Two of the most powerful forces to counteract the cynicism and negativity we encounter in our world today are love and kindness. When you finish rolling your eyes, hear me out. We just finished the presidential election and we all were bombarded with the negative ads. This low energy washes over us and depletes us. The antidote is love and kindness.
When we start from a place of love and kindness towards ourselves and others, we keep ourselves upbeat, expectant, and positive. We move from being reactionary, which is responding to anything that we encounter in a negative manner, and we live from the higher energy of proactivity. We can respond with kindness when life hands us a challenging moment.
Instead of responding and reacting to every event that we encounter in our daily lives, we can choose to be proactive. We communicate that we expect good things in our lives and will overcome any obstacles or challenges that come our way. We when treat others both friends and strangers with the love and kindness that they deserve, we exhibit that divine energy that we all possess.
Start by trying to be more proactive with yourself, limit the negative self talk and stop beating yourself up. Limit your exposure to negativity whether it is the television, radio, or from your circle of family and friends. Next, start praising yourself and expressing gratitude for every little thing that shows up in your life. Surround yourself with people that empower you, that encourage you, that build you up.
Choose to live in the light. Fill your life with sunshine. Let this sunshine wash over you and embrace you, bask in the light. And shine this light on everyone you encounter.
With Love and Kindness,
