Everyone has had a hard time doing this. The task of connecting with the positive all of the time isn’t an easy one, especially when the journey itself comes with an envoy of elements that can either build you up or rip you apart. This is because you often end up carrying with you some unpleasant components that should’ve been detached along the way but failed to do so and you are left to deal with them later. If this were a physical activity it would have been easy to handle with remedies. Unfortunately, it’s an activity of the mind that sets off on its own and encumbers your ability to stay centered and sane – i.e. your battle with the negative.
Scenario:
It almost seems as though there’s no way out. Every turn of the eye, body and mind hits a negative brick. You wonder why it has been going on for one, two weeks or even longer. It consumes you and you think to yourself that your spirit isn’t built up for this. You know that you can overcome it but somehow you don’t seem to know how. You read spiritual books but they don’t help. Half of the inspirational self-help books you possess aren’t working either. You ask yourself, “What do I do?” And then add, “This is not me.” But you keep trying, that is, if you’re another subscriber of personal growth. You believe it’s not normal; that your mental state is capable of connecting with the positive. That there’s a way around this disappointment or that pain or that fear. That it has no place in your being. And then you open your eyes, one day, in the wee mornings and that nagging, annoying negative tone jumps at you with full force. But guess what? You snap out of it, just like that. What happened?
Here’s a possible reason.
You took control of it subconsciously or consciously. Connecting with the positive, although in many ways has a lot to do with feeding your mind positive affirmations, requires more than that. It hinges heavily on your ability to take control of that “little thing” of yours called Mind. Your sudden snap out of the negative wasn’t entirely a result of an inspiring book you read, though that could’ve been a catalyst. Instead it was a result of your other voice stepping in to say “Enough” and “Shut it.” You took control of the moment. You exercised the power that You possess. You stood up to your mind and showed her/him who was in control. That she/he could not control you, but instead you controlled her/him. That is the missing element. Many people think that if they keep reading self-help books and feeding positive attributes to themselves that it would do the job. Wrong. Because you learn soon after that it didn’t do the job for the long term, and that you’re back to where you started. It’s about empowering yourself to engage in a dialogue with that negative mind or self or whatever you want to call it. Say the “No” out loud, separate yourself from that “self” and speak to it as though you were speaking to someone else.
It doesn’t end there.
You must remember that you’re a spiritual being and that your mind is intangible. Whatever your spiritual base is, there MUST be an element of inspiration that boosts you, that builds you up, that speaks spiritual truths to you. The key word is “Spiritual Truth” – You are loved. You are chosen. You are lovely. You are special. Just add your own. They’re all true whether you believe them or not. You must feed your mind and soul with spiritual truths and confront the negative with these truths. For example, you can say, “No, because I am (ADD YOUR SPIRITUAL TRUTH).” This needs to be a constant exercise; you must apply yourself and practice it often in order to own that truth.
When you finally experience a real breakthrough you will realize where the secret lay all along. With you.
