Sometimes we forget the power we have to shift energy. Â Sometimes, we get caught in the tangled web of being the victim of chaos, and we go on auto-pilot of reacting to every circumstance as if we have no control over the outcome or our attitude toward it.
It’s hard to make a shift. Â It’s hard to intentionally focus on love when you are being pulled in every direction and people are flat out pissing you off. Â When I’m stressed, I can be pretty impatient and my temper can start to flare. Â And then…the snowball effect. Â One thing ticks me off, and then another, and then the girls are bickering and I see the messy house and the pile of dishes I have to clean before I can even start another meal, and I start to see red.
It’s time like these that hateful words can start to spew, and anger at a situation can become identifying words to crush someone –
All you do is make messes! Â You leave a path of destruction everywhere you go! Â This is why we don’t go anywhere – you’re disrespectful and unaware and I’M JUST GOING TO THROW ALL YOUR TOYS AWAY.
That is mild. Â It could be so much worse. Â But one thing after another becomes a recipe for critical attacks for the rest of the day. Â When you are bracing yourself for one more thing to go wrong, guess what happens??
Quantum Love. Â Nathan and I have been going through an incredible online course together, and the video below is all from what we’ve been learning in the Mind Blowing Love Course. Â You can see the video I talk about from Dr. Emoto and more of my musing on energy here.
Simply love today. Â See what changes can happen in your interactions.
I’d love to hear from you. Â Have you tried the exercise? Â Share your thoughts below, or hop on over to the Mama Says Namaste FaceBook community and share your thoughts!

Yes, sometimes I have to really push myself to think about what, seriously, is the worst that could happen. Sometimes we put so much pressure on ourselves to get things done, and then, if we take a step back, realize that trip to Walmart to pick up light bulbs is NOT life-threatening and can wait until another day! Sometimes just pacing myself out more allows for me to be more present than trying to cram it all into one day!
I just added the link to this post, and also put it on my resources page. We are only through the second lesson so far but have really enjoyed learning about it all. It’s fascinating to just play with how much power we have within our own minds. And it really opens up to how much we all affect each other, and how we need to be intentional about the energy we put off. It’s prompted excellent conversations, and I always love anything that pushes Nathan and me to grow and go even deeper in our relationship with each other and others!
Ashley – great video. I’d love to hear more about the course you and Nathan are working through.
Great stuff, Ashley. This like the 3rd reminder THIS MORNING to get out of my conjuring mind and embrace PRESENCE. I have some things to address today that have been stressing me out and I decided the most important thing I can do is to simply stop and BREATHE. Get recentered. And do that fifty times if I need to. I’m tired of my monkey mind driving my days and my physical health.
