Reframing what I know as emotional responses

This morning I woke up and was already thinking of Anna's talk on how there are no emotions, they're all constructs. And as I thought about how we create our emotional responses rather than have them against our will, I realized that the frustration, resentment, and disappointment I've been feeling towards someone lately can easily be reframed to gratitude. Their change in behavior has given me so many gifts that I wasn't fully acknowledging. I was aware of these gifts and even grateful for them, though not acknowledging them fully enough to release the negativity I was sending out.

I woke up thinking of these things because they were also on my mind and heart last night, though I hadn't yet come to that conclusion. I had consciously decided that as I was falling asleep I would visualize my pink heart energy reaching directly to theirs with unconditional love and acceptance, gratitude, and peace, connecting us. This filled me with gratitude for the gifts this experience has given me in this moment and all month.

During a long meditation this morning that was my focus again. My energy has certainly been buoyed by this tide!
