This week, we are starting a brand new format for the Energy of the Day blog posts.

As a reminder, every year, month and day, the energy changes on planet Earth. You will be ahead of the curve when you know what this is and are able to apply it in your personal life (being loyal to yourself first), business life (your service to others) and social life (your relationships with others).

Be aware of the energy you see around you so you can avoid the pitfalls when someone is putting pressure on you to do what they want – not what you want.

Always remember, you are the most important person to yourself. This is the key to graduating from planet Earth.

From now on, we will be posting a brief daily energy for every day all together in one post at the beginning of the week so you can plan ahead. Write these key words on your daily calendar.

We suggest you check with your own inner guidance how this energy affects you. You can come back and review the energy for the day as needed and share your comments so we can learn from you as well.

To ridicule is a putdown meant to indignify or condemn in order to make light of something that bothers you. How can you avoid any embarrassment from such foolish mockery?

Pitfalls:

When a person seeks to make fun of someone, most often they intend to cause humiliation or portray the other person as a disgrace. This irrational desire reveals some deep-rooted incongruity, searching to amuse in a sarcastic way. Even when the person who is perpetrating it may have noticed a discrepancy or a flaw with another person, showing disrespect is imbalanced and will only bring greater instability. It is a ludicrous parody trying to fix something by poking satire and wanting to roast it with witticism. If you are ever an object of ridicule, here is a spiritually sound way to look at it so you can feel more at ease.

Tip: The Energy of the Week is Enthusiasm

Solutions:

Ironically, the person initiating the ridicule has the same exact weakness they are pointing out in you. Otherwise, they would never have the sensitivity to be able to see it flawed in you. If they were balanced, they would not be publicly displaying their contempt, thinking this is funny. Their true concern would be to help you overcome it. Do not be mislead by the fact it is the other party taking things out of context. There must have been something to begin with to stir the pot. The best thing is to pinpoint what you need to address for yourself. There is no reason to feel down or depressed as this is an opportunity to refine who you really are. The other person has simply put it on the table for your review. Once you clarify how to make it better, you can share it with them since it is practically both of you who need to learn from it. The balanced response to ridicule is to agree and state what you are doing to handle it and improve yourself. You will stand solid in the dignity of being happy to use any opportunity to make yourself better. Your mature behavior will be inspiring and encouraging by supporting them to deal with it on their level.

To look! means to make everything clear and cut through the trivia. How can you bypass confusion and stare reality in the eye?

Pitfalls:

If you think something is over your head so much you try to avoid it, things will only get worse with time. Overlooking anything that is bothering you is a form of tolerating it and allowing it to grow and spread. The best option is to look! carefully into it and catch it at the first sign it is working against you. Your ability to remain attentive to the things that really matter to you will guarantee there is no way for them to get out of hand. Your desire to ensure everything is going smooth will create a peace of mind. Your sensitivity will alert you whenever you need to do something about it.

Solutions:

Instead of turning away when you do not know what to do, look! Your desire to resolve what is needed in the situation will allow you to find a solution. When you look! confidently and decisively, you can straighten out even the biggest puzzle. If you need to face up to the responsibility of what happened, do it. There is no bigger relief than coming clean with reality. Otherwise, it will only take away from you as you go. Shake off the confusion. Put an end to unclear things dragging on you every day. Take charge and look! at your life to see it for what it truly is. Even when you delegate by giving an opportunity to someone else, you always need to oversee it. You are in control only when you know exactly what is taking place. Keep your eyes wide open and always look! to have a clear idea of everything going on – inside and out.

It is a wonderful world we live in and your life is full of wonders of which the biggest one is you. How can you allow yourself to delight and appreciate it even more?

Pitfalls:

Do you ever feel bewildered or find yourself playing coy in order to suffer? Something must be causing you to devalue the magical opportunity you have to enjoy a blissful life. It does not matter how hard the situation may seem to you. The opportunity to turn it around and get out from underneath any heavy weight or negativity is endless. The moment you decide to end this discounting of your precious self and your incredible life, it will soon be over. Every moment that goes by is a treasure and deserves to be appreciated thoroughly and endlessly. Many times you may not know what you have until you lose it. Do not wait until it is too late to honor and revere everything in your life that is capable of producing wonderment.

Solutions:

It is never all bad. The good things are always more than the not so good things, no matter how many there are. If you have put yourself in a tight space, spiritually or physically, it shows you have cut yourself off from the big picture. Remind yourself of all of the great things around you and the chance you have to enjoy them. All you need to do is cut through the negativity. Do this and all of a sudden, your world will present wonders all around you. Marvel at them with a full heart. Dream and imagine what you want to bring about. Create a sense of wonderment to keep yourself inspired and encourage everyone else around you to do the same. It is a wonderful life after all.

You are experiencing peace when you are untroubled, tranquil and content. How can you have inner peace all the time?

