I’m going to remember this (nice intention, huh?) next time someone’s getting “hot” with me.

It is about finding the positive intent that is part of the negative. For instance, we may diffuse our own frustration with our children or other family member when they act out because we can notice that the "reason" behind it stems from something positive. How many times is a conflict escalated due to our reaction to someone else's reaction? So, when we realize that the reason we are frustrated with our child's temper is because we value the contentment of things going smoothly, peacefully or quietly... we see that the negative emotion (frustration) wouldn't be there if we didn't care about something positive. In addition, we may see that our child is having a temper because of something THEY value that is positive (uninterrupted play time, exploring their magical world, a full belly, etc). What about an argument with someone? Naturally both individuals have something of meaning, value and importance that is causing them to feel strongly enough to express or act negatively- or that some positive value is not being met. Instead of another's words hurting us, we can actually "hear" the love or beneficial meaing behind it. I'm not saying it is okay for others to act out or hurt us, however, how we allow it to affect our emotions- positive or negative can teach us something about ourselves. Otherwise it would not even be on our radar. If we feel strongly about it, than there is something positive to look for. Thanks everyone for such great comments!! I really enjoy reading everyone's input and perspective. It is so wonderful!

Reading this post made a light bulb go up in me, how far I have come with managing my emotions. If we use Abrahams emotional scale, my dominant emotions less than a 1 year ago was still on the lower end of the scale ranging between frustration, anger, anxiety, fear and despair. Now, my dominant emotions have definitely shifted to the upper end of the scale, ranging from joy, enthusiasm, happiness and boredom and irritation. I am quite happy to say that the most negative emotions I feel now are boredom and a mild irritation in mundane life, but I think I have overcome those heavy duty negative feelings of fear, despair and anger. Whenever old thought pattern appear and those all too familiar negative feelings creep up again, I catch myself so fast and release those bad feelings with such a relief. Its really great. I think we all can manage our emotions, but its a process and takes some time, especially if we have been conditioned to think and be so negative for so many years. It takes practise (Pray Rain Journaling is a great and fun way to practise cultivating good vibes) but its so good to see the results in ourselves.

Kudos to you for having the awareness and the courage to do it different than before. That's what it's all about. Thanks for reading, and for posting, Jennie! :) It DOES get easier, doesn’t it, Jennie?

I've been asking myself about this dilemma daily lately. I come up against fear and realize that I would not like to manifest more of it in my life so fight against it. My Rosen Method practitioner says that when I face my fear or sadness head-on she can feel the space for relief and release in my body. So, I'm taking a new approach, facing these uncomfortable emotions so I can move on to bigger and better things. They come back, but I just greet them again and the process gets easier.

I don’t know if it was a result of the personal development work I’d been reading and doing on myself in the interim, or if I was guided by angels who were tired of seeing me suffer (ha), or if I just plain got tired of doing it the old way … I don’t really know!

But I’m grateful! Whatever brought it on, I’m grateful.

I wish I could tell you more specifically so it could be replicated, but I simply don’t know.

Maybe I’ll ask for that answer and if I get one I’ll share it here when I do. :)

Thanks for posting, Amy!

What do you think kept you "down" for so long before? What happened that made you realize it could be easier, and then worked the first time you tried it? I'd love to be able to do this with my anxiety/panic issues. Fantastic progress!
