Today I’m going to see someone who pushes my buttons in the worst way. Mostly we get along great, but this person has a habit of sometimes saying things that make me ANGRY. I am looking forward to seeing him, but obviously the wariness was simmering away in my subconscious because almost as soon I woke up this morning I started imagining what he might say to me and how I might respond (calmly, succinctly and persuasively, of course). When I sat down to do my meditation this imagined conflict started to permeate my practice (somewhat counterproductive, no?). I realised it was time to remind my brain who’s in charge of this body (i.e. my heart).
According to the law of attraction, even arguments we have
in our heads are going to have an impact on what we manifest into our lives. So
basically, it’s not just spoken words that matter. Not only am I creating
negativity for myself by ruminating on how this person might piss me off, I am
damaging my relationship with him as well by bringing discomfort and an unhappy
energy into our real-life interactions. Not ideal.
To counter this, I said a few affirmations around accepting
people as they are, and asked the angels to help heal our relationship. After that,
I resolved to simply let it go. Whatever happens, happens. But at least I’ll go
into our catch-up with an open heart and a tranquil mind. And that’s worth A
LOT.
