how to find peace when disaster strikes (2 of 2)
Posted on: March 14, 2011
Yes, we know terrible things are happening in the world. The media is more than happy to keep telling us as long as we’ll tune in. What can you do to shift your energy?
- Do a gratitude practice. Write down at least a few things every day for which you’re grateful.
- Don’t watch the news. If you need to know what’s happening, check it online. Briefly. No more than once a day. Instead, read something inspiring.
- Exercise. Keep energy running through your body, so that it doesn’t get stuck. This is especially important if you’re feeling fear.
- Tell others you love them. Express positive emotions to those you care about. Open your heart.
- Do something to help. Whether it’s giving to a pertinent charity or even going to assist personally, find a way to move past helplessness into action.
All in all, the above are actions. This type of “positive doing” will help you shift. And, if you happen to be the type of person who believes that everything is connected (see: quantum mechanics, Law of Attraction), your energy will, somehow, positively affect those who are suffering, too.
