Living Easy
I was having a discussion yesterday with a few people, and I was
explaining to them how we are the one and only cause of all stress in
our lives. None of them agreed with me.
One lady pointed out that she had no control over her stress when she
was taking care of her dying husband, then his death was even more
stressful. She also pointed out that the man sitting in front of her
was taking care of his ailing wife and he had no control over the
stress this causes.
Well, it doesn’t matter what either of these people think, but it is
absolutely true that we are the one and only cause of all the stress in
our lives. No matter what the situation, we have the control to be
either stressed or not. It’s all just a matter of choice.
You see, the woman that took care of her dying husband only felt stress
because of her thoughts about the whole situation. I’m sure that she
experiencd a myriad of emotions during this time. However, it was her
choice to experience these emotions.
One thing that she was probably stressing about was the fact that she
was losing her husband. Which is perfectly normal for anyone in that
situation. But could this be “handled” differently with a more pleasant
outcome? It sure can.
What this woman is actually doing is focusing on “her loss”. Get that?
HER loss. She isn’t thinking that her husband is making a glorious
transition to the Spirit plane, but instead she’s thinking of herself.
Now granted, she may feel sympathy towards her husband since he
lingered on for quite some time, but does that mean she had to get
stressed about it? Not at all.
When you look at death honestly and realize that all it is is a process
everyone must go through in order to evolve to a higher plane of
existence, death no longer has the “fear factor” that is so often
associated with it. When you look at death in this way, you can only
conclude that the individual is truly better off because they have
evolved beyond our physical plane.
So if you look at the death of someone as being a stressful, emotion
filled experience, then you must remember that you are only thinking of
yourself. You THINK you are concerned about the death of this person,
but in all actuality you are more concerned about the void created in
your life by this person’s death. Isn’t that a bit selfish?
And really, when everyone goes back to the home of the individual, and
mopes around with a “Woe is ME!” attitude, isn’t that wallowing in our
own self-pity? Shouldn’t we instead celebrate the life of this person
and their successful transition? Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to
have a big party with everyone having a good time, toasting the life of
the individual?
That’s what I’d rather have, and although I haven’t discussed it with
my wife yet, I know she will respect my wishes and have a big blow-out
party. Yes, celebrate that I have made my transition! Celebrate the
time I had here on earth! Celebrate the accomplishments I’ve
experienced! CELEBRATE, CELEBRATE, CELEBRATE!
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that I’m looking forward to
death any time soon. Oh no, not at all. I personally feel I have much
work to do here on Earth, and that I have only just begun with it all.
So do you effectively “handle” stress? Do people at work really
irritate you? Are you easily irritated? And how do you look at death?
Is it something stressful? Or is it a joyous transitional experience
that should be celebrated? Would you like to learn how better to
“handle” the stress you experience? Would you like to find out how to
be at peace with yourself and all around you? Then go HERE to find out how you can do that.
