Greetings,
Don't let the challenge get you down.
Every day takes a new commitment to free ourselves from the negativity that usually control us.
It feels like an ongoing battle. Our culture is so steeped in negative drama it takes a lot of sense to stay calm. It takes that intelligent and mindful observer to be constantly and consistently re-centering you into logic and away from fear.
It's taken your whole life to create the framework from which you see and speak about the world to yourself, and it's going to take some commitment, cleverness, courage, and consistency to change it. Although it takes a massive commitment on your part it's an incredibly worthy effort.
It takes work to be happy and it's easy to be negative and depressed. Our default system is negative and we need to change it to positive. Whenever we lose consciousness we go into negativity because it's what we know best. Right now most of our default systems are fearful and pessimistic.
We want to change it so that your default system is positive. Can you imagine going to bed at night, and you're mind just keeps babbling about how amazing tomorrow is going to be? What if that was your default system? What if when you're alone you fall into creative positive imagination and gratitude, instead of worry?
To what degree this can happen is individual, but from my experience I never imagined it could change so dramatically for the better. It took a lot of time but it worked. I was a total neurotic and negative basket case most my life and things are very different now.
You have to trust this path. Instant gratification is not the marker of success and these new perspectives take time to establish. You are rewriting your script for the future. The feelings you have now are the result of your past, so your future feelings are going to be the result of the present.
Or more accurately, the way you experience your feelings now is what will create how you will experience them in the future. So managing our present moment feelings in a skillful way is setting the stage for this to happen more often and naturally in the future.
It's an investment; but what could be more worthy than an investment that has the potential to enhance every aspect of your life and help you feel better overall about absolutely everything?
Don't believe your discouragement and hang in there. We are doing this together, and from the feedback I am getting this is making a real difference. You are supported by everyone's intention for you. The stories I am receiving are beautiful and you are part of a huge wave of loving and conscious people attempting to shift our world. Thank you so much for being a part of this and for supporting our world with your spirit and heart.
Please continue to take your 5 or 10 minutes today to meditate or check in with yourself and let go of the complaining mind. Gratitude is always an answer and the perfect practice. I am back in the saddle after needing to catch up on life, and there is a lot more to come!
Peace to you!
Bryan
