Stop the Emotional Downward Spiral

Ever feel depressed?  I don't mean that dark night of the soul kind.  Just one of those days where motivation escapes you and life feels a bit like you are putting one foot in front of the other.

We know that we attract to us whatever is in our vibration.  So who wants to attract more downer experiences?

But what do you do instead?  How do you stop the downward spiral?

Here's something that works for me.  It's simple and very effective.

As soon as you notice that you are feeling down, stop.  Evaluate what is happening.  Say to yourself, "I choose Love!" Now, you may not feel like choosing Love in that moment, but honestly turning away from that victim downer energy and turning toward Love, you change your vibration.

Then, say, " I open my heart to receive Love."  Imagine the back of your heart is opening and Love is coming in.  Or, open your mind to receive Love.  Use whatever works for you.  Give yourself a few more minutes to soak in all that Love that is coming in.  Remember, Love is always present.  If you don't feel it, you have closed yourself off from it.

Let me know how this works for you!
