Taking Back Control

We all realise by now that our energy follows our attention and if we are feeling scattered or tired or overwhelmed, we need to take a look at where our attention is really focused.

In the previous post I talked about some of the things I unconsciously and consciously did to begin taking back control of where I was “spending” my energy.

It really helped me to think about myself in terms

of where I was choosing to “spend” myself.

If you think about yourself as a resource (like money or water or clean air for example) it can help you get a bit of a handle on how important it is to take good care of yourself and do things that will not deplete your mind, your body or your spirit. That being said, sometimes we just have to get involved with stuff that is going to wear us out, drag us down or put pressure on even the most positive intentions we might hold for ourselves.

It’s in times like these that a few reminders are useful and I’ve listed a few of the things that work for me below.

First, I meditate every single day.

  • This is such a gift in my life and although I say I do it everyday, it’s not always an amazing experience filled with joy and insight.
  • However, it is always regenerative to my mind, my body and most certainly my spirit.
  • I highly recommend it to you.

Secondly, I severely limit my exposure to stuff that I know is going to fill my mind and my sense of wellbeing will negativity.

  • That includs a daily dose of “news” from the television, radio and newspapers. I generally find that I can keep up with the big ‘news’ without immersing myself in it every day.
  • Recently I fell into the habit of watching the evening news every day and after only about a week I found myself feeling very different. My anxiety levels were higher, my frustration with politicians was higher, my fear levels…. you get the picture. I’m breaking that habit right away because I can see clearly that this is NOT serving me well and I just know that my level of resonace was dropping towards fear instead of hovering around Love.

Finally, cultivating a level of awareness about yourself is a vital tool in your journey towards taking back control of your attention, where your energy goes and what vibration (energy pattern) you wish to send out into the world.

  • I look upon my level of vibration as my energy signature – it tells the world and the universe who I am, how I am and what it is I wish to experience in my reality.
  • The stuff in the papers, magazines and on the TV is usually exactly NOT what I want to experience or to share with anyone I love.

Meditation, awareness and exercising your right to choose where you give your attention will help you create a new reality, a new resonance for your life. How creative can you be? How much difference can you make to your world? How much richer can your life become as you consciously choose to lift your body, mind and spirit as high as you can.

Many blessings to you and those you love.
