Can you do one where Law is supposed to be a strict (but right) King and he is secretly in love with Kid who is a knight who respect him a lot (and a bit afraid of him). And Law act like a little girl in love when he think/saw Kid and nobody is looking. Please ! Love ya like always !
My dear, you can ask as many proposals as you like :D Love ya too
Kid x Law - FF - King And Knight
The black-hairedman sighed.It had been a stupid idea. He should not have got Kid into the direct Kingsguard. For a knight, it was a great honor to serve the king directly and toprotect his life directly… but Law could not concentrate anymore.He chuckled as he watched the redhead give instructions to the other knights.Yes, Law had given him authority. That only seemed right to him. Kid could notgo wrong. That was not possible.Law blushed a bit as he sat on the throne watching Kid. It was forbidden. Whathe did here was forbidden. The whole people were already talking about whytheir king had no queen and fathered some male heirs. But Law was notinterested. Neither to a wife nor to children. He was much more interested inKid…How would it be if Kid kissed him…? Oh, men must have had some sort of sex,even if they could not father children. He would like to find out…“Your Majesty, are you ready?”Kids voice sounded and Law saved himself from daydreaming.The redhead’s gaze was iron and ready for anything. As if he was ready to givehis life for Law every second.…hah, so male.The black-haired man sat upright again and took the crown, which lay on a redcushion beside his throne. He pulled it on the black hair and took a deepbreath. The blush wiped from his cheeks and Law’s facial expressions becameserious and stern. As it always was… if he did not think about Kid.“Yes, you can let them in.”With that the knights opened the big gates of the throne room and the firstones came in. First, the fine landlords and estate ladies and at the very end,if there was still time left, the poor peasant folk.Once a week, the doors of the throne room were opened for four to five hours.The people of the kingdom could come, express their thanks, their requests ortheir cares.Law had already changed a lot in this tradition. Whenhis father had reigned as king, the throne room was opened only for an hour amonth and that only for the people of rule. Law’sadvisors had strongly discouraged him from receiving farmers. Theywould be the most ungrateful, would drag disease and sheer complaint into thecastle. ButLaw had not listened to his advisers.Andto his great surprise, the common people were the ones who brought the most importantconcerns. Theycould tell him better than his advisers, whether the harvest was bad, thehunger was too great, or the diseases could no longer be kept in the fence.Luckily,the plague was not yet a major issue in their ranks, but if the plague alsomoved to their country, Law would have to close its doors forever. He knew that. After all, he hadreally begotten no heirs. Ifhe died, the kingdom would fall to his uncle in the north. And his unclewas a domineering, dark man. Lawdid not want to do that to his people under any circumstances.Especiallybecause Law for his fairness was really popular among the people. The simple, as well as thelandowners.The hours passed and the worries got bigger. It was the agonizinghunger, as so often. Unfortunately, the land of the kingdom was surrounded bymany marshes and bogs. Although perfect against enemies, this landscape wasunbearable for the people. As soon as it rained for just a few days, the swampswould poison the surrounding soil and kill the crop.Law wanted to sigh and bury his face in his hands, but that would not be worthyof a king. He sat upright, listening to the suffering of a plaintive peasantwoman and promising to take care of the problem.Then she left the throne room, thankful, crying.Law could feel exactly how the eyes of his treasurer pierced his side. Yes,they knew that Law intended to buy food from the kingdom’s money instead ofincreasing the weapons arena. But that was the only right decision.A king without a people would not be a king.The hours passed and people came and went before Law announced after five hoursthat it was enough. Withinminutes, his knights had closed the gates again and Kid stood by his side.Hisface was worried when he looked at Law and the black-haired man smiled briefly.If only the world wasthat easy. Itwould only be okay if you have a husband as a spouse. Then Law would be happy.Butthat was not the moment to think about it. Theblack-haired man shook his head, got up from his throne and walked over to hisadvisors. Theysat at a round table and then they discussed what was being heard.Cumbersome. It was just tedious.Lawhad already exchanged many members of his round table since he had taken overthe crown, but many were still friends of his father.Old,stubborn men you could not convince of modern decisions. Law had to order everything.Kid stood behind him again and watched. Along with another knight, Lawhad to admit that he did not even know his name. He only thought about Kid. Heleft it entirely in the hands of the redhead to administer the knights. Even ifhis advisors advised him against it.The hours passed and it was already very late when the session ended.Law, as always, had much opposition to his decisions. But that’s not why hewould not be deterred! He would take care of his people and do some thingsbetter than his father. That was for sure.Only when Law got up did the other members of his council rise. Law went to hischambers without any ado. His head hurt. He had had enough of this long, heavyday.Law heard Kid instruct the other knight to take care of the others as Kid Lawfollowed up the stairs.