Pitfalls:

When you are in distress and restless, your energy tightens and makes you unhappy. This is the opposite of your natural state and does not allow you to be who you really are inside.  It prevents you from bringing out your creativity and accomplishing your positive goals. What steals away your peace is fear. Every fear is based on a lack of understanding and boils down to either a fear of separation or the fear of death. Spiritually, you are infinite energy and cannot die. When you pass on, you regroup with your guidance/angels and if you decide to get another physical body, you can come back to live another lifetime until you graduate. So there is no point in the fear of dying. All other fears are created when you feel a separation from yourself and your true energy. Every one of them is caused by denying yourself and going against your own flow. Needless to say, this keeps you from being calm and peaceful. Some people get so heavy into it they can become deeply troubled and turn violent. In the worst cases, this triggers warfare on a personal or global scale. How can this be reversed?

Solutions:

Stillness, serenity and harmony can fine-tune your vibration to its full effervescent balance. You do not need to look for peace too far outside of you. You carry it within. The moment you begin to calm down, you start feeling its beneficial advantages. Your pulse will relax. Your heart-beat will even out. Your inner flow will get reestablished and smooth out any unevenness in your rhythm. You will be back home to yourself in your own sovereign energy.

Hint: Here is a proven way to help you compose and calibrate your energy in less than a minute. With our Personal Energy Cleansing technique, you can do this any time to relax quickly and effectively. You can even follow this up with the powerful World Cleansing technique to help you clear your environment and even help the whole world relax to turn it into a better place.

Can you be forthright and say it like it is?

Pitfalls:

Have you ever been obscure or vague in your communication? This comes from being unclear about what you are sharing. If others cannot understand you easily, they may think you are being deceitful or manipulative. It is very important to clarify how to keep your self-expression crystal clear and forthright.

Solutions:

In the greatest sense, being forthright means going forth and being right. Your true nature is to be expressive. This is the wonderful tool you have to share your experiences and bring forth your creativity. You have unique wisdom which is innately yours. Others can learn so much from you. Be open to pass it on. Be straightforward with your own true experiences. Nobody can tell you they are not real. Your confidence comes from knowing how it was because you were there. You feel free when you are sincere and it will be easy to articulate it. You will become more eloquent and everyone will enjoy being on the receiving end of everything you have to say. Be gracious and post your forthright comments today.

What a day to focus on your tender side, which is the real you. Your true power is gentle and your confidence is soft when you do not fear anything and have nothing to prove. Just be yourself – kind, considerate and sensitive. What can help you reveal the tender part of you even more?

Pitfalls:

If you have ever been around someone who was being hard-hearted, you know how insensitive this is. It shows how disconnected a person may be with the true energy they have. If you find yourself being cold, it is likely a direct result of someone treating you this way. If you feel indifferent, it means your compassion is turned off. Perhaps someone in your environment has affected you negatively. It is important to understand you need to be more tender toward them so they have an opportunity to heal. Be understanding, detached and fair but always display your concern and care. Also do not become overly-sensitive as you may be vulnerable and could be taken advantage of. 

Solutions:

You do not need to try showing your tender side. It will naturally shine through when you are relaxed and respectful. Be well-intended and thoughtful. When you mean well, this allows your benevolence to come out and be appreciated. Doing a good deed is rewarding in itself, even when the recipient is rejecting it. A kind word can open a heavy door. A friendly gesture can make a friend forever. Look straight in the eye of the other person and send your tender energy toward them. They will feel it and you will be allowing your genuine self to spread the love you have inside.

The energy today helps you shine your light on any darkness in your life so you can see clearly how beautiful it is. What can help you live in the light and avoid negativity?

Pitfalls:

Are you in the dark about what you really need to do? Do you feel afraid, closed off or oppressed? Is this because your direction is unknown to you and you feel heaviness? What can help your perception stay focused on the bright side of everything no matter how it looks on the surface? First, it is through your inner knowing that you realize even though you may be in the deepest darkness or thickest cloud, the other side is full of light with love and warmth. Second, it is your choice to stay connected with this light and not allow yourself to be negative about anything. In addition, here are a few more compelling points to consider.

Solutions:

You are a being full of light. All of the beautiful and powerful positive energy you have inside is you. Any heaviness or darkness you experience is false and does not belong to you. Picture a bright object and its shadow. While they both appear there and the shadow looks as present as the object is, in reality, only the object exists. The shadow is but a dark reflection created from the casting of the light on the object. It is the same with you. Your light, warmth and love are real and dynamic. They help you grow, develop and progress. As an innate part of you, you can never separate from them. The rest is not yours to begin with. These are concepts or limiting beliefs you have acquired from your environment at a young age and carry in your energy. It is important to unburden yourself, shake off anything that is not light, positive and easy. What will open up is the real you, radiant and sparkling, clear, delighted and smiling. To the real light in you!
