Tension Dispensin'

It’s amazing how much we can affect the people in the space around us. One person’s expression, one conversation, one smile, one slight, one explosion of laughter – they all change the air.

It’s extremely important to be aware of the energy that we are putting off and receiving.

No matter how unaffected some of us try to be – as humans we are like sponges. We suck up all of what is going on around us and then we either keep it in and swim in it or we slowly leak it out and pass it through an emotional chain reaction to the next person that we come into come into contact with.

We can either be a source of light or a source of discontent.

The biggest danger to our emotional well being and our relationships with those in our lives are the moments when we don't even realize the vibe we are throwing off or have knowledge of where it came from. We act out of emotion and destroy moments with angst that might not even be ours to begin with.

Be aware. Learn how to repel negative and soak up positive. Tailor your hearing to find the good. Tailor your responses to point it out. Don’t feed a hungry, burning anger.

Be grateful for the good, find the happiness and pass that around. People won’t have a choice but to absorb some of the energy and you’ll have a better chance to stay away from the wildfire of negativity that others are so willing to share with the world.

It's not far fetched to say that people bond easier in negativity than they do in positivity. But why does it have to be that way?

100% Jamie! I wonder why it is that as humans we are more drawn to negativity. It's odd, when you think about it! I love the vanity plate - I always try to practice an attitude of gratitude because it makes my life easier, and hopefully changes the life of someone else along the way. There is an old story about a taxi driver in NYC who decided to wish everyone a happy day in the hopes that his wish became their reality. If he brought a smile to their face, he asked that they "pay it forward." I loved that story. Such a simple act with such a huge outcome!

Cluck-a-doodle-dooooooooo.

Today I did it. Every morning I drive past a garden supply store on my way to work. And every morning I look at the rooster statue standing more than 5' tall in front of it and think, "I want a picture of him." And then I drive by. I'm either too late for work. Or just not in the mood. Or it's raining. Or I've got other things on my mind. In other words I'm full of excuses. I have spent more time reasoning myself out of taking that picture than it would have taken to just pull over and snap it. What changed today? The Details in the Fabric. It was recommended that I listen to this Jason Mraz song and pay attention to the lyrics. So, I did...and in listening I decided to stop paralyzing myself. To stop driving by just because I'm preoccupied or feeling lost. "Calm Down. Deep Breaths. And get yourself dressed. Instead of running around and pulling all of your threads. And breaking yourself up." And that's what I need to do. The way I&#