…he was alone with Kid.The black-haired man could not stop himself from blushing and butterfliesfluttering in his stomach. He heard exactly how the heavy iron boots Lawfollowed up the stairs.‘Alone’ was almost impossible in such a big castle. They kept coming pastknights keeping watch. But Law was the same. For him, it felt like being alone.Appropriate to his rank, Kid was silent. They got into the corridor where Law’schambers lay and the black-haired one asked:“Do you have a wife and children, Sir Eustass?”Actually it was not possible. Law would have known. Where Kid also had somehours of free time. Nights when he was alone. Maybe he had…?The redhead seemed quite surprised at his question, or even more surprised thatthe king simply addressed him. But then he smiled. The redhead showed so brightwhite teeth that this could only be witchcraft. Law sighed softly. What aperfect man.“No. My life is only yours, my Majesty. ”The black-haired man had to look forward and bite his lip so he would not laughwith happiness.How nice Kid had said that. Only him…Law said nothing, but Kid saw his satisfaction and smiled. He probably wouldnever guess why Law was just as satisfied.They came to his chambers.In front of it stood two knights, who reported immediately that nothingextraordinary had happened. This was actually the moment when Kid would saygoodbye and leave.But Law turned around. His heart beat like crazy, but he could not help themadness that had devoured his mind.“Would you still briefly look into my chambers, if everything is alrightthere, Sir Eustass? I have such a bad feeling today. Not that anyone poisonedmy wine.”Laws voice was serious and clear, whereupon all the knights looked at himhorrified. That their king was so worried was new and the knights put a lot ofweight on it.One of the guards opened his mouth and said:“Your Majesty, we really have …”But before he got ahead, Kid raised his hand and silenced him.“Your Majesty, of course, as you wish.”With that, the redhead entered his chambers and instructed the other knightsnot to let anyone in.Law followed him lightly. He felt like floating above the ground.Kid was in his chambers …here …with him.The black-haired man grinned to ear to ear while Kid searched his chambers witha serious, worried expression. Tried the wine and checked every place for traps.Law was not worried. No, he much preferred to consider the strong knight. Helooked at his big physique and the nice butt. Law giggled softly. How would Kidlook without his armor…? In civil…? He could hardly imagine it. Kid had tolook sooooo handsome.The black-haired man had the feeling that little hearts were flying around hishead. He felt so good in Kids proximity. So free, so happy.The knight, on the other hand, was done with his control. He stood right in front of Law and said with aserious expression:“I searched everything, Your Majesty. There are no traps or dangers in yourchambers. You can rest safely tonight.”Law wondered if Kid was afraid of him. In the golden eyes was the same shimmeras in all others. Fear of the mighty king who could prescribe his death withouthaving to explain it to anyone.“Are you afraid of me, Sir Eustass?”The question of the black-haired man was quiet and sharp. Kids eyes widened andhe took a breath. The reaction alone told Law more than a thousand words could.“Your Majesty, I respect you. I care only about you and your safety. Youhave the highest priority for me.”What a clever answer. Law grinned briefly and Kid seemed relieved.With such deft, evasive words Kid could have fit into the policy of the castle.He had answered his question neither yes nor with no, and yet gave him a clearanswer.So it happened that they looked each other in the eye. Both with a smile andLaw felt the butterflies fluttering in his stomach.And then the king did something that was completely insane. He wrapped his armsaround Kids neck and before the redhead could do anything, Law leaned forwardand kissed him.It felt like Law was going to faint with happiness. His lips laid on Kids andit felt so nice. Like a dream. To feel the strange warmth, the good taste ofKid…Law’s cheeks blushed and he pressed his body against Kids. Felt the cold metal…and then realized what he was doing.As if someone had given him a slap in the face, Law shrugged back. He releasedhis lips from Kids and took his arms off Kids neck.The redhead’s eyes were wide open, staring up at him with his mouth open. …whichwas so cute that Law could only smile. Now he would come to purgatory. He hadkissed a man. And it had felt even better than he had thought…Law blushed again.“Excuse me, Sir Eustass. You can go home now.”Kid nodded mutely and then turned, and Law buried his face in his hands. Whathad he been thinking? God, what had he thought?!But to his great surprise, Kid once more turned his head toward him, even as healready had the door handle in his hand.“Your Majesty …I just wanted to say …that I thought that was verynice.”…was Kid red on the cheeks?Now Laws mouth opened and without another word Kid disappeared through the doorfrom the room.When the door closed behind the redhead, Law squealed and luckily threw himselfon his bed. There he rolled and giggled.Sky! He had kissed Kid! He had really done it…! And Kid had found it nice…!How beautiful the world was…!

