We think about the relationships we have, the argument we had with a spouse or the guy that cut us off on the road. Inside we are creating our feelings about what we see from our perspective. We are "creating" a field of energy inside of ourselves. When we are angry or stressed about a situation that we continue to go over "inside of ourselves" our bodies show the signs of this creative energy in process. We become tight, rigid and begin to have sore shoulders, headaches or other aches and pains. We might be depressed. Our thoughts could be about no one caring, what's the use, nothing I do matters or I'll never get married or have kids. Inside ourselves we are creating a cyclic pattern of sadness. This creative process shows on our face through a frown, our energy diminishes and soon we are hunching our shoulders, becoming lazy and dipping into another dish of ice cream to smooth over the emotions we helped maintain.
It's hard to realize we do this. It's like breathing. We don't think about doing it to ourselves and many of us would be shocked to find out that we are our worst enemies. To stop it, we have to become "conscious" - there's that word again! We have to "notice" what the thoughts are doing inside of ourselves and change them. We can't fight the thought, we have to release it.
When Michael was depressed or had issues his favorite thing to do was to serve others and be the instrument for God. This way he took the focus of his thoughts inside himself that were destructive to outside of himself, actually expanding his energy and creating something positive.
Next time you find yourself in a situation where those not so nice thoughts are running through your head, perhaps you can try to take them outside as well. Reaching out to another and creating something positive in their world and inside yours.
