Lately, I have thought of all of the supernatural, magical, theoretical series that are out on various platforms. Some are downright terrifying. Not because they are spooky, but because they truly show the mind of someone who is evil, or at least the mind of evil writers.

We live in an age where being evil is glorified by many, and being kind is seen as a weakness. I have heard many arguments from people about why they are acting with evil intent and many are showing their selfish, egoic, or psychotic side and they act out. Then when you look at the behavior, it’s not all mental illness, though some of it is. It can be a lack of empathy, which I thought most were born with, and lack of the ability to see each other as human beings with unalienable rights to life, equal to ours.

This iconic year signaled the split of the human soul. Some with the ability to raise their vibration to a high level and stay positive, others sank to the lower depths of the vibration and languished in its mucky mire.

Of course, this is an opinion and an observation of the year 2020, but there may be some validity to it. I actually find some people so disturbing to my being that I can’t be near them for any length of time.

I spent most of my year trying to stave off every type of negativity. Negative feelings, negative thoughts, negative people, and people who do not know how to read the room or don’t care about the room.

I never thought that my 2020 would feel like the 1950s all over again. I could almost see the “Mad Men” type people walking around Manhattan or feel the 1960 Jim Crow Southerners walking by from “Lovecraft Country.” This thought process should have died out with those calendar years. I expected people to be able to process feelings, theirs, and other people, and act responsibly by honoring each other. Mutual respect is not something I find easily, in our society.

So you get the point here.

It’s easy to get dragged into the mire.

Instead, I tried meditating. I meditated on feeling positive, feeling loved, and feeling happy. I used mantras. I read positive literature and spiritual books. I watched a lot of cat and dog videos wherever I could find them. Then I cut out all negative, anxiety-driven, or violent forms of media in order to keep my energy high. I feel drained when negative emotions take over.

I made myself happy with comedy specials, Hallmark Channel movies, and Disney programming. Finally, I decided I needed to dedicate myself to helping others. I may not have the time and willingness to keep this focus but I was going to give it my best try.

Doing a good deed makes you feel happy. No amount of negative thoughts would keep me in a low vibration.

These acts of mind, body, and spirit helped raise my vibration and my moods when I was at my lowest. When in doubt you can always ask for help. The person helping you will be happy as well.

It may not seem like it but that’s just a start to fighting evil and raising your vibration.
