Feeling others emotions can be a really great asset, but it can bring you down if you let it. The great news is that you don’t have to let it! You have the power to allow those emotions to stay, or usher them out of your body. Moving your body, singing, or just telling them to go, are all great ways to get those emotions to move along. The bottom line is that your mind is the most powerful machine on earth, and you are in control of it! You can do whatever you want, when you decide to do it.
So, no matter how many times you have been hurt by others, make room in your mind and heart to trust again. Life becomes very lonely when you feel you can’t trust anyone. Trust is a basic building block in all relationships. Without trust, you have nothing and the world becomes a dark place. It’s time to let the light shine back in, so start with trusting that life is good and those in your community are for you not against you. Trust that their smile is sincere and smile back – it’ll change your whole perspective on life.
