This morning, my husband asked me how to deal with a situation with one of his students, who was being a political zealot. This person was being dramatic about a situation and it was really irritating my husband and he felt it was not appropriate for the classroom. Without hesitation I said ” Don’t react. Change the subject and do not react.”

Neville Goddard wrote that non-reaction means to not emotionally respond to external events or people, as your reaction is essentially feeding intend perpetuating the unwanted situation. Instead focus on maintaining a calm state of detachment and consciously choose the reality you want to experience by using your imagination.

When we find ourselves in a bad energy situation, the very best thing we can do is stay calm and have no reaction. Be prepared for your non reaction to be infuriating to some people, but still remain nonreactive even if they are obviously angry with you. Focus on how you want to feel. Use your imagination at night to recreate your day to go the way you wanted it to. Vibrate to the feelings you want to feel.

Be careful of social media. Just scrolling for a few minutes exposes you to so many opinions, problems and drama. Don’t react! Don’t give into the fear and lies the world is trying to feed you. If you want to have life and live it abundantly, to the top until it overflows, you can choose to do that. Don’t react to the chaos around you and it will eventually fade away.

The law of assumption states that whatever you assume to be true becomes your reality. We must not emotionally react to that which we do not desire. I realize this is much easier for me to type than for you to do. Believe me, harnessing my own reactions is an ongoing work in progress, but I can tell I’m getting better at it.

More that anything, non-reaction is a great exercise in just being aware! Aware of not reacting, aware of how you are feeling and aware of the power within you to control how you respond.

Living your best life is a beautiful journey. Choose the higher vibration feelings of love, joy and gratitude. Know that all is well and everything is working for your good.
