10 Steps To Bring Positive Energy Into Your Life
Whether we
are aware of it or not, we are all capable of holding onto things and most of
us are always searching for ways to bring positive energy into our lives.
These
things take up a lot of space, creating obstacles and distractions. They also
consume a lot of our very precious energy. Mess, no matter what form it takes,
is all encompassing. It is multi-layered and heavy. Emotionally, we can clutter
our minds with negative thoughts. Spiritually, we can clutter up our hearts and
souls with emotional debris. Physically, we can fill our bodies with unhealthy
food that weighs us down and often we extend mess and clutter into
our homes.
How can we
live a peaceful existence if our lives are a mess? How can we find our life’s
purpose if we can’t see our way forward?
It is
liberating, empowering and uplifting to sort through all of our mess and clean
it up. It frees us from the heaviness that accompanies clutter and allows us to
see clearly. Mess, no matter what form it takes, is all encompassing. It is
multi-layered and heavy.According to feng shui principles, mess,
disorganisation and overwhelm are thought to create blockages and stagnant
energy. Devoting the time and energy into organising your life enables greater
productivity.
The
following 10 steps will bring positive energy into your life instantly and will
open up pathways, clear out blockages and enable the potential for anything.
1. Clear out your mind
The mind
often repeats the same thoughts over and over again. If they are positive
thoughts, that is fantastic, but more often than not, if you are feeling
overwhelmed, those thoughts are negative ones causing us to continually rehash
over the difficulties we may be experiencing. Your thoughts create your
reality, so STOP and identify your thoughts. What are you filling your mind
with? Just as your thoughts can escalate stress, they can also relieve
stress.
2. Clean out your body
Our bodies
are quite resilient but at some stage if we disrespect them too much, they will
let us know. If you feel heavy, bloated and unhealthy, it is vital to take
stock of what you are consuming. Unhealthy diets laden with too much sugar,
salt and unhealthy fats have led us to an obesity crisis. If you are feeling
physically weighed down, there is no time like the present to clean up
your diet. If you are confused about what to eat and when to eat it, consider
scrapping dieting and instead opt for eating healthy food instead. Acknowledge
that your body must go the distance and you must nurture, support and maintain
it so it functions at it’s best. Be sure to treat it with the respect it
deserves. You will be rewarded with better health and more energy and
that in itself is one of the greatest gifts in life.
3. Spring clean your soul
If your
soul is depleted due to life’s sometimes overwhelming challenges, it is often
the case that it is difficult to see the good in any situation. Take the
time to spring clean your soul. Let go of anything that no longer serves
you, like anger, resentment, jealousy, sadness, guilt, let it go. Don’t
see challenges as bad luck, instead ask yourself what you can learn from the
experience. There is always a gift even in the most difficult of circumstances.
Take time
out to find your passion. If you have a dream, plan the course of its journey.
Be bold and brave. Get back to nature. Spend time with the people you love and
who lift you up. Rest. Practice gratitude
There are
so many ways to fire up your soul. Be THANKFUL that you can change your life’s
course in a heartbeat, because if you think about it- YOU CAN.
4. Create a harmonious living environment
Your home
is your safe haven. Creating a more peaceful, organised living
space will restore balance and allow the positive energy to flow gently
back into your world. Once you have cleaned up and have cleared out the
clutter, take the time to warm up your space. Bring in some scented
candles, flowers, plants and display precious beautiful photos. It is magical
when you replace clutter with elements that will allow you to experience the
feeling of a new beginning.
5. Focus on what you have
Most of us
are continuously focusing on all that we want and not what we already have. It
is vital to set positive goals and strive for a better future, but before you
do this, ask yourself, “When was the last time I stopped and said thank you for
all that is currently in my life?”
Now is the
perfect time to count your blessings. Giving thanks will open the floodgates to
the universal stream of goodness.
6. Soften your focus
If you
choose to soften your focus, you will find life’s journey will be much gentler.
Focusing softly and taking a calm gentle approach towards every situation
before reacting allows you time to evaluate the event. Shifting your vision to
be more emotionally intelligent, empathetic and caring will open up a whole new
level of mindfulness.
7. Set boundaries
Set
boundaries for friends, family members and even work colleagues. Email,
social media and texting allows a continuous lifeline to people. We seem to be
available 24/7 to everyone. Prioritise your time and do not allow anyone to
drain your energy unnecessarily.
8. Pace yourself
Often when
you feel overloaded, just taking a break for an hour or two will give you the
energy to refocus. You deserve time out to rest and recharge.
9. Be responsible for your life
You are
completely responsible for your life as well as the choices you make. The
sooner you accept that, the sooner your life will change. Organising our lives,
clearing up the mess, acknowledging past failures, changing our attitude,
shifting our vision, these are positive life changing actions that will change
our energy and bring clarity into our lives. You have the power to change any
situation in your life right now.
10. Embrace each new day with purpose
Just as
the world continues to turn, a new day brings endless opportunities. A new day
generates renewed energy and hope so choose how you will respond to the
days events by welcoming each new day with optimism.
It is
vital to acknowledge the mess in your life no matter what form it takes and
then embrace change. Take those all important steps to free yourself from
its limitations. Stop thinking of clearing it out as a tremendous overwhelming
task and instead see it as one of the most vital self improvement tactics you
can possibly do.
Clean up
and clear out what no longer serves you. Don’t let a little mess stop you from
receiving and feeling life’s goodness. Remove all those things that are
blocking your view and just let the light come flooding back into your life.
