Wow, It Really Keeps Increasing!
Submitted by: Shaila Yas
Sydney, AustraliaI'm Shaila Yasmin a web developer and medical scientist from Sydney. I believe that all the events in our lives are interconnected snd the natural laws are the secret codes to live by to have a streamlined, flavorful life experience.
So, a few days ago, I was feeling restless as my mind was racing with thoughts. I just could not stop the conversation in my mind. And the backstory is that someone I encountered was complaining about how miserable life was and was not ready to listen to me to see things from a different perspective. Anyway, I could not ignore that interaction in my mind since I cared about the person so much. So, I thought to stop my mind’s chatter, I would just go to sleep and it was early evening. But I couldn’t even sleep because of the noise in my head. Actually, I was blaming that person for me feeling bad.
Then I remembered that saying about when you are feeling gratitude, you can not have negative emotions at the same time. So, I thought I would just pick one wonderful thing that happened and feel grateful for that.
So, the recent roll-out of NSW Dine & Discover Voucher came to my mind. I started feeling grateful about how awesome it is to receive $100 vouchers from NSW and that I could pick my favourite restaurant. Then I was feeling light and euphoric, and I fell asleep.
When I woke up, I was feeling better and the mind chatter wasn’t there. I picked up my phone to check the time and I thought I would have a look at my Facebook. Then I found the first news on the newsfeed which was that NSW is going to roll out $100 lunch vouchers once again only to use on Fridays! Haha!
Now, I’m not saying because of my gratitude, NSW started rolling out new vouchers but my point is that I am not usually aware of these things. I knew about the previous vouchers quite late. But this time, I was aligned so much that the momentum led me to encounter more of the same! So, I realized that ‘if you give thanks, you will more of the same’, really does work. But that feeling of being thankful has to be really and genuinely felt in your heart to the point that you feel lighter and joyful.
May Y’all be blessed!
