Have you ever noticed how your day ebbs and flows depending on your mindset? The way we view the world, ourselves, those we love, those we encounter is all dependent on the ocular of our mind. It’s true what they say “like energy attracts like energy.” When you’re having a bad day, often you can dive deeper into that bad and get more enraged, even validated when you come across someone else who is experiencing a bad day. The same can be true when you’re having a great day. You will laugh more, find more good, even have a better time when you are surrounded by those that are also mindfully finding the good. A saying I loathe is “I don’t have the time for negative energy!” Every day is fueled by the negative and positive energy that is presented to us. The magnet of us, regardless of our charge being positive or negative, attracts both. Deciding to reject or accept either force and how we apply it to our life is dependent on the strength and perception of our mind at the time of the interaction. I don’t watch the news because my mind is not mentally strong enough to handle the sadness of it. Not that I don’t care about it (because I in fact care very deeply) but I purposely don’t include it in my day because I know that what it will give me, I won’t be strong enough to take on mentally. I am not sure that I will ever be strong enough to stomach what the news delivers, especially nowadays, but I continue to strengthen my mind to those areas that can spin my positive mindset into a negative whirlwind.
No one should ever be rejected because of the way they are viewing life. While negative vibes can deplete our energy source, it is a great opportunity to throw more love not only into the source giving it to us, but also allow us to dive deeper into where we are at in the journey of ourselves. If I get sad, enraged or want to reject the energy I am given, I know those are pieces of myself that need further investigation. While I can’t take the rejection of myself by other’s personally, that is a reflection of where they are at on this journey, my feelings, thoughts and actions to this rejection, shows me where I am at. I have rejected very few, but when I have, it’s because I wasn’t strong enough to handle what was being presented to me and forced me to look inward. Rejecting a human will be something I will never forgive myself for, but the insight they gave me into who I am is how I became and continue to become better to those who encounter me.
This life is complicated, hard and trying to say the least, our mind can be changed and altered countless times throughout the day. Some days you can get up and think you can tackle the world, only to have someone say the wrong thing and be reminded that you aren’t as strong as you had thought. We deserve to have those humans that are there to laugh with us, cry with us, show us the good when we see the bad and everything positive or negative we give out, experience and go through. Not all we meet are strong enough to handle the intensities of our charge, but the few incredible ones, are a force that can’t be pulled apart. Pay attention to your mind and how it handles your day to day interactions. Have it show you the ways you need to become stronger, areas you need to improve and ways to become better for not only you, but for all those that you meet. Allow yourself the bad days, but be mindful of what those days are teaching you. You deserve the days of dancing, laughing, the greatest of times. But you also deserve and need to make time for those negative energy’s too. The fun lies within the good times, the growing lies within the bad. The best version of you needs to experience them both. So, while today you might be presented with the same energy as you are giving, always remember when it's unbalanced, whether that be from you or another, it is presenting you a lesson about who you are. It's up to you to understand what it is that you are to learn.
"When you think everything is someone else's fault, you will suffer a lot. When you realize that everything springs only from yourself, you will learn both peace and joy." -The Dalai Lama

I make a playlist for every month. I add songs to that playlist as the month goes on and those songs are played each and every day until the next month arrives and I generate a new playlist. It's crazy how many good songs I can find in 30 days. Last month I found 139 songs! I know, riveting isn't it...hahaha! Anyways, here are three that I love...why three? Well, just like when I grab paper towels to dry my hands, if I don't use three, the world seems to go off balance. You're welcome.
Yeah, I featured this artist last week! I don't know where he has been hiding, but I have loved every song that has come into my path!
You can thank Tik Tok for this one! It's catchy and one I couldn't wait to be released!
Also a Tik Tok find! This has been added to my Summer Vibes playslist! It gives me all the good vibes feels!
Have a good song you want me to hear? Send it to me!! I'd love to hear what is catching your ears!
Piece of my heart...
A couple of years ago I was taking the steps to correct my bottom janky tooth that seems to get more noticeable with age. After going through the whole process, I thought to myself, why would I fix something that has been a part of me my whole life? So...on lives the janky tooth. Something I love about anyone is when they are authentically themselves. While we might not end up being best friends, I will always appreciate someone who shows up just as they are. With that being said, I am and will always be, exactly me. I throw the peace sign around whether I am taking the picture or someone else is. If you invite me out to lunch, I will order two bloody mary's with a Coca-Cola chaser and when the bartender asks if there is a third person coming, I will say, "no these are both for me". I can't park in two lines to save my life, no matter how many attempts I give it. I've backed into a stationary boulder and still to this day can get lost even with the directions on. I cry often and sometimes at the weirdest moments. I do get mad and most don't like it when that happens, which I instantly regret when it occurs. I have about ten books started at one time and will find several additional ones to purchase at any given moment. I can say the wrong things at the wrong time and sometimes they can make others blush. I can be the life of the party and sometimes I can be very shy if I don't read the energy right. I'm always worried about what others feel and I will apologize too much but mean it with every fiber of my being. I will miss someone as soon as they leave and can't wait to see them again. I love to send texts, snaps and words, but phones (although getting better) is not my strong suit. I am not always confident in who I am and the incredible I encompass, but I tend to remember... at some point. I look for the deeper meanings of life and always want to dive into the whys and how's of what makes someone who they are. I'm lost more times than I am found and every year seems to bring out new places where I want to go, both geographically and personally. My biggest fear is losing someone and it saddens me to the core when that occurs. I try my best every single day and sometimes miss by a landslide. Some days I can't stop talking and other days I get caught up in my head, hoping to be saved by the negativity. I love music, it has saved me more times than I can count and is part of my "love language"! Ohhh also buying gifts as well is a way I express how much someone means to me because sometimes words just aren't enough. I have a huge heart that I wear on my sleeve. I mean what I say and will find all the good you hold. Everyone gets a different piece of who I am, but every piece I give is authentically me. I might not always bring my A game, in fact more times than none I don't, but I will always give you a memory and hopefully a reason to smile. I am Shea, the bighearted human. My quirkiness, mistakes, imperfections and all I encompass, don't make me flawed, they make me human. I hope that you remember that about yourself too. Show up as yourself, give others a reason to do the same!
