Vibration is in Everything

Poster comes from an email of different sayings from friends.
 

We all know that everything is made up of energy.  We also know from our science and physic classes that everything has a different vibration.  When I saw this poster, it started me thinking about the humans that surround me at different times and the energy that I feel in different places.

When you determine what energy feels good to you, you determine how your life will manifest.

Many blessings,

Redefine Yourself!

The following motivations come from https://www.dailymotivation.site/?utm_source=dailynewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily

• You are not defined by your past. 

• Things have changed and so have you.

• Life is dynamic. Don't limit yourself to what once was. 

• Stop over-thinking what has happened. Focus on living well in the present. 

• The present moment is giving you opportunities to create better experiences and transform your perspective.

I see so many people, friends and family included, who are stuck in a past situation.  For me, this is a sign of PTSD.  A trauma occurred and now the person is stuck.  If one is truly in balance as Nature intended, the past is a rolling event that is like a past movie.  Details are difficult to recall.  However, when someone keeps repeating the same story of an event that happened and how they are the victim in the story, the person gets time-locked in that emotion and in the reactions.  Talk about stuck in a rut!

So the solution to being stuck is to let it go!  It is not the situation that is the problem but how one reacts to it.

What changes will you make this week?

Many Blessings,

On Being Happy

For the last several weeks, the quote below, on happiness, keeps popping up either in my email or on sites that I look at.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. - the Dalai Lama 

I decided that I really needed to look at my happiness and look at whether I was truly happy.  We know that happiness comes from inside you and not from external sources.  And yet, as I examined my life and my home and yard and all our friends and neighbours, I concluded that I am happy.  I love my life!  I love that we have beautiful flowers and a bountiful garden and herb garden. I love that we can sit and have coffee on the deck in the morning.  I love that I have time to meditate and to walk in Nature, and to sit on the Earth and feel the life that flows from it.

I then looked at my compassion.  The meaning of compassion as defined by the University of Berkeley in California is:

Compassion literally means “to suffer together

.” Among emotion researchers, it is defined as the feeling that arises when you are confronted with another's suffering and feel motivated to relieve that suffering. Compassion is not the same as empathy or altruism, though the concepts are related. - https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/topic/compassion/definition#:~:text=Compassion%20literally%20means%20%E2%80%9Cto%20suffer,though%20the%20concepts%20are%20related.

Based on this definition, compassion is at the far end of my bar of happiness. I do not feel compelled to search out people that are suffering.  I realize that compassion is something that I need to work on.

May you all have much happiness in your days.

Many blessings,

Judy
