♥LOVE TIP – Sunday December 8, 2013
Hello LOVE-lies♥
Such a remarkable and outstanding beginning to December…so much nurturing and ♡LOVE and caring and growth…..The Couples Intimacy Retreat (from 1st – 7th at the Hummingbird Eco-Retreat on the Mornignton Peninsula in Victoria Australia) that has just finished was brilliant with much intense and tender healing and we were touched by the re-connection and precious ♡LOVE-ing of the couples.
Our 30 Day Being-♥LOVE-Zero-Negativity Campaign for December is going strong with a group of beautiful souls making a difference as they share the ♡LOVE. You are welcome to join if you feel called to build your ♡LOVE-ing muscles and create A Zero-Negativity Zone.
The gift of Being-♥LOVE-Zero-Negativity is a gift of kindness and generosity that will keep on giving year round – to yourself and everyone around you. See all about it and ask to be invited into the group here …….If you are unsure and need help please ask any questions – there is a great team ready to support you.
So many learnings have been arising for many of us by putting our attention and focus on Being-♥LOVE-Zero-Negativity. Like this epiphany that happened for me….
I was reading a story the other day that a guy shared about an Official doing something “officious” to him and he noticed his frustration and his reaction rising. Then he caught himself and watched it pass as he looked at her and saw just a human being doing her job and…
“realized there wasn’t a single thing she or anyone else could do to take away my happiness. I could give away my happiness if I chose, but not this day….”
Wow, his way of looking at it sure impacted and resonated with me! I thought about times when ♡Shelton does something that feels negative to me that results in me getting upset – with a reminder the content/facts of our upset are never important even when we self-righteously think they are.
I can usually stay ♡LOVE-ing and understanding for quite a while. The time depends on how relaxed or stressed, tired, frazzled, tense or over-worked I am. But as he continues to do what I interpret and experience as being negative and un-♡LOVE-ing I watch myself sometimes slip into feeling hurt and disappointed… AND then before I know it, it is like I have jumped on a slippery slope…. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee sliding down that slope I go…it feels to me a bit like going down a very steep mountain and like being on a very fast zipline…..and this slope I am on is infused with NEGATIVITY as well, even though what I am telling myself is…
I am being hurt and vulnerable.
And YES I AM being hurt and vulnerable. But what I usually do at this point is I shut off and withdraw my ♡LOVE and connection as I pull back into myself and that
EQUALS NEGATIVITY.
And it can take quite some time to come trekking back up that steep slope back to POSITIVITY… At that time I have stopped Being-♥LOVE.
EVERYTHING feels so much duller and alone and lonely in that place of “protection”.
IT IS like my happiness has been taken away.
Reading the guys sharing above is an awakening or light bulb moment to me as actually what is happening at this point is I am CHOOSING to give my happiness away!!
All the time telling myself it is just me protecting myself.
Isn’t it amazing how many times we/I need to see/hear things before we really get it!!!!…
I am committing to really paying close attention to this through this month.
Is this making sense to you?
Question for you: Is this true for you? Let’s have some interaction about this. This is also a pretty good topic to do some Mirroring on.
♡MIRRORING PRACTICE: Share about this with another. Have them ♡MIRROR you for a minimum of 5 minutes and then swap, or write about it in your journal if you prefer.
Here’s to some fabulous days of awakening and happiness dear friends, Gratefully with LOVE Susie♡
