Today’s card for polishing up your soul says “I look for positive aspects in every experience.” On the back it says “Within every particle of the Universe is that which is wanted, and lack of it. By looking for the positive aspects of whatever you are giving your attention to, you maintain your connection to Well-being.” This was really interesting to pull for today because it is perfectly in line with Charmaine Chartreuse, the Color Wisdom Card that was pulled for today over at my tarot blog. Better to find the positive in what we do than to focus on the negative which will only make us draw more negativity.
Sometimes this is really hard to do. We might be around other people who are just never able to muster a good mood or we may just be dealing with an issue or situation that we’d rather rush through and get out of the way. When we have real negative reactions to certain things, like a situation that we don’t want to deal with, there is a true learning experience in it for us if we put ourselves in the moment and find the positivity in it. Strong reactions against something is nothing more than a trigger for healing if we seek it.
Our sense of well-being is found in the positive. That only makes sense when you think about; when we’re focused on the negative we become angry, frustrated, and drained. Have you ever noticed that you can get an adrenaline rush just from getting frustrated dealing with the negative things around you? Now think about how you feel after that. Tired and disconnected. This separates us from our sense of self and well-being. But if we’re looking for the positive we’re able to draw on energy that makes us feel happy and hopeful.
To tie this into the Charmaine Chartreuse card on the tarot blog, be sure to focus on the positive in the people that you have to deal with who are otherwise difficult. Someone at work might snap at you or be less than cordial to you, but do you know what they’re dealing with in their personal life? Maybe they have something that is draining on their energy and it’s just coming out in how they are dealing with you. Try to find the positive in them even when they are at their worst and that energy could help raise their energy in return.
To just sum it up simply, negativity is like junk food for the soul. Positivity creates healthy energy and helps raise your vibration of well-being.
