Working with different people’s styles, backgrounds, and lifestyles means I get an opportunity to work through various “moods” to get to an end-result. Some journeys are blessings, and others provide great opportunities for learning. I’ve learned that both types of journeys are beneficial for me and very natural to encounter. I embrace all types of people, and am thankful to contribute to their success. That said, people give off energy and that energy can be felt by others in proximity. It is usually before words are spoken. Sometimes it is an abrupt walking style, a forceful gesture, or a genuine loving smile – our human brains pick up on so much even before words are spoken. Pessimistic (thinking the worst) vibrations feel like someone who is more reactive to their surroundings in a harsh way. These vibes feel louder or stronger and emanate from those that hold fear, feel unheard, or are accustomed to swimming upstream. The history of a pessimist often tells the tale of a hard struggle leading to mistrust or injustice. They need more affirmations and love to heal their wounds compared to optimists.

To change the energy pessimist give off, they must heal their inner wounds. Step one is to understand the wound itself – if one is afraid of the worst happening in every situation, ask the hard question, “Why?” The answer to the question may involve reliving a harsh reality and life journey. Accepting that past as history, and opening the mind and heart for a different outcome in the future is progress. It is not easy, and having a coach at your side is a great strategy. Once vibrations invite different outcomes, the universe often surprises us.

It is a miraculous transition once a pessimistic energy converts because there is joy where there wasn’t, there is excitement where there wasn’t, and there is love where it couldn’t be found before. To me it is the same person that was there before the transition, but now it is though the light switch has increased intensity brighter and brighter!

It is a purposeful choice to smile, or be gentler, or to think before one speaks; and likewise it is a purposeful choice to think the best of people around us and consider their situations before our own. I empower people to change their vibrations through a set of exercises starting with gratitude. What list of things are people grateful for in their life? How have they shown gratitude for them? What are they waiting for – life is short, don’t wait!

The process of an adult going back and showing appreciation (verbally & non-verbally) to their parent or guardian is often soul searching and healing. And please don’t wait until it is too late to do that.  I lost my mom last year, and I’m so grateful I was able to thank her in writing and in person.  If you haven’t done this yet, what are you waiting for?

The process of defining feelings of love for a good friend often begins to change a life outlook on being loved. These are completely easy ways to bring positive feelings into the realm of life, and there are many more.

The energy we give off combines with other energy in proximity to bring about an end reality. The more pessimistic (thinking the worst) vibrations becomes stronger, the more reality can mirror it. We can see this in the animal world. One angry reactive animal joining a bunch makes them all hostile and distrustful. As humans, we are privileged to have the gift of language with each other; and this gift can lift and inspire people, or undermine hope by depicting mistrust and fear for others. I hope we all do this gift of communication justice by trying our best to spreading gratitude and service for other souls we encounter on our life journey. I believe it’s not an accident when we encounter others, but that there is a purpose that person is before me.  Then it becomes a game to find out why.  People provide opportunities for us to progress our own soul.
