Complaining
When a similar message appears again and again in my life, it’s usually a heads-up that it’s time to write about it. This is one of those times! Have you heard the quote “What you think about, you bring about”?
There are 12 Universal Laws that none of us can escape. Obviously one can live successfully five decades (or even their whole life) without knowing what they are, but if you are aware of them, living in accordance with their truths will help you to navigate life with a bit more ease.
The Law of Attraction is the law that has been jumping out at me lately. Usually, people focus on manifesting or co-creating things/situations/jobs/people into their life to make it better. That is a really cool and totally legitimate way to use the Law of Attraction to your benefit. In fact, the book (and the movie) The Secret by Rhonda Byrne is based on the Law of Attraction.
In the last 24 hours, I have come across this lesson from at least a half dozen different sources reminding me to beware of my thoughts and words! A reminder to STOP TALKING hit especially close, as talking is one of my stronger abilities! However, complaining, venting, getting something off your chest BRINGS MORE OF WHATEVER YOU’RE WHINING ABOUT YOUR WAY! Sigh.
Why does the Law of Attraction work this way? Because The Universe doesn’t care about what we think - it speaks the language of vibration. If our vibration is low because we are focused on stuff that brings us down, it brings more of it to us! This is why living in a vibration of love and gratitude is so important.
We feel out of control when our mind gets on an anger-blame-complain loop. The trick to changing our situation is to get control over our mouth, our mind, and our mood. How?
First - stop talking! Venting does the opposite of what we’ve been taught. The more we complain, the more we cement the situation into our brain. It doesn’t matter if we are talking to a person, writing our gripes, or posting them on social media – all of it is making things worse.
Second – wonder why! Why is this a trigger? Start sleuthing into where this anger might have started. Go from inside your head to outside your life looking in and try to figure out where it originated. It’s impossible to be curious and rage at the same time and getting into your creative, curious brain helps you to change your mood.
Third – do something physical! Surprise- you thought I was going to say take a walk? Sometimes that’s not practical, although it’s always a good idea to change scenery if you can. Splash water on your face. Take some deep breaths for a couple minutes. Touch each of your fingertips together. Make a figure-eight around your eyes. This helps get you out of fight or flight mode and helps anchor the new curious thoughts with a calm feeling in your body.
And, if you need help, do not be ashamed to ask for help! Archangel Raphael is a wonderful resource for finding a therapist best suited for our needs. All we must do is ask and receive!