How to Deal With Unrequited Love as an INFP
For an INFP personality type, nothing is more thrilling than the prospect of falling in love. However, INFPs often find themselves in the unfortunate situation of a love that is unreciprocated. This situation can occur not just once but a number of times. INFPs may find themselves in the ugly paradox of wanting more than ever to experience the ultimate romance but feeling unable to make the necessary move for their dream to become reality. Or when they finally summon the courage to unveil their true feelings, they experience rejection.
For the INFPs of the world who have suffered from this curse, this article is dedicated to you, offering some tricks of the trade on how to deal, and providing a cheeky spell to make it all seem worthwhile. If you’re not an INFP, fear not! This may also apply to any true romantic whose heart has been savagely broken.
Usually the tale begins like this: you’re somewhere doing something required of you, and a special someone magically catches your attention. This is a big deal because it does not occur every day. You may eagerly return to this fated place again and again on the promise of finding yourself in contact with this person. When the two of you do talk again, you experience butterflies from their subtle glances. Then you spend hours secretly analyzing your conversation, and you replay your favorite interactions—each time gaining a new delicate piece of information in the hope of unlocking their true intentions.
So you do what any person does when they’ve got a crush. Except for you, the INFP, this can easily verge on a sweet, innocent obsession. This obsession is dangerous territory. When we INFPs have crushes, we unconsciously assign so much meaning to this person, because of our dominant function, Introverted Feeling (Fi). We become too involved in all the possibilities, due to our Extroverted Intuition (Ne). We let our imaginations fill in the blanks. We can fall in love with someone we barely even know.
And how do we decide to deal with our undying l’amour for this person? Maybe we spill all the contents of our heart to them, only to receive a shaky, “No thank you.” Maybe we pine silently from afar, deciding to let destiny do all the work, only to find that your love was just not meant to be. The tale then concludes with the vicious struggle to actually get over this person. Instead of a peaceful melancholy ending, we are left at war with ourselves and what’s left of our self-confidence. We may obsess until we find a new object of infatuation.
We have the power to alleviate this cycle if we can figure out what really happened here. The “I” in INFP might as well stand for introspective, as this is the inevitable aftermath of an unrequited love. It’s so tempting to wallow on why you have been struck with such misfortune. Which is why this is where it can go horribly wrong, because this is when we can get stuck. Yes, we idealized, and yes, only afterwards did we realize this fact. Yes, maybe some self-repair is in order, but how much? While introspecting, it’s easy to become enraptured in the confusion of our idealism—how much of this was real and how much of this was made up? We relentlessly question everything about ourselves, and these questions can often be negative and purposeless. Am I destined to be alone forever? Am I too shy? Was I boring? Am I too awkward?
Without any clear reason for an actual or perceived rejection, our self-esteem plummets to the deepest lengths. Usually we try to justify the situation as a way to get over the person once and for all, which never works. Our support group of select friends and family plays a huge role in this stage, with clichéd sayings of comfort involving “more fish in the sea” and the like. These unlucky few will hear you retell and reanalyze the ordeal over and over until they can’t take it anymore. Inevitably, our negative questions reach a new low. Oh man…what is wrong with me? Why am I so obsessed with this? Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening again?!
How to Prevent This From Happening Again
1. Understand the difference between a crush, limerence, and love. To put it simply: a crush is a short infatuation, while limerence is a longer, stronger state of infatuation that’s usually characterized by obsession. Love can have many interpretations, but reciprocated feelings of appreciation are an established requirement. It’s necessary to recognize the difference between these states because we often become so caught up in the excitement of romance that we quickly rush to hibernate into every fantasy our mind can create. Understandable, since it can be tough for us introverts to find someone worthy of our appreciation. But awareness is important, and a start.
