Most people describe me as sensitive and kind-hearted so I don't think it's a problem with emotional intelligence. But I do have a tendency to be mundane and a deep thinker. Often times I find it harder to keep the focus on the thing that I want (warm feeling for myself), the attention becomes diverted to other things. I read that our emotions are a compass. To keep positive energy flowing we must think warm thoughts and we'll experience happiness. Conversely, if we're experiencing unhappiness it's tied to negative energy. But both are part of my reality.
Often cynicism will creep in ie why would it be that what I want (positive) will actually happen for me? It's almost as if expecting the bad thing to actually happen. And it does. I'm ware of it. And I'm practicing mental exercises to increase the pleasant feelings to get what I want. Forming mental images of the desired outcome. Still, worry/doubt/overanalysis creeps in and has a snowball effect. It is possible to reverse an outcome, though? Isn't it? Whatever is our focus will become manifest. It's sort of like the polarities mentioned in one of the articles, isn't it? Things you don't want are diametrically opposed to the things we do want. So according to polarity they cancel each other out. Or even if one does have more energy it is drastically reduced. In my case, though, it would seem that the negative outcome manifests itself because it has more energy than the postive. So, in other words, even if a negative thought comes in, if an pleasant feeling is overwhelming, it will manifest instead of the negative. That's what I prefer to believe.
Unlearning bad conditioning takes effort. When society says you can't do something on an unconscious level it does get into your brain. And it takes a lot of work to see that the negative is what others want and not what
I want. This means, too, that there will negative energy from such people that will be directed at me (or anyone else who wants something that naysayers do not want them to have). But what they wish is not what I want so I must not please them but please myself. Objectively I know this, but it takes effort to take it to the subjective level making it reality for me.
And alertness also plays a significant role in generating positive energy. When we're sleepy/tired it's harder to focus. Still, I wish it were easier.
