When we dwell on the past and feel bad thinking about what could have happened, we miss out on essential growth opportunities that will only manifest themselves in the here and now. All we have is each moment. Past and future do not exist as we have been taught for the duration of our waking lives, and staying in the present is quite challenging skill to master.
Our energy flows beautifully when we focus on each precious second and all of the possibilities that we have to capitalize on.
1. Do not Empower Negative Energy
Re-evaluation of negative situations can bring us day to day happiness. People refer to this as “killing with kindness” and we have the ability to drown out negativity with our own genuine actions towards others. Remember, “Don’t get upset with people or situations. Both are powerless without your reaction.” Negative responses to negative situations will bring more negative aspects to your existence. Focus on the positive aspects of every situation and you will be surrounded by positive outcomes.
2. Stay in the here and now
Our energy is most powerful when we flow like water. The natural flow of our spirit is not confined to a linear timeline, and it is vital that we realize the fact that time is but a construct that humans created. We were never meant to feel like time is running out because all we ever have is a single moment at any given time. Be here and act now!
3. Empathize
If we can begin to understand that people are negative because of situations that they keep hidden from the world, we can see that people are usually hurting in some way due to unknown circumstances. We humans need to always try to understand a situation before we respond negatively. Remember, there are way too many people in the world that need our help, and negativity might just be someone begging for you to reach out and touch them. We exist for the bigger picture, and we are all in this together.
4. Spiritual practice
Any number of spiritual practices can help you develop in your spiritual process. A few include meditation, balancing your chakras, and prayer. The more we develop our innate spirituality, the easier these things will become.
