Lesson 213: VIDEO - Validation

Today we are to watch this short film and note down how we are feeling. It’s a film about validation and how our words can impact others.

I really enjoyed watching the film because it reminded me how our energy can radiate out. When we say something positive to someone, it brightens up their day. Doesn’t it feel good when we can let someone know that they are great? It’s a good deed that we are doing that makes someone else feel good. If we can show that we are good in ourselves, this can spread our flow of energy out and people can feel off your positive vibes.

I really enjoyed that this man just wanted to see people smile and his day was made when other’s smiled for him. I liked the other side of the spectrum though – when he couldn’t get the lady to smile, it sent him into his own slump. To me, this reinforces the fact how our moods can impact others. Because he started feeling down, people didn’t go to him for validating comments anymore due to him being negative. This is a reflection in our own lives. I know I can feel this at work – when morale is low, we are all unmotivated and less engaged. If we maintain good positive notions, then this starts to reflect in others.

I think one of the key take away messages is that you have the power to influences people’s environments through positive reinforcement. If we can create a positive energy around us, then that spreads throughout your space. The same goes for being negative. We have direct influence to the world around us, so why not make it a positive space? Keep paying people compliments and uplift them with your words – it can make all the difference to someone else’s outlook.

Lesson 213: You Feel the Energy of...

“You feel the energy of scarcity even if you are in abundance. You feel this because you feel everything in the Universe, as vibration. What affects the one, affects the One.”

— Sara Wiseman

Today we are to think about how we deal with the truth that there are so many beings on this planet that do not have enough like you and me. Is it something you ignore? Is it something you think about from time to time? Are there ways in which you make a difference?

I try to pray in my own way for always being grateful for my day and all the things I receive. I do think about those people suffering in various ways – whether it’s not having enough money, not having enough food, those that are unloved and abused. I do think from time to time how I can help or just be a better person.

Small things I personally do is not wasting food, take a vegetarian approach, be kind to others, donate money to charities and praying for those who are less fortunate than myself. I do want to volunteer but I have so much going on in my life towards my spiritualism, I feel like this is a future venture for me. I can stretch myself thin because I don’t think that would really help others, if I’m tired. I try to eat all the food I eat, because I shouldn’t waste food. I should only ever buy what I need. I want to eventually go vegan because I think eating meat, not only makes the animals suffer but isn’t a sustainable future. I try to be kind to all people because I shouldn’t judge them as I don’t know their story. I donate money to charities to do the work that I currently can’t volunteer to do myself. I pray because it’s a reminder to be grateful and look at the abundance in my life and take a moment to think about those that do suffer. There isn’t a day that goes by now where I’m not thinking about others in this way. I want my energy and positive thoughts to hopefully help someone else. I’d like to think when I pray for others, it actually feeds to someone in need.

There is that hard truth out there that we choose to ignore. Sometimes we get so caught up in life that we’re just blinded to the truth that other people out there are suffering. I think it comes back to self to be more aware of it and thinking about ways in which we can care.
