Hello Loves!

Can anyone tell me why pessimism ranks higher than frustration?

I have a general vibration between anger and frustration and irritation.. Closer to the latter. YEA!
And this is on something I used to feel helpless..so I am very pleased with myself! he he

But when I consider the idea of pessimism , it feels much worse.. and then going back down to helpless. so yuck!

I sure would appreciate your assistance on this!

the better I get at deliberate creating, my vib. setpoint gets higher on most subjects... and it also feels as if I zoom up the EGS with a simple, "F-it!" more often than not.

I feel like frustration is more specifically negative; it's more specific to your experience. "I've been trying to do this/get this thing and I can't!" and it feels active. Almost like "acutely aware of wanting something and being aware why you can't have it"

Pessimism feels generally negative and chronic, but a little more "passive"..like, "I guess that's how life goes. Seems like nobody can get this. "

JMHO..

Of course you can, if you want to! The only thing that would stop you is.... a thought! Isn't that marvelous?????

[treelotus]

Thanks, Bev.


To me, it feels worse to say "I guess that's how life goes." as if life is supposed to be disappointing.

I can go with this thought..

....well, sometimes shit happens, but it will all work out...


but that isn't pessimistic, to me anyways.

Anyone else? I am really wanting more clarity on this.

Also, I love that I feel more frustrated right now. It truly is a much better feeling than helpless or overwhelmed.
Part of what keeps me out of the lower vibrations is that I am mostly rooted in the truth that Source has a way of working everything out for me.. and trusting the stream of life and myself.
Remembering who I am.

Pessimism just doesn't fit in there for me.
So, I guess based on the basic law of getting happy. I won't aim to find pessimism.

My grid I want to form and fill in...in a step by step fashion then would be
positive expectation and belief..
sprinkle in some enthusiasm , eagerness and happiness

That feels mighty fine!

ANd I'll take Joy and Appreciation any day.. that fills me every moment as there is so much to appreciate!
Like... Sooooo Much!!!

Interesting regarding pessimism. I guess I felt that was the word associated with "F it". Like, eh, who cares, I give up, it won't happen so F it. Then it moves into boredom, like, I'm so tired of thinking about this stupid thing that I won't even think about it anymore, it's so boooring. Then into contentment of well, everything is pretty good here as it is, so I can just chill out in my now. Just my take on it.
