If you can just take a moment, take a break, and take a breath, it affords you the opportunity to respond, instead of react. It is when we react that we often find ourselves in regret.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/395\/2016\/06\/bnenergeticpatterning.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-579\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/395\/2016\/06\/bnenergeticpatterning.jpg\" alt=\"bnenergeticpatterning\" width=\"631\" height=\"379\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The angels remind me during times when I witness discord on the earth plane that I always have choice in how I respond to whatever the energy is. I can be helpful with sending productive energy, or I can keep filling an already emotionally charged situation with more of the same. Should I choose to do nothing I am increasing the likelihood of it getting bigger and or repeating itself over and over again as the energy plays out it course. When something happens around you that provokes an unwanted emotional response, that is to say, something that makes you feel sad, scared, angry, or worried, that is when it is most important for you to take a break, take a breath, and recentre yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Early this morning my neighbours, who seem to be having a bit of rough time lately, were arguing loudly with each other. I decided that instead of waiting for it to escalate into something else, I would stop what I was doing and go inside and help. I choose to light a candle and say a prayer and remind them of how much they truly love each other and to stop, take break, take a breath and then respond.\u00a0I then took a few minutes and\u00a0beamed them all the particles of love I could send from my heart. A short time later I saw one of them leave. I do think that was truly the best choice at that moment for them.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Your angel guidance for today is:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Remember that you have always have a choice how you respond. Ask yourself what thoughts and feelings you would like to put out into the mass consciousness and watch grow? What is the legacy of energetic patterning you would like to leave and then act from there!<\/p>\n<p>Tons of love, Sharon and the angels xoxox<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.playingwiththeuniverse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.playingwiththeuniverse.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/angelguidance\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/angelguidance<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes life can seem a bit overwhelming and sometimes it isn&#8217;t even about you, you are just reacting to the energy around you.
