Years ago, I made a promise to myself that I would always wait until I was in my heart before replying to an email, especially if it had upset me in any way. Have I always stuck to my promise? There are times I write things I regret afterwards. For example, recently, I composed an email to discontinue a service. I didn’t want the email to sound harsh so I rewrote it several times, but the energy wasn’t behind the words. Why? I was still irritated and wasn’t in my heart. Even though I knew I would be sorry later, I sent it anyway. And sure enough, I was. Why add negative energy to the world if I don’t need to do so? And what we send forth also affects us.
Two days later, I received a call from a man who had angrily replied to a facebook post written by a former teacher. He felt betrayed that she had a different political opinion than he did. We discussed that many people don’t have filters on facebook. With these kinds of posts, as my husband says, the ping pong ball just keeps going back and forth. And yes, the lower vibrational energy keeps on being added to the world affecting all of us.
The man decided to take a break from facebook and focus on keeping his vibration high. If he did need to answer someone, he would wait until he calmed down to reply or at least write a reply but not send it, sort of a version of that old trick. Write a draft letter expressing anger and then rip it up later!
I too am setting my intentions and plan on remembering my promise to only send Heartmail with future situations. And when I don’t? Forgive and Love myself to get back on track!! That is certainly the kind of energy I want to add to our world!
💕 Love, Lee
