Removing Negative Energy:

So let’s take a moment to examine what exactly is taking place in this rather depressing photo. I’m sure everyone has already scoped out the obvious, it’s a man sitting under a dark storm cloud, and you can only imagine what he must be going through, getting struck by lightning multiple times, probably on the verge of catching pneumonia from being in the rain for so long, just an overall terrible time. So now that we understand his problem, let’s try to help him out. Some of us would probably tell him to just “go in the house”. However, he might not have a house, so what would his next solution be?

The other half of us might tell him to find some form of shelter just until the storm starts to calm down, like a grocery store or a business building. This might work for the time being, but let’s dig a little deeper than that. Even if the storm were to calm down or completely stop all together, who’s to say that it won’t start up again as soon as he gets two blocks away from the building? I’m aware that it’s a pretty harsh way of thinking, but this is life and you have to be realistic. It’s just not going to be easy to avoid rain storms when you don’t have a reliable foundation. So how exactly does this relate to negative energy? Well.. let’s compare these scenarios.

Let’s say the cloud is the source of the negative energy in your life, the rain and lightning strikes are the destructive effects that have bombarded your life, and your conscience would be your foundation. If you can’t rely on your own wits because you’re telling yourself that something isn’t a problem when it actually is, then your foundation might be unreliable, and you don’t have a sturdy shelter from the storm of negative energy. So now you have to build one, and just like you’ll need tools to build a shelter, you’ll need certain tools to build a steady consciousness.

Tool #1: DISCERNMENT

If you feel like something isn’t right, do NOT ignore that feeling. “Go with your first mind” as they say.

Tool #2: ASSERTIVENESS

Speak up against the things that don’t sit right with you or cause you discomfort, and stop feeling pressured into going along with everything. Be sure to use this tool with class and self control to avoid coming off too aggressive, but also make sure you get your point across. “It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it”.

Tool #3: INDEPENDENCE

You CANNOT live your life worrying about losing relationships with your friends, your significant other, or even your own family. Just because you care for someone doesn’t mean they have the right to use you as a doormat. If someone abandons you as soon as you put your foot down, then their only intentions were to use you, and they could care less whether you are in or out of their life. So you shouldn’t care either.

And lastly… Tool #4: AWARENESS

Ignorance could probably be blissful in some cases, but in this case it is self destructive. Pay close attention to any shifts or changes that might occur when something new happens to you. Whether you encounter a new person or even a new lifestyle, ask yourself, “Are things getting better or worse?”, and once you weigh out the pros and the cons it’ll become a simpler question, which takes us back to the DISCERNMENT tool. If you slightly feel for even one millisecond that things may be getting worse, then you might have to consider removing that source either now or in the near future. So stay prepared at all times.
