I\u2019ve always thought of entertainment as a pleasurable activity. I go to movies to laugh or watch a good story. I like to walk out of the theater feeling good. Recently I saw Stomp<\/strong> and practically danced all the way home. Music lifts my soul. I like different genres for different moods but music always puts me into a great mood. And a great mood facilitates raising my vibration to manifest more.<\/p>\n

Yet many people indulge in entertainment that brings their mood down. Sad movies leave them feeling sad after. Some movies and TV shows are downright depressing! I don\u2019t consider that entertainment if it makes you feel bad. I do understand it, since I used to indulge in entertainment that left me feeling depressed, another element that kept me stuck in DoorMatville.<\/p>\n

I think for me, watching the problems of others took my mind off of my own. There\u2019s a perverse comfort in watching the struggles of others when you\u2019re struggling too.\u00a0 I felt that. But it\u2019s unhealthy comfort and reinforces feeling depressed, sad, disappointed and\/or hopeless. All of that sends a negative vibration to the Law of Attraction and guess what you attract? More things that make you feel negative!<\/p>\n

I had the opportunity to see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for free but passed. I know it was a bestselling book and the movie is supposed to be good. But I also knew how upset seeing the violent rape and other scenes would leave me feeling. I no longer consider anything that brings my vibration down as entertainment like I used to. I prefer to keep mine as positive as possible so I can manifest more good stuff.<\/p>\n

Years ago, when I\u2019d break up with a boyfriend, I\u2019d play sad songs over and over, and cry as I sang along with the heartbreaking lyrics. It prolonged the pain of breaking up and made healing harder. Music helped me wallow in misery, which sent a message to the Universe that I wanted to be miserable. As I became more empowered, I realized how counterproductive that was to being happy. When my next breakup happened, instead of playing music that reflected my pain, I played upbeat songs that picked up my mood and added to my self-empowerment.<\/p>\n

It told the Universe that my happiness was more important than the guy who\u2019d hurt me. That reinforced allowed me to build stronger self-love.<\/p>\n

Love yourself enough to limit negative entertainment. Become more aware of how you feel after watching a depressing movie or listening to sad songs. If the feelings linger, do something positive to change your vibration. You owe it to yourself to keep your vibration as high as possible. Monitor any negatives you consciously allow in your life. If you love those kinds of movies, find ways to balance your mood after so you send a positive vibe that the Law of Attraction can respond to.<\/p>\n

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start & Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2711","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2711"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2711\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2944,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2711\/revisions\/2944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2711"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
