Disapproval
What is this thing called disapproval?
Disapproval is criticizing, complaining, condemning, judging, bad-mouthing. Its wanting to change someone or some situation to be like you want it to be, because you dont like it the way it is.
Let's not make it complicated. Let's keep it simple.
Disapproval is negative energy. Disapproval is spewing out negative energy.
When we're in disapproval, we're expressing, or we could say, we're broadcasting negative energy into our environment. Often were transmitting negative energy to another human, even to someone we claim to love.
Ever wonder why it seems like we're experiencing negative events, situations, or reactions out there in our life? Could it be that we're getting what we give? Could it be we're sending out negative energy and it's coming right back at us like a boomerang?
It's not something to believe. Its something for each of us to check out and see for ourselves.
Next time you're in a "bad mood," next time you know you're in a negative place, notice what you're experiencing in your life. Or next time you notice you're experiencing negative in your life---big or small---check back and see if you've been broadcasting negative, or holding onto negative thoughts and feelings.
For some reason most of us silly humans fail to see some simple arithmetic. Negative+ negative+ negative... however we look at it, how can all of that negative ever add up to positive?
Yes, most of us, usually unconsciously, slip into disapproval---negative energy---more or less frequently. It's a conditioned response, a habit. When we finally see that this habit, we've been practicing for so long, is only bringing us more misery and unhappiness, we decide to end it. We decide to catch ourselves in the act, and stop it in its tracks.
We decide to let go of the negative and in doing so, make room for positive, for smiling faces, and happy experiences.
And it only takes an instant to change our experience by changing our feelings, beginning with dropping our disapproval; by deciding to drop our disapproval in that moment. Doesn't it make sense? Why not try it and see what happens?
Hey! And guess what? Check this out. When you're in a positive place, approving, embracing, appreciating, you likewise get what you're giving. Serendipitous good things happen, lucky things happen, happy things happen. Things work out just like you want them to. How could it be any other way? Positive + positive + positive has to add up to positive, doesn't it? Of course. And it all adds up to life just the way you want it.
And remember, this is a new skill we're talking about, and most of us have practiced the opposite skill a long, long time. It could take practice to get it down, just like any other worthwhile skill. Just start out. Pay attention to what's going on in your mind. Look for disapproval and when you see it, drop it like a hot potato. Then give approval, broadcast silent approval mentally.
Keep on practicing and by and by, you'll be able to let go of disapproval and give approval in spite of what anybody is doing or saying, including whatever your mind is doing or saying.
And you'll own the skill that allows you to be happy all the time and have the whole world come your way.
Try it. You'll like it.
