Erect Your Own Private Force Field
~ Joyce Fields
What do you do when “crap” comes flying at you from all angles? Or, maybe it’s not “crap”—just unpleasant stuff. What do you do?
Judging from tweets on Twitter and statuses on Facebook, a lot of people take it to heart and allow it to hurt them or steer their attitudes in a negative direction.
That doesn’t have to happen if you have a force field.
How do you have a force field?
You create it yourself. You put it up in front of you—from head to toe. No one else can see it. It has two holes in it for you to stick your arms through. When something comes at you, it is stopped by your hands. You catch it, turn it over, examine it carefully. Then, you decide if you will bring it in past your force field. If you don’t want it, you throw it back, diplomatically and respectfully explaining to the thrower that you reject what was directed at you. No need for anger or a negative attitude. Just matter of fact. If they want to change it around and re-present it to you, that’s okay. You do the same thing—examine it and decide.
On the flip side, if it’s something that you like or can use, bring it on in. It can reside peacefully with everything else that you have accepted and brought in.
And, if you’ve brought something in, but it’s giving you more negatives than positives, just pick it up and put it outside your force field. And keep moving forward.
You’ll notice a lot less stress, anger, hurt, and negative vibrations because your force field is allowing you to control what gets in and what stays out. It’s helping you to be more objective about your life.
I hope this works as well for you as it does for me!
