Free Your Soul From Toxic Negativity

It is usually advisable to get over it and move on. When we continue to vent about people or things that annoy or frustrate us, or when we cannot forgive someone who has wronged us, and we go on, and on, and on about it, we are affirming the negative and attracting more of the same energy into our life.

Revenge or vitriol does absolutely no harm to another person, only to the person pursuing it. Anger or hatred does not affect the other person, only the person sending it out. What comes from your own spirit, your thoughts, words, actions, is what you will create in your own life. You are hurting or changing no one with your negative feelings other than yourself.

That person who hurt you has moved on with their life. In fact, they might even be living their best life, while you are still stuck and stagnant in the pain and misery of the past. It only becomes baggage that carries forward into the now, and into the future.

I once had a client who obsessively held onto anger, hatred, spite, and revenge towards her ex for over a decade.  She could not figure out why every new relationship and project in her life since then failed miserably, usually with almost the same endings.

Finally, after years of struggling to bring her different insights, she was able to look at the person who hurt her, release his memory with loving, forgiving energy, and let the whole thing go. Then, as I had predicted, the next person who came into her life was everything she had always wanted in a partner!

In fact, her new beloved was far better than anything she ever had with Mr. Most Hated, before it went wrong, and had she continued on her path of anger and toxic baggage carrying, this new love miracle would most likely never have happened.

Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything – anger, anxiety, or possessions – we cannot be free ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Know that when it comes to love, when God, Source, the Universe removes someone from your life, it is to create space for someone better and more suited to come in. At first, it may feel as if your world has fallen apart, but be patient and work on your inner being to keep it calm, pure and loving. The right person will eventually come along.

The same goes for a job that you may have lost, or the promotion you did not get, or a friend that betrayed you. It is okay to let people go.  It is okay to let jobs go.  The better opportunity will always be there in the end.

The next time someone or something negative comes up, instead of venting, ranting and raving about it, rather meditate on it. Send that memory or person loving, healing energy. Find acceptance and forgiveness within, for both yourself and anyone else involved in the issue.

Let today be the day you finally release yourself from the imprisonment of past grudges and anger. Simplify your life. Let go of the poisonous past and live the abundantly beautiful present, today ~ Steve Maraboli

Turn the negative into kindness and peace. When we do this with a clear conscious and a clean heart, it transmutes the toxic negativity into positive , self-empowering energy.  When you change your outlook and attitude, the good will start to flow again in your life, instead of more people and things that bring you down.

Of course, the wounds will not erase itself overnight, but taking a more constructive, spiritual approach is the first step to change for the better. It is a fresh start towards happiness, joy and fulfillment.
