Ok, not so much peril but those who are viewing you in a less than favourable way...
So there I was, vibing high from my group, when someone messaged me with a less than kindly comment! On the downstream side, we hadn't met, so I guess I could take it a lot less personally, and the comment was totally unfounded and couldn't be further from the truth but still! I'm a sensitive flower I am! Lol.
Anyhoo, so what do you do? In the face of someone disapproving of you, a partner who wants to split from you, a parent who is telling you off?
Well, like any negative circumstance, just take the hit of it. Don't to try fight it, justify it or change it. Allow the shock to dissipate- this could take anything from minutes to days or even months, depending on the situation.
Do your best to take your attention away from it as much as you can, let the initial shock subside somewhat. Then when you can, just release it and start to focus on the brilliance of who you are.
Know that it isn't your job to change the words or actions of anyone else. Your work is to feel better about it. Be kind to yourself, be easy about it and don't try to force yourself to be happy when you're not anywhere near it. Instead, take your time and work on distracting yourself and when you're in a better space, you can work on it, in whichever way you want.
This could consist of completely forgetting about it over time and letting it naturally dissipate. Or you can try viewing it in a more positive light. Telling yourself 'Things are always are working out for you. It doesn't matter what the hell anyone says or does because they have no power over you. Your alignment with you and you is what counts.
And eventually, by being conscious in a better feeling direction, the potency will have faded and you will be in a position to thank them (yes, thank them!), for that wonderful expansion they helped you give birth to.
Beyoncé spent two years in a depression as her fellow Destiny's Child band members left her and the 'fans' created 'We hate Beyoncé' websites!' And look how well she's doing now! Who runs the world?! We do!
So know that it will all pass and you'll come out just fine.
Happy letting go!
Lots of love, Nick Xxx
