Your Manifestations Are Hiding Behind Your Unresolved Pain
Integrate the negative to infuse the power into your better interpretations
The capacity to re-frame circumstances so that you arrive at an interpretation that inspires ease, trust, and motivation is a super power. Re-framing discouraging thoughts into insights that are forward moving is synonymous with the ability to re-experience reality.
However, re-framing, like all powerful tools, must be wielded carefully. The re-framing impulse is useful only when it’s paired with the willingness to integrate the negative emotions you want to re-envision.
Without the desire to understand your darker emotions, they persist in the background and generate resistance that slowly but surely corrodes those positive re-frames you’re attempting to cultivate. Here’s why.
Agreeing to one emotion is an agreement with its inverse
Embedded within every experience, emotion, or perspective is its opposite. For instance, a relationship wouldn’t be meaningful if you didn’t feel the sting of disagreement about consequential subjects. The desire to pursue a particular path or subject is potent to the degree that its absence is painful, and so forth.
