Baseline State of Neutrality & Toxic Positivity

An experience at the gym reminded me of the possibilities for people to twist and abuse certain teachings to disassociate from the world, disregard one’s feelings, and to live with rose-colored glasses.

Understanding the power of Generating Inner Calmness and to live in a Baseline State of Neutrality are both key aspects to navigating this Realm while tuned into Spirit. To find ways to cultivate a sense of Well-Being from Within Self rather than relying on an external source. To release stored negative emotions within the body while resisting urges to fall back to old habits of living in severe, negative emotions.

Navigating this Realm will lead us to people, places, experiences, and the like which will affect our Emotional State. Healthy “Negative” Emotions are Useful to keep us safe and to protect what we love…to maintain our Healthy Boundaries. It would be impossible to not dip into the pool of those emotions.

The Key is to Allow those Negative Emotions to run their course…to not hold onto them…to let them breathe out of the Mind/Body/Spirit. To Healthily Release and Contain those Emotions to avoid creating Disastrous Ripple Effects.

I was at the gym and I parked myself on a treadmill next to a person. I thought I avoided the gang of old men who yell the entire time on the treadmill. Well…I was wrong. Another person came to the treadmill area to speak to the person on the treadmill beside me for the entire 55 minutes of my morning exercise. The two of them were talking so loudly that I couldn’t block out their voices even with my noise-cancelling earbuds!

The two of them were so loud that I really wanted to ask them to either stop talking because they’re being so rude or to get off the treadmill to the lobby of the gym to talk.

My ANNOYANCE was not “Bad” because it was my Reaction to the two.

Now! Toxic Positivity…oh boy. I could have disregarded how I felt. I could have decided to scold myself for being annoyed at them. I could have tried to talk myself into Perceiving this situation as everything was good and dandy and no reason to be aggravated.

I contained my Emotions and I decided to not React in a way that would be Harmful to myself. I was Cognizant and Aware and I did not Unconsciously React Negatively.

I think it can be quite difficult trying to follow certain works to believe that 100% of the day must be in “Bliss”. I don’t think that is the point of maintaining one’s vibration.

I feel like we are to Maintain a Baseline State of Neutrality which is to live primarily throughout our day in a Calmness. To be Cognizant of how we React and Respond to situations and our thoughts.

In the gym example, it would be different if I had a Baseline State of Anger where I would naturally be responding to those two people via actions that were fueled by anger. I was just annoyed and aggravated. Then…I returned home from the gym and those emotions subsided, ran their course, and left my system.

It can be tricky. Should I have told myself it was completely okay for them two to speak so loudly and be rude to everyone else? Should I have decided to think and feel love for those two despite their behavior? Should I have tried to feel my way into making them be quiet? NO and NO and NO.

Now take it to scenarios where someone is living in an abusive relationship. Should the abused person try to think positively about the situation to disregard what is occurring and to disassociate? To think positively about the abuser to rationalize the behavior? NO and NO.

Think positively would be wise for the abused person to find the Self-Esteem, Confidence, Strength, and Courage to Act on Inspiration which would lead the abused person out of the abusive relationship and into safety.

These teachings can be so tricky if one doesn’t come to them with maturity and wisdom.

Majority of my day is in a Baseline State of Neutrality, Calmness, Peace. I do not React Extremely to the world. My annoyance with the two loud people at the gym was not a “bad vibration” to live in.

Toxic Positivity is harmful if the person uses positive thinking to try to talk oneself out of ignoring the harm in one’s surroundings and the actions of others or harmful actions of self.

It is the Generate Feelings and Thoughts of Positivity to have the Self-Esteem, Strength, Courage, and Confidence to be in a safe environment, to work toward building a wonderful life, to release the past, and to find a way to Evolve.
