Last Saturday we flew to Chicago O’Hare. College tour with my Sagey girl. ❤️
Sunday morning as I looked for my AirPods my stomach dropped.
“Gulp.” I left ‘em on the plane in that little seat pouch. 🤭😬😮😳
I had a choice in that moment. I could choose to feel like **** and beat myself up - or I could be in contrast and say, “Ok, this is contrast and I choose to find a better feeling thought.”
➡️This is Step 5. ⬅️
Step 1: You ask (contrast).
Step 2: It’s given (not your job).
Step 3: You allow it (by feeling good).
Step 4: Get really good at Step 3.
Step 5: Be in contrast and don’t beat yourself up. Be light about it.
When Sagey woke up I told her. She was kind and compassionate.
“It’s all good!” I said. “It’s just a material thing. I will attract more money to buy another pair. I have a choice and I choose to feel good now and distract myself from this by focusing on other stuff.”
What I taught my daughter was worth a lot more than a pair of AirPods.
Later at breakfast I told Sagey, “Something really good is gonna come from this. And, I’m happy I left my AirPods in the seat pouch instead of my iPhone.”
Everything is relative and you always have a choice about your perspective. Your power lies in how good you feel and how well you maintain that feeling. This is your true power.
