I wish it was easy for me to choose love in every life situation. It’s not. Sometimes I want to avoid a difficult conversation or pretend I don’t get scared when I hear disturbing news. Even with a consistent spiritual practice, I can still get triggered by a harsh comment, chaotic world event or when faced with a difficult decision.
After practicing degrees of avoidance, dodging, pretending and the occasional “forgetting” for decades, I’ve remembered the truth. All these tactics are simply an ego dance that keep me feeling constrained, stressed, uncomfortable and in conflict.
The truth is equally simple.
Every time I go within and ask Love for guidance on a specific issue or ask for help to react from love instead of fear, something miraculous happens.
There’s a shift.
Sometimes subtle, sometimes more pronounced but a definite shift to a feeling of peace. The shift is physical, mental, and emotional. My shoulders relax, the knot in my stomach dissipates, the fog of uncertainty lifts and I feel calmer and more confident. It doesn’t mean that I’m totally happy with an unpleasant task at hand, but I feel more at peace about the process and how to lovingly take any action needed. The more aligned I feel with Love, the happier I am. (My husband tells me this is more pleasant for him as well.)
So how do you choose love when facing a difficult situation? Here are a few quick ideas:
It's easy to forget to choose love in difficult situations. We all do it at times. Now we can remember it’s even easier to consciously ask Love for guidance.
