if I get a good nights sleep, meditate and relax, by the next day they are gone. Do not underestimate the power of belief. Fear is simply faith in what you do not want, generally speaking. I’m focusing my attention on peace as what you focus on expands. There are several paths that lead to peace, but ultimately, you can only truly find it from the inside out. Since the world can’t give it, the world can’t take it away.
Here are a few tips that can be useful:
1. Make it your business to keep your attention off of distractions that scare the joy out of you. If you can’t change it, why waste your attention worrying about it? Change what you can, and leave the details to the Universe.
2. Set your intention daily to focus on what is true, lovely and life-giving. Here’s an apparently novel idea these days: focus on health instead of disease.
3. Give thanks and gratitude for whatever is working in your life. I bet if you simply look to your left, right or into the mirror in front of you to notice that you actually have eyes to see yourself with, you can find something to appreciate today!
Empowerment will only be found when you stop looking for love in all the wrong places. You are already enough – the world will only distract you from this truth. Go within or you will go with out(er). ~Hint: outer may not be in your best interest! What do you think?
