What if you carried around an imaginary plug with you? Any time you need a boost of confidence you could take your plug and plug it into a wall full of confidence. Immediately you would feel an inner smile, stand taller with softened shoulders, and feel like 'you got this!' Or if you need some courage, you could plug into your wall of courage, and envision feeling a surge of courage flowing through you, 'you can do it!' The walls are limitless - why not try humour, compassion, kindness?
Alternately you could do the reverse. When someone is causing you to feel upset, you could imagine unplugging from their wall, feeling the disconnected plug in your hand, disengaged from the negative energy. They may continue but you feel peaceful, wisely having chosen to unplug. Perhaps you find you need some quiet and rest from all the negative news. Imagine unplugging from the noise. As you breathe in feel the difference, let the quiet bringing you back to balance.
Your plug is very portable and always with you. Practice unplugging from the lower vibrations such as anger, gossip, complaining, unhelpful comments, and plug into the higher vibrations of life that make you and others feel good, gratitude, empathy, joy, love, and peace. Let those vibrations flow! Everyone including you benefits when you do.
Imagery is Powerful! The more you use your plug the more powerful it is. Have fun with your plug and notice how it works.
