Stigmatter - Thought(s) that Matter(s)

It’s been long since I’ve posted anything on Stigmatter (no, I still love writing) - it’s just that there are times when you don’t really have one specific reason for not doing something. We all have this unknown force pulling us down from achieving what we love to do. This made me wonder, what if we turned this force around for our own good, instead of it going against us.

Allow me to explain - I believe, strongly believe that every person has this really potent energy inside, that just needs to be channeled the right way. For many of us, it’s dormant. But that doesn’t mean it does not exist, it surely does. It’s like a Gold ore that needs to be mined. I truly think we all have this powerhouse, which is just waiting to be explored.

For example, let’s say you’re having a crappy day at work and everything seems to be messed up, because you had a fight with your spouse in the morning. Everything starts to look so difficult. You try so hard but nothing goes your way. The boss yells at you, your colleagues sound rude, the coffee spills on the laptop and so on. Sounds familiar?

We all have our bad days and if you notice, you feel extremely low on energy at such times. Now imagine, in this situation, you get to hear some sort of “good news” that cheers you up. It could be anything, like winning the lottery, getting a promotion or well, just a *sorry, let’s make up* call from your spouse. As soon you hear something so positive, everything changes. The bad day suddenly turns good. And you feel this surge of energy like never before. You don’t even notice the small negative stuff that takes place around you. Yes, you simply don’t care. Instead, you start harnessing this energy and get your stuff done, that you found difficult a while ago.

This just goes on to show how much we let the external environment affect the way we think, feel and behave. We let the situation control us, and thus don’t feel the energy to keep moving on. Usually when you have this energy sweeping you, you get motivated. This is the reason why you feel like you can face anything when you’re overtaken by strong emotions such as love. But wait, what’s the secret to keep going on, no matter what happens around you?

It’s about maintaining an “energy momentum” as I call it. There are times when you feel highly motivated, so much so that you start doing stuff you never thought you would do. These are golden moments, when you’re at the peak of being yourself, the peak of bringing out the best in you. Seize them, don’t let them go. Utilize these bursts of energy to the maximum, before they die down. Take a piece of paper and write down exactly what you’re going through, your feelings, your thoughts, everything. This will give you a clear idea of where it’s all coming from.

Now, whenever you feel that you’re getting back to your negative self, pull out your secret energy spell and go through it, feel it as you read it. You’ll instantly switch back to that same “I can absolutely do anything” zone. Do this every time you feel you’re slipping back to the previous unwanted mode. And soon you will realize that you no longer need this support, and you’re changing for good. This takes effort, but it pays in the end. Remember, we all live our lives based on emotions, they rule us. By journaling your positive emotions in great detail, you have the opportunity to bring them back to you at will. So, feel any energy? Go on, save it for the future :)
