Guest guest Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 lately i have been feeling such negativity toward people and i don't know why or how to get past it. i need some suggestions or some help to move on. i keep telling myself to love and forgive but i feel almost no love at all and everytime i work on my forgivenesses it comes back to feel like so much resentment. is this some kind of test? it is just physically/mentally/emotionally wearing me down.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Hi Just an opinion but i know that this helps me when i get that way also .. I try and take time to myself to just reflect and feel the love for myself sometimes . Everyones emotions are out there and sometimes they conflict with one another . I feel that this quiet reflections helps to center my emotions . blessings Chris_H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Brandy, ask Shakti to help you in understanding why you are feeling this way! Maybe there is some sort of issue in your past, whether this life or another, that is trying to surface and that needs facing! If you are able to discover what it might be, then you can work on it and dissolve it and then move on. Sometimes things have happened that we don't recall and it surfaces throwing us for a loop and into a sea of emotions and we don't understand why or where they came from! Spend time talking to Shakti and with Christ and see what happens; hopefully it will come to the forefront and then you can put it to rest by learning the lesson behind the issue. I hope this helps! Let us know!

A good friend and mentor of mine, Ross Quinn, has something he calls " The Trust Formula " that may be helpful to you. It goes: I love you and I accept you, even when I don't understand you ... and I forgive you. I repeat this like a mantra inside my head, never out loud. When I am feeling particularly negative, and I am beating on myself over it (and I can beat on myself for beating on myself <g>) ... I use it on myself: I love myself and I accept myself, even when I don't understand myself ... and I forgive myself. Just try it out - you have nothing to lose, and you may be shocked what a huge difference this little tool makes. I sure was. Where it comes to resentment, whenever I am feeling that, the other person has power over me, and that is the worst part. When I am able to overcome it, I feel the most amazing bliss/power rush. One thing that really made a huge difference in how I looked at it was the following quote: " Resentment is like taking poison and hoping your enemy will die " - Nelson Mandela I won't say I never feel resentment anymore. But now it is more of a signal to me that I have to take action or reach acceptance. It doesn't rule me like it used to. Because I know that when I feel resentment, *I* am the one who gets to feel it. It's me that suffers. I choose not to suffer, it's that simple. There are extraordinary circumstances where I just can't overcome it, but since I realized I have a choice, I get to feel that way less and less often, and that is a huge step forward in my life. You would not believe how negative I was five short years ago. Brandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
