This post is all about mastering intensity in life. We’ve all struggled with feeling uninspired or overwhelmed at times. You’ll learn how to overcome these impairing energies by managing intensity and finding your flow in life. You’ll discover the tricks to mastering intensity and be able to create the focus and clarity you need to attract what you want.
Finding Your Flow by Mastering Intensity
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by intensity, or perhaps wished you could crank things up a notch? Today, my friend, Spirit’s directing us to explore the power and potential pitfalls of intensity.
Intensity: A Double-Edged Sword
Intensity is a force to be reckoned with. It amplifies both our thoughts and emotions, making them incredibly powerful. Notice how it can work for us or against us. Life is always cyclical with its ebbs and flows of energy. All’s well when things are positive, but when they’re negative, look out!
The Power of Focus: Directing and Diffusing Intensity
The good news is, we have the ability to manage intensity through focus. By zeroing in and focusing our attention, we can concentrate and intensify our energy, propelling us towards goals. Conversely, widening our focus diffuses the intensity and creates a sense of calm.
The Chemistry of Intensity: Hormones and Energy
The different emotions trigger all kinds of different hormonal, chemical, and physical reactions within the body. Be aware that by allowing the high stress hormones that flood the body when things are intense to continue and be your norm will cause serious health problems over time. It doesn’t have to be just emotionally generated intensity either. The same thing can happen as a result of the regular, excessive consumption of the various stimulant drugs, which, by the way, includes caffeine.
Our Emotions' Purpose: Don't Shoot the Messenger!
There are times when our emotions get the better of us. But let’s be clear, the emotions in and of themselves aren’t bad. They’re simply delivering a message. We all appreciate the feeling a positive emotion generates. But our inability to control the negative emotions can be debilitating and scary.
Mastering Intensity: Emotions are Motivating
This doesn’t have to be the case. Learning how to decipher the messages our emotions carry is the key to transforming not just our emotional state in the moment, but our lives overall. By honoring the emotion and determining the core issue generating the emotion, we’ll be able to clear the emotional charge, address that issue, and change our lives for the better.
The Law of Attraction: Intense Energy Attracts Intense Experiences
Notice also that when your emotions are supercharged the energy emanating from your body is amplified. The Law of Attraction is a universal law which states that like attracts like. You will be attracting experiences that mirror the emotional, energetic state that you’re projecting. Said another way, what you put out is what you’ll get back.
Embrace the Spectrum: From Extremes to Clarity
The gift of the life we’re living here on this physical plane is that we get to experience everything–the good, the bad, and the ugly. That includes the high intensity of the extremes, both the positives and the negatives. While they’re intense, the extremes help us find clarity, and clarity, especially when you’ve been confused, is a gift. Always keep in mind that you have the power to widen back, becomee an observer, and not get caught up in the fray.
The Art of Intensity: Matching Your Energy to Your Needs
So recognize that you get to generate a high intensity energy or a low intensity energy. When you want things to move faster and fiercer, focus your attention and zero in. When you want things to slow down and soften, take some deep breaths and widen back. Consciously disconnect. What’s the appropriate or most effective intensity for you to bring to your efforts today?
Embrace the power of mindful focus, and navigate the waves of intensity with grace and intention. Remember, you are the conductor of your own energy.
I hope this post has helped you discover ways to master intensity and create focus, clarity, and the ability to attract what you want.
