Musings

I have come to believe that emotions are like muscles.ย  They can be stiffened or stretched–formed into strong, flexible configurations, or atrophied into negative, limited patterns.ย  In the past, I’ve always been shocked by how positive thought seems like a laughable farce when I’m deeply entrenched in negativity.ย  And then when I move out of negativity into positivity, I’ve always been surprised by how trivial and irrelevant the negativity felt.

But now, it doesn’t catch me by surprise.ย  When I’m negative, I work on massaging my emotions until they release and relax, because I now have faith in my ability to be positive.ย  Within the moment, the illusion of negativity makes it seem like an all-encompassing force, but time and experience have proven it’s anything but.

  3. I totally agree with your primary theme, and you made me laugh out loud with your silent blessing. What to do if I already have Amazon set up to benefit a local charity for the homeless and poor? If I changed my designation to gain your blessing, would I be struck by lightning for making a selfish choice?

  4. Good morning!
    You have understood one great thing: our minds and bodies function in the pretty much same way. Great choice of words: massage, relax, stretch, atrophy…. it really does work once we start separate the two. We feel (in our body) what we think (in our mind).
    Have a good weekend

  6. Negativity tires me, I can understand why people going through depression lack the energy to do anything. When I’m feeling down, I massage my emotions with a brisk walk. It helps clear my head of the negative and sends my thoughts somewhere more positive.

    1. Good way to do it! I read somewhere that looking at the horizon is good for the brain.

  7. Yes! I’ve been finding the same thing lately. Your musings tend to give me a reminder when I veer towards negativity. ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ˜Š