2. Try to control your ability to obsess: this is a hard one, folks. Now that you’re aware that you might be crush-ing or limerence-ing someone, you can call upon the strength of self-discipline to not get super crazy obsessed. There’s no easy way to do this. Distractions help, so engage in hobbies, school, your job—anything that prevents you from daydreaming about this person all day. The easiest way to accomplish this is distance. Stay away from this person if you can, at least for a little while, preferably before you start planning your imaginary proposal.
3. Be brave. And flirt. Flirting might not be an obvious strength of ours, but we can be uniquely charming. Not communicating that you are interested is a sure fire way to end up crushed. Try to muster up the courage to do your version of flirting. Maybe smile and hold eye contact for more than a millisecond. Even better, ask them on a date. Life is short, and this will prevent you from wasting mental effort pining away for them. If you’ve flirted in the past only to end up with unrequited love, applaud yourself and never give up.
4. Believe you are worthy of being loved. Yes, it is sappy and a challenge, but self-love is critical for reciprocal love and happiness. Self-loathing is where we often end up after the dream doesn’t come true. It’s one of our biggest struggles. Everyone has flaws and imperfections, so choose not to lose faith in yourself. For every fault, find something you truly appreciate about yourself. Seek a journal, a trusted friend, or a therapist to help you with this if you find yourself continuously struggling with self-esteem.
What to Do If It Happens Again
1. Take time to heal. Sometimes we can be so disappointed that it’s almost like your whole world was obliterated. Sometimes people we confide in can make our situation out to be nothing, because to them, it resulted in nothing. Make sure that you unload to the right people, and make sure you make time for yourself to cope. Nature walks and meditation can be extremely helpful when navigating sad emotions. Sweet treats do their part too.
2. Hope is still your best friend. It’s safe to say that endless optimism is a trait of the INFP. But sometimes our hidden cynicism can win. Don’t lose faith in love. No matter how many times unrequited love may occur in your life, you will eventually find someone you love who loves you back. Be patient, and accomplish amazing things in the mean time.
3. Logic is your even better best friend. This is a prime time to learn from your situation. Though it’s not second nature, we can develop the skill of rational thinking, even when our feelings have flooded our brain. Maybe you’ll learn to not read into potential signs as much. Or how to not overanalyze. Logic can help deter you from wallowing and obsessing even more, and may also help you in getting over the person. It can be pivotal for self-improvement without blaming yourself too severely.
4. Seek to understand your relationship with vulnerability. Shame goes hand in hand when experiencing unrequited love. We can feel foolish for falling for someone who doesn’t feel the same way. Fear of rejection and of being vulnerable can often be held responsible for our struggles in communication at times. The more we aim for self-growth in this area, the more we can develop skills to properly express how we feel in order to get into a relationship and to maintain a relationship.
Lastly, here is the cheeky spell mentioned earlier:
Though we might be prone to unrequited love, take heart in knowing that you have the ability to fall so deeply in this delicious feeling. That you delight in it. It can have some unfortunate circumstances, it might not provoke the healthiest of behaviors at times, and it can lead to utter heartbreak. But there is a privilege in feeling all those addicting emotions of love. This tendency often fuels our desires and passions in life when we love other things that aren’t love itself. And even when we fall into the trap of unrequited love, it inevitably teaches us so much about ourselves—things we need to learn for success in later triumphs of romance.
