I’ve had several experiences over the past couple of days that have elicited very different feelings from me. 

Half were interactions that triggered a lot of negative-type feelings and left me drained, and the other half left me feeling refreshed, appreciated and high energy.

There’s the obvious – and I believe the most important – energetic “work” that I get to do for both types of feelings; letting myself have what I have (or feel what I feel) and then “taking it to the body” and doing some central channel breathing.

It’s also giving me time to reflect on what – or whom – I enjoy having in my life and how to set clear boundaries moving forward.

I love how when Marianne Williamson teaches A Course in Miracles, she reminds us that sometimes Love says no. Which to me, part of that is being able to set boundaries. 

If I continue to be around people who disrespect me, who don’t value my time – or theirs, that’s on me. Yes, they are there FOR me – and yes we are all One – however, I can choose to get the lesson, use it, grow from it and then not continue to go back for more.

So I breathe, thank them for their gift – the opportunity to check myself, see where I need to grow and to do the energetic work so it doesn’t continue to show up for me – and then I smile.

Instead of focusing my energy on what’s not working – what’s triggering me – and allowing myself to get caught up in the stories I’m making up around it, I’m choosing to focus my energy and attention on what IS working and what I want more of – the beautiful and refreshing experiences; the kind, thoughtful and appreciative people in my world. 

Notice how you feel in the presence of those people – energetically and vibrationally. Then, in your mind (or out loud) exclaim, “More like that! More like that!”  and let your heart ooze with gratitude for those blessings.
