Let’s Focus on Love
by Miche Lame
When clients come to me, it’s usually because some drama has triggered a reaction, and they feel lost and overwhelmed, which goes into deeper anxiety and depression. And, it has, in a way, often become their comfort zone. That means they have been living in some drama so long that they look for that drama, so they can remain comfortable – knowing what to expect like a caterpillar comfortable with crawling and fears becoming a butterfly and flying.
No life is free from drama and suffering, yet for some, it becomes their culture, in a way, their norm. We are even aware that drama and chaos catch our attention on the news, in books, online, and in movies. Little drama and adrenaline rush are connected with love, peace, and joy. Yet, love, peace, and joy are what we are verbally taught we want, getting that adrenaline rush from fear and chaos. So, we live in conflict and are even attracted to it and create it. It’s what we are programmed with for generations starting with those cave people just struggling to survive. Fear is the primary Source of separation from ourselves and others and keeps us from enjoying a loving, carefree, peaceful life.
What if we allow ourselves to be uncomfortable, stop watching and listening to the drama that triggers fear and adrenaline, and start focusing inward – connecting with our true self and Source? What if we cultivate the awareness to release anything in our lives which is not of love, health, peace, and joy? It would definitely, for most of us, be a shift. It means avoiding being glued to negative news, movies, and books with drama – fighting, cheating, murder, survival. It means being mindful to stop looking for health scares, and ways to defend/attack. It means being mindful of where we put our attention. Will we put it on being in the moment and love? Or will we be defending, attacking, and finding ways to have that adrenaline rush in the past or future?
I vote for focusing on love, peace, and joy and seeing the negative and drama, creating patterns and mindfully changing them, focusing on finding our way towards love, and living a mindful life with a connection to our souls and Source.
