On the road to all these positive, I have discovered it's not as easy to change as it is to make the declaration. Negativity can come in many forms: sadness, anger, fear, and resentment - just to name a few. Combating these negative emotions takes a lot of practice a lot of retraining. We are accustom to reacting to things in a certain manner and we tend to react from an unconscious state so often we look back and say, "I should have handled that differently."
In order to gain control over our emotions we must become an observer of the man in the mirror. This means you must first be conscious. No more experiencing life eyes wide shut. Before you react to something, observe how you feel. You may notice a pattern of things that get you from zero to 60 in 2.5 seconds. Some of you may even have memories from your childhood that will help you see where these emotions may stem from. Only when you are the observer of your life will ever be able to move beyond your negative triggers.
As you practice being the observer of your life and you find that you still respond negatively quite often, don't beat yourself up about it. Give yourself a pat on the back for being aware of how you feel and where those feelings came from. Rome wasn't built in one day - and neither were your negative habits. They have been brewing for years and picking up steam! Keep practicing a positive life and you will discover the peace you've only dreamed about; that peace will be the foundation of your life. Think of the impact you will have on those around you.
Now that's positive!
Namaste