“Reciprocal love, such as I envisage it, is a system of mirrors which reflects for me, under the thousand angles that the unknown can take for me, the faithful image of the one I love, always more surprising in her divining of my own desire and more gilded with life.” —André Breton, Mad Love (source)

== Be the loyal captain
Gender: Female Blood color: #793e77 Land dweller Trolltag: perspicaciousVisionary 
Typing quirk: N/A How's your vocabulary? Are there any phrases you like to use?: My vocabulary is just fine. There's not anything special in the way I talk, I'm a pirate, not a scholar. But I'm capable of intellectual conversation, but half the time it seems I'm dumbing it down for the likes that I interact with outside of my crew. As far as phrases go? I have a sailors mouth; twat, shite, and bugger are words I use frequently. Age: 906 solar sweeps/ 1963 years Wriggling day: 14th bilunar perigree of the 4th dim season Sign: My sign means warrior. I suppose it fits. Physical description: 5'7", 139 lbs. Well built, strong, toned but with still a little softness to her curves. Triangular face with deep-set, piercing upturned almond eyes. Thin lips with a fuller bottom lip than the top. Lustrous, wavy hair that stops just above the shoulders, a little past if it were straight. Powers: Dream manipulation- A user can create, shape, enter and manipulate the dreams of oneself and others, including modifying, suppressing, fabricating, influencing, manifesting, sensing, and observing dreams as well as nightmares, daydreams, etc., possibly including past ones. They can produce and modify dreams, bestow nightmares or lucid dreaming, entrap people in REM, and promote spiritual/emotional healing within dreams. In some cases, user's power extends to the real world, such as wounds inflicted on a sleeping victim, healed damage (mental or physical) affecting the physical form, and otherwise blurring the line between waking and dream. They may be able to pull someone from the waking world into the dream world or brings people/things from the dream world into the waking world. Right handed or left handed: Left handed Strife: A steel double-headed battle ax. The ax heads are identical, with bat-wing shaped edges. The mahogany (hard and strong dark wood) handle is 2 feet long and is bound in tattered lilac silk. It is very heavy, perfectly balanced. What is something you like to keep in an accessible place in your sylladex?: Quill and leather bound journal Lusus: Caracal Do you get along with your lusus? Are they difficult to feed?: She was a wonderful lusus and we got along very well. She tended to hunt for herself though, but I'd still go out with her and help. It was a team effort. I miss her a great deal Hive: From the outside, the hive looks old, but quaint with character. Built with white stones and red pine decorations. Small, octagon windows brighten up the rooms and have been added to the hive in a symmetric way. The hive is equipped with a large country home-style kitchen, a guest bathroom, and master bathroom. It also has a cozy living room, two bedrooms, a modest dining area and a study. The building is shaped like a short U. The second floor is the same size as the first, which has been built exactly on top of the floor below it. The roof is high, triangular, but one side is longer than the other and is covered with brown roof tiles. The hive itself is surrounded by a modest garden, covered mostly in grass, a few flower patches, and a small pond. Three random interests: cartography, oil painting, relic collecting How do you handle stress?: I'm a level-headed woman, and honestly, think my clearest in situations of stress. Simply because I have to in order to find a solution to whatever problem I'm having. What do you know about your ancestor? Do you believe in that story?: I've never bothered to look into it, partly because I'm not that interested and also because I'm a little worried I might not like what I find. Are you a leader or a follower?: Considering I'm a captain, I'd have to say, leader.   Are you more introverted or extroverted?: More often than not I tend to be introverted, preferring solitude to company, unless it's Akofen. Do you tend to argue or avoid conflict?: I don't seek it out but I certainly don't allow any troll to walk over me. Conflict is necessary and unavoidable in my chosen field. Are you a listener or a talker?: A listener. I myself don't have a whole lot of desire to talk to folks I'm not close with, and the people I call true companions are very few. But I've got no issue lending an ear. How long is your attention span?: It's plenty long. I make maps for god's sake. That requires a ridiculous amount of concentration and patience. Do you laugh a lot? What's funny to you?: Ako makes me laugh with his dry humor, but outside of the privacy of my hive or his, I'm not the most visibly joyous of people. I smile, and I'll chuckle lightly but I'm more reserved with my feelings. Are you more athletic, artistic or intellectual?: I'd like to think I'm a little bit of each, but artistic is probably the most of the three. What would you do if someone attacked you for no reason?: I'd defend myself. What else is someone supposed to do in a situation like that? Just die without a fight? I think not, not for this woman. Any fears?: I fear failure. Rejection. Loss. What would happen if your greatest fear manifested itself?: One of them has before. I was thrown off my own ship when I was the captain of my first crew. They turned against me and sent me off with nothing but a rowboat, an oar and a beaten and bruised body out into the middle of the ocean. I was close to death when my now dear departed friend Jarles found me and took me onto his ship. But a fear I hope never comes true is watching my moirail be killed right in front of me. I would lose a part of myself without Ako. I'd be left as a shell. Do you make decisions based on emotions or logic?: A bit of both. If you make all decisions based completely on one or the other then you're going to make many mistakes. What is your earliest memory?: I remember being curled up against my lusus's body, I was 4 sweeps, and we were listening to the rain. I was drifting off. Her fur soft against my small hands, the warmth of her body lulling me to sleep. It's a vivid memory, and one I'm very fond of. What do you consider the most important event in your life so far?: Being found by Jarles and his crew. It was an unfortunate set of circumstances that led me to them but if it weren't for those circumstances I wouldn't have grown in the ways that I have. Who has had the most influence on you?: Kindra, the matesprit I left behind to pursue my fantasy of adventure and power. She always tried to see the good in everyone, I tried to do the same to some degree, but I never could as well as her, at least not then.
