Let’s face it, no one can be positive 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year; and that’s absolutely okay…
The law of nature doesn’t support constant thriving. Every season has a purpose. Sowing the seeds, growing, harvesting, withering, and then the process is repeated all over again.
Similarly, no one has the mental capacity to be cheerful all day long and on all days. We all have our individual graphs that can go up and down or remain static for days. No matter how much effort we pour into our days to be in a high life state and elevated vibration, there will be challenges and moments when we would be drained and overwhelmed. The day ends eventually and there is time allocated for us to rest, recharge, and renew. However, we often disregard it and keep exploiting our bodies and just refuse to rest, and that can seem okay for a while but when it becomes a routine it starts affecting us.
As per the universal law, every inhale is balanced with an exhale. This is because we need to give and receive in equal measure. Try holding your breath longer, and you will start feeling uneasy because the balance will be disturbed. When nature and its laws are so simple, why do we complicate our lives by defying them?
We know we need rest, yet we challenge the law by staying awake till late at night or at times all night. We know that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, yet we continue to ignore our body’s needs, and eventually, our body starts ignoring us.
Everything that we are experiencing is because of the seeds sown by us. Then why are we so surprised and upset when all this catches up with us?
Let’s come back to why no one can stay positive at all times. That’s because there is a process and timeline for everything. Even the moon transitions and undergoes different phases over several days. Even the sun goes down every evening. So how can we aspire to be constantly at our best without giving ourselves ample time to process, release, heal, and energize.
Instead of fighting the phase we are in, it’s ideal to embrace it and adapt. The idea is to be aware of what we are going through and deal with it to the best of our ability. However, we must be mindful of the possibility that our best effort may vary from someone else’s. No comparison is necessary here. We all are at different levels and have different lessons to partake in. No two experiences will ever be the same so it’s unfair to look up to anyone or look down upon anyone.
I have been into spiritual practices and energy healing for over 15 years and yet I experience mood swings with the different phases of the moon, wherein during the full moon I often release suppressed emotions or pain that needs attention and healing.
As long as we are alive, the process of growing and healing will continue and the graph will go up and down. Our happiness quotient will waver occasionally, and so will our ability to be loving and kind. One day we may feel like adopting a pet and another day we may wish to be left all alone. All these fluctuations are normal and necessary.
While we cannot control our mood, emotions, and thoughts, we can certainly limit their influence on our life. By consciously focusing on positive and uplifting thoughts, we can ensure that majority of our emotions are high vibrational. It is possible to influence our circumstances by the energy we bring to any situation. Our energy is generated by the quality of our thoughts. Our thoughts are mostly a product of the content we consume and the company we keep, along with our conditioning and belief system. The more we work on improving the quality of our thoughts, the more easily we can transform our life conditions.
Learning to exist in a high vibrational state is neither impossible nor a one-time thing. Experiencing this bliss once doesn’t guarantee that we will continue to live in this joyful state. A lot of consistency in efforts is required to maintain consistency in one’s state of mind and stability in emotions. Until this consistency is achieved, we often struggle to maintain a positive outlook, but it’s all a part of the process so we should not beat ourselves up over it.
As long as we are a little better than we were yesterday, we have every reason to be proud and optimistic. As long as we have a life force within us, we have hope.
Once we have learned to be present, and be more aware, we start living consciously. It doesn’t matter where in our journey we stand. What matters is to be fully present for each experience. Acknowledging the small things, taking responsibility, and accepting what is.
When we accept things as they are, without trying to mask or justify them, we truly understand human nature. Every emotion negative or positive is real. As long as we stay committed to being authentic, and not being dishonest to ourselves, we are taking responsibility. By taking responsibility we know exactly where we stand. When we know exactly where we stand, we know how far we need to go. It just makes the calculation much simpler without complicating our life.
Let’s vow to at least be honest to ourselves. As long as we are truly acknowledging our thoughts and feelings, we will be able to suitably address them. Acknowledging is the first step, addressing comes next. The rest of the journey follows from here or rather flows if we let it.
The journey to self never stops,
though it could entail a few hops.
Stop judging your vehicle or its pace,
just live happily in the current phase.
When you find that keeping faith is tough,
just go with the flow and that’s enough.
