Conversation – 17

Embodying the Positive

You can choose to focus on the positive even when you’re surrounded by negativity.

Sometimes we start out with the best intentions to think and speak only positive thoughts, but the people around us throw us off course. Not everyone fully understands the power our thoughts and words have, or even if they do, they may be stuck in old patterns of negativity. Much of our habitual communication takes the form of complaining and criticizing, and it can be hard to find a way into certain conversations without lapsing into those old habits. However, we always have the option not to participate in negativity or to find a way to influence the situation in a positive direction. In the right company, you may even be able to directly acknowledge the fact that things have taken a negative turn, thus freeing yourself and others from the negative pull.

Not everyone will respond to your cues, and there’s no need to become overly attached to the idea of changing other people, because people have to choose for themselves how they will be in the world. Many people choose negativity because it is familiar to them and feels safe. It is important to give people the space to find their own way, but you can always set an example, subtly representing the power of being positive. At times you may interject an affirmative statement into the conversation, and at others you may simply change the subject. You may also simply withdraw your energy and presence, which also makes a subtle statement. If you feel comfortable enough with somebody that is always negative, perhaps you can have an honest conversation with them; after all, awareness is the first step to change.

A powerful way to free yourself from the negative pull is to enlist allies who are similarly minded. You and a friend, coworker, or family member may agree to work together to continually shift the energy in a situation in a positive direction. The power of two people working to promote the positive is exponentially greater than one person working on their own. As you and your allies work together to lift the energy around you, you will be amazed to see how quickly the positive pull begins to draw people into its orbit, freeing one mind after another from negativity into light. AMEN to that. ✨✨

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California wishing you and the entire family blessings and be safe
during this time. ✨😘

@shoelady60,

Enjoy the day in the ‘burgh. 😘✨I hear this Elvis Movie has the seal of approval from
both Pricilla and Lisa Marie. The actor playing this role does not look exactly like Elvis but
he embodies everything about Elvis. Great Movie. 💕😘✨

Enjoy your Luncheon and make it a great day.

Austin Butler plays Elvis in this new movie and it is directed by the wonderful
Aussie Director Baz Luhrmann who directed Moulin Rouge and The Great Gatsby. 😘✨

Sit back and let the music take you away. 🎶🎶

Blowing a kiss to you and Jake’s Canvas. ✨💕😎

Taci’s Birthday
Song by Johnny Crawford

No time for the movie show, TV, or the radio
Gotta write a symphony, end it with some poetry
Tie them with a ribbon made of gold and give them to Cindy
Today is Taci’s birthday
No time for geometry, ‘rithmetic, or history
Gotta write a song from my heart, then pick the greatest work of art
Tie them with a ribbon made of gold and give them to Taci
Today is Taci’s birthday
No time to do the Twist, don’t mind all the things I miss
Gotta write a melody, write it from the heart of me
Tie it with a ribbon made of gold and give it to Cindy
Today is Taci’s birthday
Yes, Taci’s happy birthday…

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Pretty sure your phone is busy. ✨✨

I hope you are able to get an appt. with Spectrum. Oodie I always have a smile. 😎
I actually like the cooler weather just not crazy about insane weather. Oz can be a mixture
of both. I just worry about the pipes in winter they do freeze and hubby has to get
them warm again. We are use to this it goes with living in OZ. We are now in the
90’s and no I do not care for extreme humid and hot days here. ✨😜I am a Spring, Fall
and Light Winter Girl. 😎✨

Oodie you have your hands full I know you got this. Wishing you a cool day. ✨The weather
has been very odd everywhere and my heart goes out to Kentucky I have never seen such
devastation in a short amount of time. All those families just lost. Saying a prayer for people
who have it really bad with the weather. 🌹

This is Summerland in Florida. ✨😎

@xango,

I hope this is a good morning for you and your husband. ✨😘🌹Godspeed on your
doctor’s visit today. Please know I am thinking of you right at this moment. ✨

I read a lot of your posts last night and I understand a lot better about your walking.

I am glad you are only 20 minutes away from the doctor’s office. Please stay cool
and hydrated.

Just to take your mind off of things for a bit have you been to this place?

Please stay safe and keep that mask on. 😘✨

@defg,

Good day in Maryland and may this day finds you doing well. I feel for your daughter’s