What is your greatest regret?: Leaving Kindra and never bothering to go back because I was ashamed. Have you killed somebody? How do you feel about it? Have you killed more than one person? Then whose death impacted you the most?: Yes, multiple, unsurprising to everyone I'm sure. I feel that it is part of piracy and that if those I've killed didn't bother to go toe to toe with me and my lot then I wouldn't have had to end their lives. I'm not going to sit back and watch my crew fight without me alongside. And the fights are almost always to the death. The only death that I've caused that has ever made me feel remorse was a young teal blood. They weren't fighting willingly, or even knowingly, but under the control of their captain, a cerulean. Has someone close to you died? How? If they were killed do you want revenge?: Yes, Jacobi Jarles, the man who saved me from starving out at sea. He was harpooned through the chest by the leader of a group of sick, scar-faced fucks. But revenge has already been taken. It makes no difference though. It won't bring him back. Have you ever almost died? Or been seriously injured?: I think I've already addressed this but yes, I nearly starved to death out at sea, with infected wounds to boot. If you could change one thing from your past what would it be?: I would have never taken that traitorous scum breather onto my ship, into my first crew. He turned them against me, and there were too many for me to fight off, but it didn't stop me from trying. It ended up earning me the pretty scar I have across my face. Have you betrayed someone? Do you regret it?: I betrayed Kindra. I know she wouldn't say so or think the same but I did and I regret it every day. In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Does this change if you know them well?: It all depends on how they treat me. I give respect when I get respect. And I wouldn't bother to get to know someone if I didn't intend on treating them with kindness or reverence. But more often than not I keep acquaintances at a distance, yes. What do you look for in a potential matesprit?: A genuine soul. Someone who bothers to show mercy despite the strength and ability to kill easily. Someone with plenty of patience, considering I'm not the easiest woman to get to know. And if they can make me laugh or smile that'd be lovely too. Any current relationships?: Matesprit: Moirail: Akofen Enidae Kismesis: Austispice: What are some past relationships that didn't quite work out?:  I fell in red love with a stubborn man once, he had a good heart, but neither of us were prepared for something like what we were feeling. Not much ever came from it, which is likely for the best. And then Kindra. I feel we would have worked if I hadn't of chosen a life of piracy over her. Hindsight is 20/20.   If you have a moirail do you usually find yourself calming down your partner or is it the other way around?: We both bring each other peace. If ever I'm having a shite day I'll crawl into his coon with him, and he holds me. So I suppose he does more of the emotional caring since that man doesn't let much of anything affect him. Is there anyone you platonically despise?: Yes, but they're dead. How do you feel about where you stand on the spectrum?:  I'm lucky to be in a position of privilege, but I'm not hemo-ist in the slightest. I might as well be color blind. What are your opinions on the hemospectrum as a class system in general?: It's a way for the trolls higher on the spectrum to use and control those at the bottom. It's not something I see changing anytime soon though, but I think anyone that treats each other regardless of the hemospectrum makes a difference, even if only a small one. Do you like to read? If so, what genre?: I…enjoy romance novels… What would you die for?: My crew. What is your most treasured possession? Why?: A small, stout looking stuffed kitty that Kindra made from a burlap sack, I treasure it for obvious reasons-- because it's from her. It’s the only thing I have from that time in my life actually. Favorite food?: Potato, carrot and beef stew What is your greatest strength?: My perseverance Greatest weakness?:  My stubbornness, ironically.

3 Ways to Boost Your Life Energy and Stay Connected To Yourself
You know that rare state of flow you enter sometimes ... when whatever's going well, points are running smoothly, as well as you've accumulated a great energy? When troubles come up, but you're able to just steamroll right over the top of them as if they were the unfortunate Prairie wolf from the Disney Road-Runner cartoon?
