Resilience, something the world needs a lot of. The many changes and challenges we face today are different to years gone by.
We have moved with technology and introduced an abundance of things to make life easier and less stressful. With that shift has come other stresses and difficulties we never saw coming.
The smaller the world was, the simpler things were and from that there were gains that we have now lost.
We have gained things, but I'm not sure the losses aren't greater.
Something not included in the smaller world consciousness, was the concept of energy soup impact and yet it played its part.
If you have a family in a community and they are all thinking and feeling from a place of community, helping each other out and contributing to the whole, then the energy you connect to is one that has that community thinking. It is a way of learning without being taught, like the unwritten rules. It just is because the energy soup which surround you dictates it and you take it on, then it is supported by the actions you observe in life. It becomes part of who you are without you even realizing it.
Currently we need to consider our energy soup, it contains;
* The constant barrage of marketing from every advertising company which re-enforce our sense of 'NOT GOOD ENOUGH' and 'NEEDING MORE STUFF- THEIR STUFF TO FIT IN, to be accepted'.
* Social media & media, which gives us so many other people to compare ourselves to. Mostly false comparisons, due to what is portrait, but none the less we compare and judge ourselves, often come up lacking or wrong, increasing self-criticism and decreasing further our view of ourselves.
* TV has given us access to other cultures and diverse options of life. However, it is the fictional shows, portraying living standards with less caring, respect, manners and poorer ways of interacting. These contribute to real life by being mimicked as a way of fitting in, doing as we believe others do, to be accepted.
Ultimately, this way of interacting becomes like a virus. The greater number of people holding this mimicked way of being and displaying this behaviour, the more it is in the energy soup and spreads for all who are still a BLIND UNKNOWING CASUALTY to connect too.
This is what we and our children are blindly unknowingly living and breathing every day, the outcome is that we have more children and young people with mental health issues, exposed to violence via bullying or domestic, lacking self-confidence and esteem unable to say no to addictive and dangerous situations. More and more children are labelled with one of the many conditions such as ADHD, ODD, OCD, etc.
There are 7.1% of children diagnosed with anxiety or depression. 1 in 5 children (approx 9 yrs old) have been bullied.
If only it was as easy as returning to small n simple to have resilient kids and young people. But it's not because even with small n simple we still had people like me who were, bullied, lacked self-confidence, lacked self-esteem and was lonely and sad too much of the time.
Despite the family and community values based on contributing, being part of the functioning of the whole picture, where doing chores, just because that helped everyone and not because you get paid to do them, my inner self-talk did not covert to feeling valuable and useful.
We hated it, but I know the benefit of knowing how to contribute was worth it for my everyday living. I knew how to share with others, to be considerate and patient of others, however my internal self-talk and auto-programming never improved in regards of my love of myself.
There was a lot of energy soup giving many other messages which aligned stronger with my foundation truths. Being as energy sensitive as I now know I am, the energy messages would override the physical world messages and have a bigger impact on my auto programming.
My auto-programming grew as I did, but always through my truth-filters, gaining self-criticisms and condemnation. Only as I re-designed my energy personality did this change.
There are so many other contributing factors, which make this a complex situation and finding a answer is an urgent requirement.
This is an important contribution to your personal life and a special time for humanity to make the shift and understand and incorporate the energy aspect of who we are and train our children to know how to become CONSCIOUS CONNECTION DESIGNERS, so they hold the power to create themselves as confident and resilient, changing themselves and the world for the positive.
