Getting the best out of you!

 Have you ever been around someone at work who’s really high strung, stressed out and goes a mile a minute? And have you noticed your “energy” after being around this person for a while? Maybe after you left the vicinity of this person, you noticed that you were moving at a faster rate and felt anxious.
   On the contrary, have you ever been around someone so peaceful and centered that you felt more peaceful and centered? (I feel more centered after just listening to an audio of Eckhart Tolle).
We reflect one another’s energy.
So it’s important that we project into the world what we want to have as our experience. If we want calm and peace, it’s important to project that energy.
 From the perspective of Eckhart Tolle (Author of Power of Now) if I’m reacting to a situation, I am “unconscious.” And that same unconsciousness is the cause of all violence and suffering.
   So when I hear about a “negative” event on the news, which is the result of unconsciousness, and I “react” to it by getting all wound up (which is also unconsciousness), I am only adding to the problem .
   The change in our world will come from a shift in consciousness (from unconsciousness to consciousness). Lasting, true change will come from a shift in our energy. 
    Do we want to be part of the problem, or do we want to be part of the solution?
   Once I had this realization that my “reactivity” could be adding to the problem of “unconsciousness” or “negativity” I began to shift my energy. I went to that “calm state.”
   Now I can act from this place. If I am upset about a situation, I can work to change it from that place of being, rather than from a reactive state.
   That way I’m not adding my “reactive” or “unconscious” energy into the situation. And when we all “act” from a place of calm, centeredness, what will our world be like?
   Can we be “people whisperers” and bring our calm, peaceful energy into the world and transform our life situations?
