I hope everyone had an Awesome Monday this week 🙂 Pre-planning and setting intentions has really helped me through some very intense Monday’s lately. Despite the circumstances around you, it is your choice to feel good, to stay positive, and to be awesome. Letting the heaviness pull you down is a giving up, or a giving in. You have a choice. Even at a funeral, even during a heated discussion, even if things don’t quite go according to your plan. Let the emotions move, speak your truth, and stay focused on grounding out any tensions.
Two weeks ago, at a funeral I attended, I let the sadness move. At the same time, I looked for all of the wonderfully awesome things around me to lift me past the sadness. Seeing young teens support each other through grief was beautiful and amazing to witness. Listening to the beautiful stories honoring the young lady were heartwarming, and seeing the community support her family was comforting.
This Monday, during a very heated discussion, I set my boundaries, spoke my truth, and refused to be bullied and manipulated.
Awesome Mondays are all about setting your intentions to stay positive, stay focused, and choose to feel good. This does not mean that you can’t have emotions. Emotions are how we move through our emotional guidance scale. From fear all the way at the bottom, to the highest emotion joy at the very top, we feel our way through the scale raising our vibration to ultimately reach joy.
If we are in depression, the step up is anger. But most people don’t want to see someone angry, they would rather keep them in depression. Depression/fear is lower on the emotional scale, a heavier energy, and is further away from joy. If you are in depression/fear, you must move through anger to get closer to joy.
There will be hiccups, there will be bumps along the road. The idea is to aim for joy every day.
