Our main goal is raising our own personal frequency, because the universe returns what you put out there, right? Well, one of the fastest ways we lower our frequency is by feeding into negative situations/emotions that are completely unnecessary. Most of us do this without even thinking about it, something bad or unpleasant happens; whatever the negative interaction. We use our first knee jerk emotional reaction to handle the situation and end up ruining the entire day for ourselves or maybe we dwell on it even longer and get stuck in this pit of low vibration. If this is you listen up, but if you’ve been given tools to not do this, such as the rule of 5s (will this matter in 5mins, 5 days, 5 years), taking a 10 count (step back count to 10 to pass that first instinctive emotional reaction), or anything else good on you and I hope you implement those. For those of you that haven’t learned those or need something more effective here’s my husband’s rule of thumb: is it worth me stabbing someone? Now, that might make some of you giggle, but to us that holds a ton of meaning. Why, you might ask? Let me tell you; my husband is a third striker. What that means exactly is if he is ever charged with another crime the penalty will always be up to life imprisonment. Pretty fucking harsh, right? So when we encounter a situation that we deem of lower frequency the question we ask is, “is this worth stabbing them over?”. What we’re really asking is, is this one negative interaction worth the possibility of being away from the ones I love for the rest of my life? Is it worth losing everything I love? Everything I’ve worked so hard for? Everything that has yet to come? Is it worth my entire future? If not then it can fuck off entirely, we waste no time or energy feeling any type of way about it. Do you have any idea how easy it is to walk away from a situation and then look at it objectively later if you’re staking your entire life on your reaction that moment? The way I deal with negative interactions has changed DRAMATICALLY with having that mindset. Sometimes people are stuck at a negative frequency and they aren’t lashing out at you personally at all they just don’t know how to deal with whatever it is that’s going on in their own life right now and it has literally nothing to do with you other than you’re a nice target at that moment. Shake it off, pray for them to find what they’re looking for, and move on with your life because it’s probably not worth your time or energy. You have this one life, this one amazingly magical life, why waste a single second of it dwelling on that past or worrying about the future? Live for today and plan for tomorrow, but take the time to see the beauty in every moment. Don’t let the negativity that’s out there bring you down, instead be such a bright light that you ignite others. Be a flame of love and understanding that draws people in and bring them up with you. Don’t get stuck on the woulda, coulda, shoulda mindset. Be the best and most genuine you and give that to the world. You attract what you put out there. So before you pull out your switch blade take a step back, take a deep breath, and think is this worth stabbing someone over? I promise 99% of the time it’s not. Lead with love and love will follow you. If you’re not working every day to be the best you, you’re disrespecting everyone that loves you.
