Twenty One ~ Alternative Reality

"We fixed up the old wound that became infected, swollen and very painful.  But what do we do about the little scratches that we receive today?  How can we see them through the prism of goodness?"

It is so much easier to fix the things that we suffer today versus the ones of the past.  If we look at them as they happen we can change how we view them.  We don't have to let the pain twist our view of ourselves.  We can look at it for what it is and not take all the blame for it.  Re-interpret the wound.

It is important to take the event at hand and see if for what it is without placing negativity on ourselves for it. 

• See the other person's perspective.
• See the other person's pain and maybe their actions are a result of that pain.
• Understand the another person's disapproval doesn't affect your value or worth.
• Assume you don't know all the facts and there is a reason for the other person's behavior.
• Maybe you misunderstood what was being said or done.
• Find the humorous side to the whole mess.
• Put things into perspective.

Take a small incident that happened to you in the last 24 hours and try to re-interpret it.  Practice by saying "I would like a more positive interpretation of that incident please."

The more we can practice this step, the quicker we will be able to re-interpret and the quicker we will heal from everyday emotional hurts!

Imagine all of the little things that we find annoying now eliciting a response of laughter.  Imagine going from being uptight and grumpy to easy going and quick to smile.  We can do it!  Our mid is a powerful too.  Learn to use your mind to think outside the boxy of negativity.
