This morning I gave my young roommate a ride to work because he had over slept. The amazing part, to me, was that I wasn't angry or aggravated, I didn't feel the need to lecture or berate him, and I didn't feel sorry for myself always having to be the good girl and be nice. About four weeks ago that is exactly how I would have reacted.
Four weeks ago, I was just as amazed at myself for the negative feelings, not to mention my negative reactions. Just when I think I've tackled the issue(s), shifted, dis-created and re-created that part of me. Then, whoop! There it is! The issue may not look exactly the same, or it may have reduced in size, but there it is to be looked at, if I dare.
Now, on my defense, about four weeks ago the planets were lined up to support just this kind of disturbance. Bless their hearts. And when I "blew up", my daughter literally called me out. I don't know when she became my teacher, she probably always has been, and I am grateful. I promised I'd come home in a better mood. I did and everything changed.
In that state of anger and frustration I had lowered my vibration and was attracting low-vibration situations that only fed that state of being. Those around me lowered their vibration as well and there we all were, swimming in this emotional muck not knowing how to get out (or even wanting to).
So it was a turning point, that "blow up", for me and my daughter. As we shifted into a better understanding, let go of being stuck and stepping out of the illusion, we raised our vibration and allowed higher vibration experiences to come into play. What we learned is that we didn't have to go into the muck to have aha moments. It is possible to get to where it is we say we want to be without wading through the mire, using awareness and practice.
I do not claim to be fully evolved, to have ascended - but I'm working on it. I share these parts of me with you because my story may be your story. The story can be changed - we are making it up as we go anyway - that's the good news!
How does one shift into a higher vibration? Anyway that works for you! Practice not taking things personally. When looking at a situation, ask yourself "what else could be going on?" Decide to feel better. Have you ever been in a heated argument with someone then the phone rings and you answer, sweetly, happily, "Hello?" Practice shifting, call up a better feeling, even if it's just one emotion at a time, up the ladder. Communicate, clearly, from a neutral place, what you want and listen, openly, to responses, without taking them personally. What lifts your spirit? What always seems to put you in a better "mood?" You know what I'm taking about! Then go be amazed!
