You Get to Choose How You Feel Here and Now
Mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health are tied to mindfulness.
Do you want to feel good or bad today? Positive or negative? Empowered or disempowered?
Despite the insanity of the world at large, jobs, families, friends, or any other outside influences, YOU get to choose how you feel. You decide to feel good or bad, strong or weak, empowered or disempowered.
This seems like a lie, doesn’t it? Look at the continued insanity in this election. What’s the deal with this surreal weather? Why is the Israeli/Palestinian thing so messy? Will prices stay high or get more reasonable soon? It’s overwhelming, right? Only if you allow it to be.
It’s all too easy to get caught up in this. Social media is all over bad news. Not just bad news but sad, frustrating, infuriating news. It’s almost like there’s this unspoken challenge to see how angry, sad, or otherwise negative they can make people feel. History says it can go a long way.
When you allow this to affect you, it can be really difficult to see that you are still in control. That’s because if you’re disempowered you cede control. When you cede control, the infamous “they” take as much of it as they can for themselves.
