Positive or negative is a state of mind...

Do you feel light or heavy? Are you weighed down by worries or concerns, do you have a permanent frown, lose focus on others' conversations and think about problems constantly? Or do you feel light, happy and energetic? Which would you rather feel? Both are within your powers of achievement. Even if you have a considerable problem or a terrible memory, it is within your power to decide whether or not to let it into your thoughts. Next time you are suffering from negative thoughts and you feel a heavy weight on your shoulders and a tightness in your chest, actively try to let go. Choose to leave the past or problem behind, free yourself from obsessing about something which isn't quite right. Relinquish your desire to control an outcome which you probably can't anyway, and let yourself feel lightness. You might do this in any number of ways. Try increasing your awareness of when you feel heavy and reminding yourself at those times that if you want it enough you can change your perspective and change your emotions. Try breathing slowly and deeply and give yourself the space to shift your emotions. Attempt to gain distance from the situation physically or otherwise. Ask yourself how you can bring enjoyment to the situation. Positive or negative is truly a state of mind, it is not always easy to make the move from negative to positive but it is always possible. You have the power to do it, the only real question is do you want to enough? If you want to feel lightness, feel happiness and have the energy to live a full and vibrant life, then let go of the baggage that weighs you down. How will it make you feel? I bet it is significantly better than when you feel burdened. Go on, have a go!
