“You will not be able to solve anything outside until you own how the situation affects you inside.” – Micheal A Singer

One of the keys to health and healing that is often overlooked is how important the mind is.

People will often change their nutrition and exercise routine, but forget to do the most important work …

The work on their inner self.

I wrote a few weeks ago that if you don’t change your own perception of yourself; who you are, how you live, what you eat etc, you’ll always be fighting a losing battle … and this is true.

What’s also true is that, if you don’t change your thoughts and feelings around other people and their actions towards you, then you will also, always be fighting a losing battle.

Your thoughts and your feelings around different situations are extremely powerful, and negative emotions and their subsequent negative energy can leave the body in a form of dis -ease.

That dis-ease, if not addressed, can build up over time to manifest in a physical chronic issue and this problem will occur wherever your body is at it weakest.

This is why it is important to start to look at what throws you off balance.

Start to ask yourself what triggers you and why?

Is it small things, big things, or both?

And, is your reaction to those situations the best it could be?

For example ….

Is it really necessary to get angry over that person that cut you up when you were driving?

Is it worth losing your temper when someone doesn’t hold the door open for you, even when you’ve waited to let them through?

Does it really benefit you to remain stubborn and inflexible when you have an argument with your partner?

The answer to all those is probably no, right?

Just for the record, I’m not saying I want you to become a doormat to walk over or a robot with no feelings or emotions …

… but instead to be more self-aware and to look into why something triggers you and the story you have created in your mind around that situation … then to ask yourself if that story is true.

Now, I know this won’t be easy, as it’s something I have been working on daily for a while now.

However, once you start to have that self-awareness it becomes a lot easier to remain balanced.

As Peter Crone likes to put it, “There are no good or bad situations, only situations that we give good or bad meaning too.”

And when you really think about it, he’s right.

Remaining balanced and calm in a situation that would have previously left you uncentered and angry, as well as not allowing outside circumstances and other people to influence your mood or state, holds great power.

It is a skill we should all try to master.

So, this week my challenge to you is to be ultra self-aware on how you react to every situation that throws you off balance.

Ask yourself why you feel this way, and if your reaction was really necessary …

… or was it in fact just your ego throwing a tantrum, and something you can work on?   

Are you in?

Onwards & Upwards
