sensitive.

ADJ: quick to detect or respond to slight changes, signals, or influences SYN: tender perhaps it wasn't the best idea for people to be sensitive, emotional, or tender in generations prior. there was a lot of war and death (my thoughts on that in another post), 9 of your 12 children would catch an incurable disease and be gone within a day or the man would go off to war and never return, etc. in our generation, we have war in our homes. we can instantly tune into the disruption occurring elsewhere..though we know this is a reflection of our inner turmoil. we can be swallowed up by the suffering of other countries, horrible stories, human indecency, hatred, cruelty, and and and.. we can also choose to harness the desire to change these situations. rather than feeling overwhelmed and helpless, recognize that you are a powerful being. changing the thoughts surrounding these experiences alone will help shift the vibration; meaning- you can feel sad, angry, and outraged by the event (sending negative/low vibration out) OR you can feel enlightened (you are aware now), encouraged (you can ask for guidance around this specific issue now), engaged (go inside, connect, see more of the positive aspects) and empowered (to take action). start small, everything can be a much smaller deal than we initially see it. for example- you are fired. you can focus on the scary things surrounding finances and the embarrassment of being fired and now unemployed.. OR focus on how you now have space and time to do more things you enjoy (you really hated sitting at that desk all day, inside, under fluorescent lights, with people who also hated being there) to find the work your heart enjoys, to find/hang with friends you truly feel supported and loved by, to sleep in some days, to go to the beach more, to have more alone time to connect with your soul, to be found...