It's that state when you simply appear to rise over opposition, absolutely nothing fazes you, and you surf the crest of the success wave with energy as well as speed up until you deplete on the coastline, smiling, with your adrenaline rushing and your whole being desire to obtain available as well as do it again.
When you feel, as Leo Di Caprio screamed in that scene from Titanic, like the 'King of the Globe'.
This is what occurs when something I call your life energy is peaking out.
When your life power is peaking, you're not being bogged down by resistance, laziness, or feelings of being stuck in-a-rut.
You're cruising at optimum altitude.
You remain in the chauffeur's seat of your personal life with your foot relaxing heavy on the gas pedal and the radio going full-blast.
Put simply, life energy is your energy to involve with life specifically as it is right now. It's an extremely fluid part of your being, as well as it's impacted by all kinds of things - just what you're doing, exactly what you're assuming about what you're doing, exactly what you desire you were doing, as well as just how well you're doing it.
By the method, 'involving with your life exactly as it is right now' does not indicate 'wishing you were in your dream profession' or 'daydreaming about what life will certainly resemble when you have your dream partnership'. It means involving with your life NOW, as it actually is, regardless of what it resembles or just how 'damaged' it is, and also replying to whatever circumstance you're in such a method as to transform valleys of monotony right into PEAKS OF LIFE ENERGY.
As I see it, there are 3 basic degrees of life energy:
1. Peaking out (when you remain in 'circulation' and mashing resistance like it doesn't exist
2. ‘Medium' (when you're mildly bothered by resistance and procrastination, yet are making dogged progress), or
3. 'Rock bottom' (when you can hardly obtain it together enough time to take a seat at your desk therefore long as CONSIDER just what has to be done today.)
And certainly, the state you want to experience even more of is the TOP! Nevertheless, for the majority of people, a life-energy peak is something that 'just happens' to them - it's entirely out of their control.
They aren't sure ways to control themselves and their lives so about make that 'peak' a day-to-day experience.
This short article will certainly instruct you just how to peak out more and also remain more positive and also certain on DAILY BASIS.
TIP #1: DE-CLUTTERIZE
The settings you border yourself with affect exactly what's occurring inside your head greater than you realize.
Since our outside settings are essentially a mirror-reflection of what's occurring inside us and considering that this also works both means - our insides start to handle high qualities of exactly what our outdoors atmospheres look like, too.
if you're constantly BOGGING YOURSELF DOWN in mess, stacks of paper, heaps of old clothing, messy, topsy-turvy half-finished tasks, and cobwebby windows.
I can ENSURE you that your life power - your feeling of forward energy, your ability to proceed and accomplish points with power and also excitement - will feel bogged-down as well as stagnant as well.
Now, the inquiry is how you can do away with your clutter.
To remove your clutter, I recommend you take a technique that you're comfy with. Beginning small: an untidy cabinet that you can clean out, a bag of garments you could arrange, a heap of dishes that have to be washed.
You don't have to tackle the attic room, the garage, as well as the basement at one time. You shouldn't, since you'll bewilder on your own as well as strengthen the life-sapping concept that de-clutterizing is pointless.
Instead of beating on your own prior to you also start, start with something that you could end up doing TODAY.
Take an appearance around you right currently. Exactly how do you feel, on the genuine, inside degree, about your surroundings - the desk, room, or car that you remain in as you read this? Notice what you feel.
Do not enable dismal thoughts of all the other desks, spaces, as well as autos that likewise require taking care of to enter your brain and also sap your power, they're simply psychological clutter.
Look at where you are ideal CURRENTLY, notice exactly how you feel - as well as act upon the sensations that show up. Releasing unneeded attachments inevitably results in a BOOST OF SPEED toward just what you REALLY want!
TIP # 2: LEARN HOW TO ADHERE TO YOUR INSTINCTS
Agonizing regarding decisions detracts solidly from your ability to have a peak experience.
Uncertainty, absence of count on your own, and bothering with whether you're 'doing it right' are among the basic parts of sensation stuck.
Listening to your intuition and also translating the messages it sends you, on the other hand, is a fail-safe means to substitute pain as well as 'stuck-ness' for clearness, peace, power, and peace - among the foundation of the peak experience as well as mountain-high life energy!
Here is a remarkable pointer that will help you to follow your instincts.
