The next time you’re with your friends in a social environment, notice what they focus on when they speak to you. Are they focusing on what’s wrong with the world? The issues and the pain points? Or are they focused on the amazing things happening in the world and their lives? How happy and grateful they are?
Where are they directing their energy?
Where are you directing yours?
When you put your attention into something, you give something energy. In order for you to have thoughts and emotions, you have to put some energy into their creation.
Most of us have heard about “The Secret” and how directing your thoughts and emotions with intention works. Simply, focus your thoughts and emotions on what you want. Say it out loud, write it down, describe it in detail etc. and it will manifest into your life.
Now, am I saying to ignore the issues and what’s wrong with the world?
Yes.
If they are not directly present in your life, meaning you had to go find them on your newsfeed and you don’t know anyone that is dealing with them directly. Yes, ignore them.
Before you completely disagree with me and think:
Consider this.
You will do more good, provide more help and be more effective if — you focus on the good. Otherwise, you are adding your energy to the issue at hand. You’re making the issue worse while your ego feels a sense of righteousness. Feels good to you, but it’s counterproductive and counter-effective.
Yes, you want to create awareness as in, “Hey this issue is happening. Now you know about it.” And THAT’S IT.
No emotion, no talking on and on about it, and no ruminating about it.
Let’s do a quick experiment.
Think about 3 things you’re grateful for. Feel them, say them out loud. Feel that gratitude feeling running through your body.
Now.
Think of those 3 things and find what’s missing from them or what’s wrong with them.
Examples:
Chances are you can come up with something to find lack in.
We are good at focusing on what’s missing. You can thank your brain survival system for this (news media capitalizes on this BIG TIME) Because your brain is wired to look for dangers and threats.
So which was the more productive thought?
Which one made you feel happier? Raised your energy?
Which one do you think is going to bring more things you’re grateful for in life?
Chances are, you easily noticed it was the thought, energy and vibration of GRATITUDE that made you feel happier. It will also cause you to notice more gratitude in your life.
Wanna know why?
Let’s look to science!
From an energetic frequency perspective, we’ve often heard that energy attracts like energy. I wasn’t able to find any scientific proof on this.
However!
I was able to conclude with science that like energy creates and amplifies like energy.
How?
“Acoustic resonance is a phenomenon where acoustic systems amplify sound waves whose frequency matches one of its own natural frequencies of vibration (its resonance frequencies). Additionally, a vibration from one object can be passed on to another object at rest, if it has a similar resonance frequency. This transfer of acoustic energy is known as Sympathetic resonance or sympathetic vibration. It is a harmonic phenomenon wherein a formerly passive string or vibratory body responds to external vibrations to which it has a harmonic likeness.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_resonance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_resonance
In the brain, the resonance takes the form of:
“Brainwave entrainment, also referred to as brainwave synchronization and neural entrainment, refers to the capacity of the brain to naturally synchronize its brainwave frequencies with the rhythm of periodic external stimuli, most commonly auditory, visual, or tactile.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainwave_entrainment
Basically, the brain will begin to sync with the same vibrations it is exposed to.
Additionally, your brain contains an amazing system, called the:
The Reticular Activation System or (RAS) is a bundle of nerves that filter the information coming from the environment. The way the filter is set is determined by what you consciously (or subconsciously) set your attention to.
Your RAS will filter out what you are not focusing on. If you are focused on your friend’s conversation in a busy restaurant, you will be able to filter in her conversation and filter out all other conversations as background noise. You will NOT be able to comprehend what you are not focused on.
So,
When you are focused on and talking about what’s wrong with the world with someone, you are passing those vibrations to someone else. If they resonate with you, you begin to create those vibrations inside of them. Then you will both amplify each other’s energies.
Therefore,
What kind of world do you live in when you are vibrating in “what’s wrong” mode? What are you CREATING and putting out into the world? When you and your friend talk about problems you amplify the energy and create more of that which you are talking about! Especially when you get mad about it.
So, let’s talk about PEACE, LOVE, ACCEPTANCE, FREEDOM. Create THAT WORLD for yourself and those around you.
Let’s amplify THAT into the world.
So, focus on the good. It’s a much better use of your energy. Like
Like Ghandi said,
“Be the change you WISH to see in the world.”
And Gandi knows what’s up. 🙂
