“Why did you wave and smile at that person after they cut you off like that?”

“Because they looked like they needed someone to be nice to them.”

Ω

Do you ever have a day when it seems that no one is being nice to you?  Did it occur to you that those people may be reflecting back to you, what you are sending out to the world?  Fundamentally, what you “receive” is what you “give” to the world.  When you are having a rough day interacting with others, you might look at yourself objectively and change your own behaviors.

The change that comes back to you is not “instantaneous,” but the energy that you “send out” will ultimately affect the energy that you “get back.”  Just like many things, there is built up “momentum” that keeps the energy level moving in its current direction.  Much like a pendulum that is on the upward swing.  It will continue to move in that direction until all momentum is lost, when it will reverse direction and move the other way.

If you have spent years and decades “sending out” negative, bitter, angry, hateful energy, it may take a while for that momentum to be lost and change direction.  However, it will eventually happen, so you might as well start the “change” right now.

Think about your day yesterday, or possibly your day up to this point.  What type of energy have you been “sending out” to the world?  Did you get angry with another driver during your commute?  Are you bitter at a co-worker?  Were you nice to your mate?  All of these interactions are a good place to start.   Sometimes the best place to start is with your mate or closest relationships.

When you see your mate are you happy to see them like when you were first courting?  Do you speak in a nice friendly manner?  Are you truly happy to be with them?  If not, you might look back to the things that brought you together in the first place.  You also might look at the reasons why things have changed.  Typically, the negative energies are coming from a place of ego and pettiness.  “I’m tired of picking up after her.”  These types of statements are negative in manner and are providing energy to swing the pendulum in the negative direction.

When you see your mate and other people who are close to you in your life, you might set the intention to only send “positive” energy their way.  For one, sending someone positive energy helps to uplift them, and secondly, it will help you keep that “pendulum” moving in a positive direction as well.

Sometimes, it is easiest to send strangers positive energy.  We can be “as good as gold” to someone we do not know, and then treat those closest to us with bitterness and anger.   To practice this technique, you can set the intention to send everyone you encounter positive energy.  That way, you build the habit which you ultimately would like to do anyway.

Send the world the energy that you would like to receive back to you.  The reason for this is not to “receive” but rather to give others what you would like to have yourself.  However, a side effect of that behavior is you will be rewarded with that very energy as well!
