Pivoting

Today I got an angry email. I tried to respond in a loving way, but afterwards I still felt a bit dizzy, surprised and off-center. I had fallen out of that feeling of being tuned-in, tapped-in and turned on to life. How could I get my good feelings back? I decided to write a blog using the insights of Abraham-Hicks to talk myself into a better feeling place. This process is called, "pivoting", where you consciously choose thoughts which bring more and more relief...

I choose thoughts which make me feel good. I focus on aligning myself regardless of wether or not those around me are aligned. I can stay tuned-in, tapped-in and turned-on no matter what surrounds me. 

I take responsibility for my happiness by choosing life-affirming thoughts which nourish and replenish my vitality. I am not responsible for other people's happiness. Other people are responsible for their happiness because they are responsible for the thoughts they choose to have. 

I choose to see others through the eyes of Source. From the eyes of Source I focus on the wholeness, perfection and divinity within all around me. I gently allow those around me to experience deeply asking for alignment by letting them experience the discomfort of contrast. I allow them to do their own job cleaning up their own vibration. I let my whole focus be cleaning up my own vibration. 

I release wishing others would change so it would be easier for me to experience joy. I release any hope that others will think or act differently than they do. I allow others to experience the whole range of emotions available to them. I allow others to be exactly as they are and see them as whole right now.

I welcome contrast because it helps me build muscles of alignment. I was born to experience contrast. Every moment helps me learn how to find my center faster. Contrast expands my desire. Contrast teaches me what I do want by showing me what I don't want. I am grateful for the gift of clarity!

Everyone has the right to be happy. It is the natural, healthy state of being to be joyful. I focus on building my own joy and envisioning everyone experiencing joy in their lives. I align myself with the most exuberant, joyful potential of who I am! I release the need for outside validation and am validated by my Inner Being. All is well!

I love and adore you and your blog, Christabel!! I feel very fortunate to have access to your writings and thoughts. I am super grateful for your words of joy and wisdom -- you have truly enhanced my life and wellbeing. (Not to mention all you've given me as my hoopdance mentor!) Thank You! Love & Peace. Sarah.

Christabel,
I agree with Jennaluna, that was exactly what I needed as well. This happens a lot when I read your blog, you're like my oracle. Thank you for sharing the way you do! I try to stay in contact with my dad through e-mails, but I find it a constant challenge to stay in the vortex after reading them. My desire to help him, even though I know I can't, makes it hard to want to even open his e-mails. They always tempt me to feel frustrated and down after I read them. I appreciate the reminder that his happiness isn't my responsibility. All I can do is lead by example and be maintain my own vibration.

Thanks for posting this. I will refer to it often. Unfortunately I need these affirmations before and after a visit to my mother, who will never change, and due to her own neurotic baggage will continue to complain, dominate, criticize, and try to control me. Also, no matter how hard you try to do the right thing, there will always, ALWAYS be someone out there to disapprove and cut you down, but you've got to remember they have their own agenda and you can't take it personally. Keep doing what you're doing and share your insights with those of us who appreciate them. Hoop on!

Hello Jenna, Sarah and Pam thank you for all your posts! Again, I am touched that this is as useful to you as it is to me. Believe it or not, I got another hostile email yesterday and I had to open up my own blog and read this entry again for myself. I guess it is all part of the lessons from the Universe provided in re-alignment. I'm feeling like a pro now a days ;)

Diane, I think many people can relate to what you said. Families are really here as our greatest teachers. Thank you so much for your comment because it reminds me that I have been wanting to write an entry about the gift of having a family and how the challenges they inspire can really elicit our highest potential. Hang in there and find reasons to be happy.

:D
