Clean Out the Sh*t in Your Internal Basement with High Vibe
What do you do when life works out differently than you hoped?
Does it feel like once something goes wrong, everything goes wrong?
Do you get caught up in complaining, or do you step back and look for the good?
What you feel is what you attract. The Universe gives you experiences that match your feelings because it thinks that’s what you want.
When you are high vibe, you attract these experiences more easily. Sometimes this means you attract experiences that match your yummy feelings easily, and other times you attract your other, less-desirable feelings easily.
So, what are you attracting? Well, what you focus on is what you get. So, be careful what you talk about, and your feelings associated with it.
An example of this happened recently to one of my daughters, who has a habit of complaining. Luckily, she has trained herself to be grateful and high vibe, but sometimes she slips back into the old habit.
As soon as we started planning a family vacation, she started voicing her opinion, and it wasn't with excitement and a sense of looking forward to spending time with her siblings, which I know she values.
As the trip got closer, people slowly started adjusting their leave time since it was a driving distance for everyone. My daughter struggles with changing plans, and this put her in a place of complaining about the vacation. When she started to complain, she subconsciously broadcasted to the Universe, “This is what I’m feeling, and I’m looking for more things that match these feelings.”
Well, she attracted just that. My son who was staying with her tested positive for COVID-19 right before leaving for our vacation. Instead of joining us for the vacation, they spent their time quarantining.
To make matters worse, the sewage in her basement flooded twice in two days. So she and a friend cleaned her basement both times and then they were able to stay at my house since we were gone.
So, what happened?
Think of your subconscious as the basement of a house.
By complaining, you are lowering your vibration. Your vibrations are out of sync and not working cohesively. There are tree roots in the clay pipes of your subconscious. Because of this, your basement can become filled with sh*t (for her, literally).
Now, she is a very positive person, but she lowered her vibe temporarily. When the Universe showed her what she was attracting, she had a choice. She could choose to stay in that low vibe by complaining about having to work harder than ever before cleaning her basement with a friend's help and taking care of her brother. Or she could choose something different.
She chose to be high vibe and intentionally raised her vibe by meditating before getting to work. Yes, she was tired from all the cleaning and fetching things for her brother. But she chose something different in that moment. And it was easier than ever before for her to deal with the change in plans. That's a win.
9 Ways to Clean Out the Sh*t in Your Internal Basement with High Vibe
Take responsibility for your life. For my daughter, she recognized that she was responsible and reclaimed her power by choosing something different.
Change your point of view. Stop complaining, moaning, and groaning. Start looking for things to be grateful for. She stopped complaining and returned to her high vibe state of gratitude.
Look for what is right about a situation. She felt accomplished (and tired). She now knows she can handle something big.
Look for the golden moments in each moment. She had my house to move into while dealing with things.
Breathe deeply often. She focused on her breathing through meditation.
Think positive thoughts AND feel positive about those thoughts. She found the positive in the situation and focused on feeling those yummy feelings she wants to attract.
Look for the happy in this moment. Don’t let anyone or anything rob you of your happy. She could’ve continued complaining, letting the situation rob her of her happy. Instead, she chose something else that does work for her.
Let go of all the stuff that doesn’t matter. Any feeling that pops up, give yourself permission to let it go. You don’t have to hold onto the feeling. You can let it go. Just because she lowered her vibe temporarily, she was willing to let that go and choose something different.
Do things to center yourself and calm down. Meditate. Journal. Do Qigong or Tai Chi. For her, she chose meditation before getting to work.
So, the next time you start complaining, remember to stop or you may have sh*t in your basement.
Refocus on the love and appreciation you have about the situation. It may be a challenge to do this at first, but it is worth it. It’s your choice if you want to clean out the sewage in your internal basement.
By the way, although she is disappointed in missing the trip, she is finding the positive in this situation. The rest of us had a great week, and my son is on the mend.
