Your power is in your reaction

Hello and welcome back. I am always grateful to those of you on this journey with me as we work together to improve not only our own personal world but also the world around us.

While we often cannot control what is happening around us, our true power lies within us, in how we process, release and handle the emotions that arise at that point in time. How we react to an event creates energy, be it good, bad or indifferent. This energy you create and send out through your reaction, which is now the frequency your energy is vibrating at, be it anger, fear or calm and so on, will now attract back to you that which is vibrating at the same level.  

Lets say you have someone close to you, and they are now speaking to you with a raised voice, and they are in a negative space or perhaps they are saying comments that are intended to put you down or make you feel small. Please remember only those who are already hurting within themselves or feel small will attack in anyway. They put you down to make themselves feel better or they may see your light and joy and want to drain that energy. In that moment, if you can realise that your non reaction is a way to retain your energy rather than lashing out. Their goal, although most likely unconsciously, is to get a reaction from you. They want you to bite back, they want you to join them on their frequency level where they are currently residing and are unhappy.

The beautiful part is that you have complete control over how you react. By not giving the person or situation a reaction you are retaining your power. If you had reacted, they would feel validated and drained you of your energy.

I am not saying you cannot speak your mind. In fact, I am all for speaking out for truth and for how you feel. It is important to read and intuit each situation carefully. If the situation or person will only continue on their negative path then walk away and process anything you may have taken on board or feel hurt by, but by all means protect yourself first. My advice is do not feed the situation

For the next few weeks, please feel free to pay more attention to your reactions when someone upsets you or says something to try and put you down. Take a deep breath, feel the emotions, listen to your thoughts and then make a choice as to how to handle this. You are extremely powerful, your reactions can speak volumes, your energy is worth protecting.

I wish you much love and light and look forward to the next post.
