Personal Power - Move Through Challenges With Grace!

Personal Power... dealing with challenges.

Several days ago I wrote about manifesting and the importance of keeping a pure, positive focus no matter what. I wrote that article at about 10 am, and 30 minutes later I was faced with a situation which, to be honest, really got my blood boiling. I am thinking, "I just wrote about keeping a positive focus and here I am getting wrapped up in negativity and anger." Well, we are all human and all have feelings of anger, and so I went with the feelings for a little while, and then I noticed that more and more people were getting on my nerves!

There are two points to this- One, when you want to move through a particular issue in life (such as myself wanting to keep a pure focus), life will happily throw that issue in your face to make sure you can deal with it once and for all. So take these challenges for what they are: practice! Don't get too caught up in your thoughts, and take notice of what is going on. Life is playing with you! So, take a deep breath and do your best. Go with the flow- there is no point in resisting reality or suffering needlessly. Everything is a choice, and you can choose to be annoyed and suffer or you can choose to let it go and focus on something more joyful. Getting caught up in other people's drama and negativity is not an act of personal power, but choosing to act from love and joy is.

The second point is that if you do get caught up in drama and leave your vibration unchecked you will begin to receive more negativity, as that is what you will be attracting through your focus. This was clear to me as I let one person upset me, and then another irritated me, and before I knew it I was just generally cranky (and then I injured my leg, which is very upsetting for a dancer!). Basically, by leaving my vibration unchecked I went on a mini downward spiral. I say "mini" because I really wasn't too miserable, but I have found that the more I focus on keeping my vibration aligned with a higher source, the more I experience negative effects when I don't stay focused on the positive. I don't let myself get too far down in the dumps. It isn't worth it!

If you find yourself facing challenges, make a game out of it! View it as what it is- practice, and don't get attached to the drama. Keep focusing on something pleasant and you will move through life's challenges with ease and fluidity. Act from your point of personal power, the present, by choosing how you feel instead of simply reacting. Accept the situation with grace by finding the good in the situation. Work through and release any negativity that arises from this situation so that you can learn the lesson you wanted to learn and move on.

I laugh at life's challenges. I move through them easily and gracefully, knowing that I am simply practicing living at a higher level! I simply shift my focus to something more positive and notice what I enjoy in life. I choose joy over struggle, love over anger, and acceptance over suffering.
