What to Do When You Face Unwanted Situations

People face unwanted situations from time to time. That is how the universe works.

Most people get caught in the contrast and relive it again and again. Contrasts are useful because they help you understand what you really want. The contrast when continued however keeps the energy of the contrast alive and active in your life. This is self-defeating because what you really want is not the contrast but something else. You must change the energy of the contrast so that you can experience the reality you want, and not the one that is being offered to you. Here are some simple steps that will help you change the energy you are flowing.

1. Recognize the situation as it hits you. This is the space when outside conditions are making themselves known to you and external forces are playing games with your life.

2. Understand that what is happening is not the truth. It is a creation of your consciousness the way it is/was.

3. Stop reacting as reacting only makes things worse. Suspend feeling strong emotions because emotions are what fuel creation.

4. Change your consciousness. Work on changing your mind.

5. Get empowered.

6. If there are other connected situations that are happening in your life, understand the common thread between them so that when you change one vibe, you can change more than just this current situation.

7. Find out what you really want. What would you like to see happen?

8. Spend some time feeling good about what you really want to see happen. This is the energy of Joyful Manifestation.

9. Take skillful action without putting emotion behind it. Skillful action produces good results when the time comes for you to reap the happy fruits of your thoughts, words and actions.

When unwanted situations happen, it is important to suspend all reactions after you have your initial bout of reacting to the situation. Get into the space of calm and peace because that is where you have energy that is still and from which you can create your dreams. Leave behind the energy of what you don't want to see happen, and get into the energy of Joyful Manifestation because staying in the energy of the contrast and continuing to react to it will only perpetuate your reality.

Your reality is constantly being formed and your active participation is required to make it a good one. It changes as you change your mind.

Happy Manifesting!
Love and Light
