Blues,
Blues, Go Away
by Marie T. Russell
This
article was written
in answer to the following
question:
"Why am I
feeling like this?"
The reason
you are feeling "down" is that you are not
following your inner truth.
When you
don't feel like doing something, it is much
better for you to do what you really feel like
doing. This will serve you much better and
keep your energy at a high peak, instead of
letting it drain because you are going against
the flow. I know you understand this.
When you do
something with a negative attitude or in a
negative (resentful) frame of mind, you will
get the same kind of results on a energy
level. As you sow, so shall you reap.
Learn to
listen to and heed the small voice within.
When you sense that you really don't feel
like doing something... stop and ask yourself
what you really would like to do at this time.
Then if at all possible... do that which your
heart truly desires. Don't let your mind or
reason dictate what you are to do.
Follow the
quiet promptings of your heart. The heart
knows best. Have you not been told this
before?
Remember to
fulfill your heart's desires. Usually these
are not such big things that are impossible to
do. Sometimes it is simply to go outside and
smell the roses... The saying does go "Don't
go through life so fast you forget to smell
the roses..."
Did you
take time to smell the roses today?
Did you
stop to chat with a friend?... Or were you too
busy...
Did you
take time to admire the beautiful perfection
of the blue sky, or the shape of the
clouds?
And how
about admiring the beauty that you are?
Another
reason you do not feel at your utmost level of
energy is the food you eat... You need to keep
"alive energy" in your cells and to
do so must put in food which is also
alive.
You need to
slow down and take the time to prepare your
food lovingly, or have someone else prepare it
lovingly, and then stop and feed your body
lovingly.
Take the
time to sit down and eat instead of standing
and eating 'on the go'. Your body carries
you around throughout the day. It deserves to
be treated with respect and love. It deserves
some gratefulness for the work it is doing.
You
sometimes only look at the dark side of your
being... yes there is a pimple on your
forehead... so what! Did you notice the
healthy glow to your cheeks... or the
beautiful smile, or the vibrant and healthy
mane of hair?
Please!
Stop and take time to love yourself.
Take time
to do things for yourself.
Take time
to listen to your heart and follow its
guidance.
Don't
override the voice that speaks within. It is
there to serve you, to provide you with
happiness at all times. When you override its
feelings, it's like hanging up the phone on
a friend. You would never do that would you?
Well don't hang up on your inner voice. Its
only desire is to help you attain that state
of perfect happiness that you so desire.
Stop and
pay attention.
Look around
you.
And listen
to the messages that come to you.
