6. I pay attention to where I put my focus

As trouble, drama, chaos and even suffering swirls all around, I choose to stay aware of it rather than remove myself or attempt to "rise above."

In order to not be pulled into a downward spiral of despair as a result of being aware, I remind myself to focus on how to be of service...positive action...rather than stay immersed in the negativity.

For those familiar with Abraham's messages, one last week confirmed this for me:

"If you intend to be of assistance, your eye is not upon the trouble but upon the assistance, and that is quite different. When you are looking for a solution, you are feeling positive emotion— but when you are looking at a problem, you are feeling negative emotion."

It really is like flexing a muscle. I'm finding this ability to focus and maintain that perspective comes more easily than it did previously.
