Let it roll off your back

One of the challenges in life is not to take things to heart and hold on it making it part of your story.

All of us tend to do this as we go through life, especially when we are younger and less aware of what is happening, or if we are more sensitive than others.  We tend to take on others negative energy and give others power over us by the things they say and do that hurts or upsets us.  It is difficult not to react in anger and hurt when something happens.  And if this goes on over a period of time, we start feeling lower and lower because our energy is being taken away by the people who are attacking us from all directions, making it increasingly difficult for us to recover our balance and energy.  This can eventually bring us to the point where we feel we cannot continue to act and speak from our truth.

What we have to keep in mind and remember when someone does something that is hurtful and upsetting is that they are acting out their story; their attacks and criticisms of others have more to do with themselves than the person they target for the attack.  If we allow ourselves to get caught up in the attacker’s story, we are giving them power over us and allowing them to take away our positive energy and lose touch with who we really are.

When faced with such situations, I believe the best thing to do is to be aware that we don’t have to take on the attacks and the negative energies that it brings; that we can take the opportunity to strengthen our own core sense of self and learn to deflect and dodge the misguided negativity.  The one thing to remember as we are deflecting the negative energy is to ask the angels to transmute it to love so that it does not harm anyone else.  And as we keep doing this we will learn to keep our power and not take on the other person’s negative issues.  With practice we can become masters of our own energies and refuse to serve as targets for the anger and frustrations of those around us.

Eventually as we do this we will be able to listen and understand what others are saying and doing and be able to take in positive and constructive criticism and release that which we do not want.  And so making it like water rolling off a duck’s back, we just let it roll off our back and carry on in our own integrity and truth.
