I was reading a new book the other day. It reiterated a concept I have heard many times. At it’s base, there are only 2 emotions, Fear and Love.

Fear is a dense, low vibrational emotion, and Love is a refined high vibrational emotion. The lower the vibration, the more “powerful” and “physical” it can feel, but the higher the vibration, the more potent it is.

In general, the book urges us to choose the Love based emotion in every situation. I don’t find this an easy thing to always do, but the more I practice, the easier it is to do.
While I do “choose” fear based emotions and responses at times, I have found that my awareness of them has really grown, and it allows me to stop and check myself and ask if that is the vibrational level I want to be coming from.

I may say no, but I am still stuck in that level, but I at least acknowledge that I don’t want to be there.
It’s a start.

A fear based emotion are emotions that make one feel bad, or make us project onto one another. Hate, anger, envy, irritation, disdain, indifference, etc. are all fear based emotions that are fed off of us believing that we are not “good” enough in some way.

Recently I have been really looking inside to see why I get this reactions to certain situations. I find belief systems that I did not know I had, and I have been working on changing those.

I like choosing the Love based emotions, when I choose the Love based emotions, I feel more connected, happier, and my inspiration kicks in.

To be inspired, I have to choose Love.

It has been almost a month since my last blog entry. Work has been crazy and I have had difficulty being around a computer when I get inspired.

However things are slowing down, and I am getting back into the pattern for the fall.

Yesterday was the first day of fall. In my mind I can already feel the ice crystals on the handle of my car in the morning.
The problem is, ice crystals from on my car most often in winter. They don’t form every day, I can’t say for certain that they are going to be a problem this year.
I have built an unenjoyable picture of a future that may or may not happen, but if it does, it won’t be for another month or so.

On top of that, sometimes I enjoy ice crystals on my car. I love warming days. The days after a hard cold spell, where the ice is starting to melt, and there is that wonderful freshness to the air, and the ice just slides out of the way with a nudge from a finger tip.
I can’t have that experience without first having the hard cold snow ice that you sometimes have to scrape.

The winter may or may not be cold, icy, snowy, warm, breezy, rainy, sunny, or anything, I just don’t know. but setting myself up to not enjoy it, months earlier, while missing the wonderful fall not a good choice.

It’s fall, I embrace the fall and I will enjoy it, and when winter comes, I will take it a day at at time, remembering that even the days that are uncomfortable lead give me contrast to appreciate other days.
