Emot ions: Connected, inspired, hopeful, believing, trusting Manif est at ion: More incidents in which you experience abundance By Michelle Joy As you read those 2 different scenarios, notice how the circumstance was the same ? only the interpretation was different. Could you FEEL the difference in your body? Perhaps the first paragraph caused you to constrict, and the second caused you to feel expansive. This is the difference between leading your life from fear verses from trust and love. Would you like to feel empowered by taking charge of your life, even when surrounded by circumstances outside of your control? If so, read on! It isn?t the circumstances around you that create feelings of unhappiness ? it?s the thought and emotions that you allow into your experience that does. Since you have free will, you can always choose how you interpret circumstances. Your interpretation then leads to a thought, which leads to an emotion, which leads to your vibration (state of being), which leads to manifesting your life. Having immediate, knee-jerk interpretations happens to all of us! But they are not always based on the highest truth. Instead of stewing in that false perspective, try to develop an observer. This will help you notice your interpretation and transform it into one that more supports a higher truth. Your life reflects your interpretations! Here is a summary of t his principl e: Circumstance Interpretation Thought Emotion Vibration Do you see how it all starts with your interpretation of your life circumstances? That is where you have all the leverage! It?s how you make sense of it in your mind, and the rest follows as above. This means you can take charge of your life! CULTIVATE GRATITUDE. Why would you feel grateful for stressful circumstances in your life? Because it will always take you to a higher vibration! It also prevents that which you don?t want, from repeating in the future. You will create more wonderful things to come into your life. Do this even if it feels unnatural and strained at first, because it?s a ticket to freedom? For example if you are paying a bill and you feel afraid because you are running out of money, look for something to be thankful for. Give thanks that you have enough to pay the bill and that they can provide a service for you! You are on this planet to grow, evolve, and to contribute your gifts to help elevate consciousness. This means the Universe sends you ample opportunities to learn. You are in a school of sorts, so look at the bigger picture as to what they mean. What are the themes? What do you need to learn? Everything that happens in your life happens because it's helping you achieve your greatest potential. In stressful circumstances, choose growth by asking, ?what old and fear-based feelings are being ignited in me and inviting me to heal? In what ways am I being invited to grow?? I've actually come to feel excited about my lessons because I feel in charge, and like there's something I can do to propel me even further to the next phase of my life. It's a game I like to play: How much can I grow? EXAMPLE: Circumst ance: I didn?t get the job I really wanted Page 6 Page 7
