As I was meditating one day, it dawned on me that I have been dwelling on a lot of negatives the past year. My mind has been busy exploring the intricacies of something that is perceived to be bad. I almost made hasty decisions in the process and risked falling into the traps of irrationality.
This is a good realization and I think I should do something about it. From now on, I will try, not to move away from the negative, rather, trek towards the positive.
A writer once said that when you move towards a positive influence, your focus becomes the positive. All your energy will be on that positive influence. You’ll move away from any negative influence by default - so you needn’t expend any energy towards the negative whatsoever. Plus, you’ll be moving in a clear direction towards your desired outcome instead of simply moving away from something you no longer desire.
This is different when you move away from a negative influence where your focus remains on the negative. You’ll still give it energy because you’re still focused on it, even though your intent is to move away from it. What that ultimately means is that no matter what direction you move away from it (and it can be hard to tell what direction you’re going in if you’re not looking where you’re going) or how far away you move from it, that negative influence will remain because you continue to focus on it, using it as a measure of your progress.
I hope, and pray, that my aura this year will be brighter!
