Magnificent Women Are Peaceful

Fear, anger and blame are emotions that can destroy us mentally, spiritually and physically. These emotions, if not properly dealt with, eventually manifest in destroyed relationships and our own physical disease. As women we tend to harbor our emotions, hold on to them and allow them to consume us and everything in our path. We dwell on those emotions because we feel justified in them and someone else has to pay for making us feel the way we do.

But what we feel is our own perception of reality and not justifiable. Our emotions are not caused by someone else. We chose them, consciously or unconsciously, as a response to circumstances and situations. When circumstances and people come into our lives that cause us to feel negative emotions we get to choose how we respond and how long we hold on to those emotions. When we respond to others in negative emotions such as anger, judgment, accusation we give our power over to the circumstance and we become attached to the feelings that come with it. We can choose to respond in anger, fueling the fire, or we can respond in love and acceptance.

When we change our perception of the circumstance and take responsibility for our responses, the negative emotions we have attached to it simply disappear. The anger, blame, guilt and shame are diffused and we are at peace with ourselves and the situation.

Magnificent Women are at peace with themselves and the world around them knowing that all conflict can be resolved with love, understanding and forgiveness. They have learned how to respond to circumstances with complete awareness, always asking themselves “how can I respond to this in a way that is best for myself and others?” They understand the destructive force of negative emotions and they choose peace.
