Waking Up and Feeling Joy
Kimmie Rose Zapf
When a person looks into a mirror, often they find themselves using an inner dialogue that can be
a driving force on how they feel about themselves.
Most of us wake up and the first thing we do is look into a mirror. Often, our first dialogue we have
with ourselves is "you look awful, look at those bags under your eyes, etc"; without even realizing,
we are beginning our day with a negative judgment against ourselves. That negativity sends out
energy that creates negative thought patterns and emotions.
This negative energy can be felt by others. So, without even realizing it, we begin our day being
negative. We then go to work or school and other people "feel" this energy. They in turn react
negatively towards us. Often, we misunderstand this reaction towards us. Often, we misunderstand
this reaction because we think they are acting negatively to us. When in reality, it is we who are
sending this energy to them.
There are many ways we can change this dominoe type effect. We can wake up in the morning and
offer ourselves positive affirmations like "I love you", "You are a special person" or "I love the way
you look and feel today". I tell my clients to write down an affirmation the night before and tape it
to the mirror. When they wake up and go to the mirror, this is the first thought pattern they will
create for themselves.
By having a loving positive dialogue with oneself we can shift our energy positively. We then see
this directed inwardly and can be felt by others a positive which creates a different reaction from
them. But, what if we begin our day with this positive thought pattern and we encounter another
individual who has begun their day negatively and directs it towards us? We often take on this
negativity (or accept it) and blame for ruining our day. The truth is that our acceptance of the
energy that created these negative feelings within us has been taken on through our own
acceptance of it.
We must realize that we are responsible for accepting these feelings. How can we deal with this
when someone tries when someone tries to "hand us his or her negativity". A few things we do is to
separate ourselves from it immediately by smiling at them, realizing that we are separate from that
person emotionally. We can react to them with a loving positive reaction, a positive gesture such as
a hug or even just a positive thought can be offered to them. This really works, try it.
They often may not feel it right away, but the energy you put out there will eventually be felt. It will
also, allow you to feel good. We can, also, send out positive energy by doing random acts of
kindness for others. Try paying their toll on the toll way when you are one car ahead of them, smile,
wave, open the door for someone, or simply send a person a though of love and kindness.
What if they still respond negatively? We must always remember that it is our choice not to accept
this energy and we have not lost it by giving it away. Remember, that you have an abundance of
love within yourself. Separate yourself from your ego. Always remember that thoughts, words and
gestures are energy. Ultimately, it is our choice on how our day will begin and end. Choose positive
loving thoughts and words. You will appreciate each day and live it to the fullest!
