Work- Maintaining Balance

LET US REFLECT GREAT ENERGY AND POISE
FOR WHAT WE GIVE OUT, WE IN TURN RECEIVE.
Each of us have a vocation, Something we live by, Work by. The time most of us spend in this time is more than half our daylight hours.
It is essential that we work. For many simple reasons.
On a psychical level.
- To develop our skills.
- To streamline our goals.
- To provide sustenance for us and our families.
On A more Metaphysical and spiritual level
- To give direction and purpose to our lives.
- To give us self reliance and enhance our self worth.
- To learn to give share and gain balance in a crowed.
- To be mindful of others.
- To define our boundaries.
- To learn to be spiritually aware.
As you can see work is a very essential part of being in the universe. When we look at our lives we must remind ourselves that we have chosen to be here. When we were in spirit form we desired to be born in order to perform good works. No, better still “great works” It all sounds fairly easy and wonderful. However in truth we have some practical problems that we have to contend with.
Here are some issues and some suggestions of how you can handle the.
Diverse Personalities.
Those who we work with can have rather soft or loud personalities. I have heard people talk on the phone like they were addressing a political meeting. They are either trying to be heard by all to profess their greatness or they just have very loud music at home and cannot hear themselves. Or they are just badly brought up. What ever the reasons are they can be difficult to deal with. Specially when you have to focus. I would take some light sweet music with me and after asking them politely to keep it down. Pop your head phones on and learn to meditate. It can be so very helpful to actually hear your own thoughts and even your own heart beat. In the craziness of all that is around you to crate self awareness and remain in the light is a very powerful thing. Remember Not to get angry. Or upset. If you focus on the disfunction of others that is what is going to be your central focus. that is what will pull from within you. and that is what you too will finally project. So take your mind away from it all. Detract the chaos and attract the light.
Having a deference of opinion
It is healthy to have diverse views and sometimes it will help you see another’s perspective of a matter. This can to some extend enhance our own awareness in a good way. However it is important to see how appropriate this other view may be. Look at it from a bigger picture. If it helps, then conform, however if it only detracts, gently speak your mind on it.
This may not always work…..
Now you may have a defiant boss that thinks that they know it all. ( and maybe they do, as we know even when the boss is wrong he is right)Then sometimes you have to place your values and your opinions on the shelf. ( just on that matter ) It is better to embrace their truth for that particular matter or else we end up getting really angry and that will bring about some negative energies from us. Frustration, or feeling totally angry in the mind will only take away from your good energy and direction. It will make you less productive and leave you totally tired and unproductive. Not good.
So the growing thought is simple.
Learning to accept the situation from a more practical point of view will help.
Ask your self these questions.
- why am I in this work situation?
- What is my main priority?
- How are my finances?
- Apart from this one thing, am I happy?
- Will it truly hurt my spirit to be in agreement my your boss?
Sometimes it is better to agree to disagree. It happens. No two people see the same color the same way. This form of deference is what makes our inner spirit grow and advance. If we were always the same there would be not reason to think or to find ways to improve our positions. There fore amicable disagreements are healthy.
Create beauty with color and music.
Sometimes it is important to be definitive in your mind about your own space. Ask your self what you truly love, or what really makes you tick. Maybe it is a color. Or maybe it is a verse of some sort. Maybe even a picture . Take it with you to your work place. Make it a screen saver if you don’t have space. It helps to rivet to it when you are feeling a little upset . You must do this mindfully. Being aware of how you are feeling and how you are wanting to feel. Focussing on what you really love and speaking to your mind over and over again as to why you love, this will change the energy of your thought patterns. To a more self healing place.
Change the atmosphere, chance the focus
Leave the place of unrest for a little while. Take a walk. Maybe even round the block if you have to. Breath deep and de stress. Speak to the birds and vent your frustrations in to the universe if you have to. It does help to talk it out. Sometimes even to yourself. When we speak out loud it is like the air of purification begins to come in and the anger begins to de-solve.
Keep away from focussing on the person that is not in your favorite book- for the day.
Take your mind way from him or her, and before you come back to him or her juts bring them into a practical perspective. Ask your self. Why are you here? and then why are they there. Make it just a practical situation and NOT an personal thing. It is sometimes hard to do when you have a lot of self thought invested in your work. But remember that the most important thing is your progress. and so Keep that clearly in front of your eyes
Look at your use fullness.
Remember that what you are here to be and do. Remember the Good works. No remember the Great works you were meant to do. and bring your level of reality to that which is on the bigger picture. Sometimes we may get a little pebble in our shoe. We just need to take that shoe off for a while let the pebble drop and put your shoe right back on.
Your Attitude
A dear friend of mind keeps saying” Attitude is everything” he is right. If your attitude is rattled to a point that you are upset and angry my dear friends it is you that is hurting you. Ask your self . Is it worth it? Nope ! it is not. There is great energy and light and learning with a joyful, restful and gracious heart. Remembering that is vital. Your spirit and energy is governed by that. ( mostly) So be nice to you.
Keep things simple, keep things real. Remember why you are hear.
Life can be simple and joyful and immensely rewarding. But we have to work just a little to make it so. To begin our journey let us open our inner mind to a deeper awareness.
God Bless us and keep us as beautiful spiritual beings. Ever evolving to become more beautiful each day. At work and at play.
Blessed be.
