Hello folks

[Jalcine]

Just general discussion questions. So a few weeks back I was feeling all happy and optimistic about my future, I stopped eating meat, I was exercising more.. I had started to lose weight by dieting/exercising (First time in like.. my whole life that I actually gave it an honest try)
Now I'm kind of back in a rut..
I did just break up with my boyfriend, which I'm sure has a lot to do with it. But I'm not so emotionally distraught that I should give up on my goals.. I'm a little bummed, but I should be able to get back on track within a matter of a couple days.. I'm not the type to dwell on things.
Oh.. and I have been a lot more angry lately, even before the breakup.. It's like a 2 month cycle where I'm fine for 2 months, then all of a sudden I go absolutely crazy and throw everything in my life away.

what do you guys do when you get stuck in these situations (if you do)? After living a life so fulfilling for a while, and then going back to being a materialistic self-indulging bastard.
Even clearing my chakras feels like so much work right now...

I haven't given meditation an honest try yet. Frankly, I'm a little nervous about the whole thing..

Hi Jalcine,

Trying to think of a reply for you is not as easy as I thought, although I also find myself having the same ups and downs on occassion.

When it does happen, I usually just tell myself its a temporary thing and regardless how I feel at that particular moment I know it will pass, be it days or weeks. Its hard to explain, but especially if it happens regularly then you can also rest assured that it will pass.

This isn't exactly the best advice I guess, but maybe try getting yourself into the mind frame of knowing the 'up days' are on their way (easier said than done, I know).

I hope this makes some sort of sense for you, if not I can give the explanation another bash

Whenever I become consciously aware that I am beginning to spiral negatively, I try to get myself out in to nature. I live in Sydney and walking down to the botanical gardens, looking out over the harbour, the Opera House and the bridge with the city skyline behind me, all beneath clear blue skies, surrounded by an oasis of luscious greens and beautiful flowers... as you can imagine, it is really, really uplifting. I can feel my whole mindset shifting as soon as I set foot in the gardens...

Find somewhere special near you, and it doesn't matter if the skies aren't blue... Just take a long walk through that enchanted forest your parents took you when you were small you'll soon be feeling a lot happier I'm sure of it. And tell your guides that you wish to leave all your troubles and worries at home. Write it down on a piece of paper and then burn it, see it released to the universe. The universe hears you, and she will ease your journey if you intend for it and inject that intention with a little magickal power

Another small thing that I have recently discovered that might help....

It sounds so simple, but as soon as you are aware that you are thinking negatively, wanting to control something or can just feel yourself flaring up.. what I've begun to do is say "cancel, cancel, cancel" in my head or out loud.. As many times as you feel intuitively necessary... maybe so many times that you completely forget what was bothering you? It works for me. An interesting concept eh? hehe... I've adopted this after witnessing someone doing it, whom I have a great deal of respect for.

I guess in a way you are programming yourself.... why don't you reprogram yourself after your bout of 'cancels' and say something like "I offer this up to my angels and guides, please help me with situation" ... They can't help unless you ask them to....

Best wishes....