Meditation. Preferably in the AM
Meditation, any time of the day or evening, is like an instantaneous de-staticker for those intuitive messages.
It aids you disregard the garbage and also area in on right stuff that truly resonates with you.
So if you can give on your own 5 or ten mins to just stop talking, take a seat, as well as pay attention for your very own assistance, you're currently miles in advance of many people.
Meditating at any moment of the day is a terrific method to reduce down and also tune into the nuggets of primaeval knowledge that are on a regular basis being shoved your method by the scooting carriers of your instinct. Reflection is the most effective method to reinvent your life again.
TIP # 3: ACKNOWLEDGE THAT 'S THE BOSS
It frequently surprises me just how challenging people make life for themselves. When it familiarizes exactly what's best for you, there's just one specialist: YOU.
When it concerns making decisions regarding your life, your money, your partnerships, your job, WHATEVER, the fact is simple: You understand even more than everyone else in the globe created!
Why?
Because everybody else - even the very best life-coach worldwide, also your mom, even your high-school guidance counselor, also your therapist, also your $500-an-hour life train - only knows just what THEY would do in your shoes.
You're the boss here.
You demand to stop providing your power away to other individuals. You should ACCUSTOM the suggestion that you really recognize best what's ideal for you and also begin attributing yourself with the unbelievable wisdom and decision-making capacities that you, in reality, essentially have, deep down inside.
The ability making choices as well as change your life, your mind, or your heart isn't something that you need ASSISTANCE with.
Sure, you could ask various other people for their point of view ... pay attention carefully ... and think about what they need to say.
You can also permit their viewpoint to influence your own, if it truly reverberates you. And you can definitely UTILIZE other individuals's suggestions for guidance IF it appears like something that you CONCUR WITH.
BUT!!
Blindly following other individuals's guidance and also feeling as if you cannot trust your very own capacity to earn your personal mind up as well as awaiting someone else to tell you exactly what to do will ALL conflict like billy-o with your capacity to INVIGORATE YOUR LIFE and EXPERIENCE LIFE'S PEAKS FOR YOURSELF.
It's really that simple!
YOU KNOW BEST. If something charms to you, it's for a reason. Pay attention to your very own knowledge - it's extra effective compared to anyone else's!
Most individuals simply do not understand how to acknowledge their very own employer - themselves - and also end up hovering around, hesitating, refuting their very own power, and pushing all the responsibility as well as splendor onto other individuals's shoulders.
It's like I told Mr Would-Be Graphic Designer: 'You're obtaining all curved out of form concerning this, when actually the ONLY 'issue' is figuring out which selection will certainly make you the happiest!'
Granted, sometimes the options we have are much more hard compared to, 'Should I go to Australia or remain in New Zealand to seek my fortune?', but the necessary truth remains:
All the decisions we make are, in essence, choices about which selection will make us happiest.
Father Paul Keenan, author of the spirit-warming Good News for Bad Days, suggests that the simplest way to resolve ANY problem - any painful circumstance of life, any tragic choice, any quagmire whether individual or professional - is really easy:
Ask yourself, 'Exactly what are my options right here?'
Such an approach is an easy yet mind-bustingly efficient way to make each complex-looking scenario right back to the bare bones, and places the focus squarely where it ought to be: on what YOUR selections are.
Something regarding the method this inquiry is phrased just appears to function. Instead of asking, 'What should I do? Which is the best choice?", or ' How will I recognize exactly what's right?', Dad Keenan's basic approach maintains your focus exactly where it needs to be: By yourself perspective.
I want to take this concept one step even more and also recommend that, after you've provided your alternatives - all the alternatives you might reasonably take, whether you desire to do them or otherwise - that you remain to narrow it down already asking on your own:
Which of these options will certainly make me really feel the best?
Using this basic approach to any kind of situation that's got you wriggling in your seat will certainly pare it right down and also lead you to the best option - which is, of course, the selection that YOU believe best. And the coolest part?
The a lot more usually you address your own problems on your own in this means, the stronger and also better you really feel regarding on your own, the much easier it reaches proceed making up your very own mind, and also the even more 'in contact' you get with your personal employer as well as at the very same you also enhance your life energy.
I will stop below I wish you appreciated reviewing this article on increasing your life energy. If you really did please do not fail to remember to share it on your favorite social media.
