However, this person clearly wants attention. They are making a point, and they want everyone to hear it. Their desire for attention and validation is so strong, that if your desire for a peaceful and happy evening is not stronger, you may find yourself giving in, tuning into their energy, and becoming upset.
You might say that his person ruined your evening and made you upset, but in truth, dear ones, what is upsetting you deeply is that you have innocently allowed this individual to command and control your attention. They have compelled your focus and, therefore, your vibration! Although you didn’t mean to, you have innocently allowed them to demand that you focus on them, In so doing, you enter the vibration of upset, and you get angry, too.
We know that, at first, it isn’t easy to maintain your connection to love and good feelings when someone around you is strongly negative, nasty, angry, or down. It is easy to feel cheerful when life and the people around you make it easy. It takes much more “mental muscle” to feel good when life and the people around you are not making it easy on you. Nonetheless, the more you practice, the easier it becomes, and the more you take charge of your own vibration.
So, in this example, suppose you start to notice yourself becoming upset at this individual’s ranting. In the moment you notice, you have a choice. Do I want to let this person command my attention, or do I want to choose how I focus? You might have to get a little creative. You might look at your food and comment about the delicious dinner. You might take a moment to give thanks that you are having a better evening than this poor soul. You might even make a little joke that this person never learned to use their “inside voice.”
If you’re feeling very connected with love, you might even stop your conversation to have a moment of prayer for this person or to imagine them surrounded by soothing light. As you can see, there are many more options available than simply allowing them to ruin your evening.
A tougher example is when you watch someone you care about, who is not making the healthiest and happines choices. They command your attention quite innocently because you love them. You want them to be happy and healthy and to know they are loved. Nonetheless, dear ones, you cannot control another person’s point of focus any more than they can control yours.
You can, however, raise your own vibration. You can permit yourself to enjoy life even before they are able to do so. In a vibration of caring for yourself and permitting yourself to be happy, the most loving words will flow through you to them, and the most inspired and truly helpful actions will arise from within.
So, rather than worrying about “taking on” energy or “polluting” someone else’s space, begin to think in terms of tuning. The strongest energy in the room usually commands your attention, but once you realize it is your attention to choose, you can start to choose love more often. You can choose to turn away from bad behavior.
You can choose to witness the good in another as surely as a parent knows the good in their child even when the child is not exhibiting good behavior.
You are the masters of your own tuning, and even the most negative, nasty, and upsetting individuals do not have the power to control your mind if you don’t let them.
Practice, dear ones, makes it so much easier to choose your own point of focus, one better feeling thought at a time. In making one small choice to focus on anything that soothes…one small moment at a time, you are learning to take back your God-given right to choose your focus, and to feel the love that is always around you, even when others are not making it easy.
We know your world is riled up right now. It won’t remain that way forever. However, it is a good time to practice taking control of your own thoughts, your own focus, and your own feelings, because even with the angry energies flying around you, you have the capacity to be in the world but not of it, and to live in your own happy reality, no matter what others choose.
God Bless You! We love you so very much.
