Tip#548: Choose the Light Instead of the Dark - Snow White and the Huntsman

This past week I experienced some unusually dark mental states where I felt disoriented, unbalanced and unfocused. I found myself worrying over the tiniest things and imagining the worst outcomes. And I was so sure these dark scenarios would manifest, that it was surely meant to be! Thankfully I caught myself in three specific situations and I just focused on the positives, did breathing exercises, meditations and even hot showers to break the negative states of mind.

One by one each situation unfolded with no dire results and only shining outcomes. It was as if I was being tested with the "dark side of the force" like Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back. Synchronistically at the end of the week I did a screening and discussion of Peaceful Warrior where the main character Dan faced his shadow self/ego self. In both of these cinematic characters they both triumphed over their dark sides as I felt I did too.

Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)

The action, fantasy movie Snow White and the Huntsman is a darker, re-imagining of the classic fairytale. Snow White (Kristen Stewart) is kept prisoner for many years by an evil sorceress Ravenna (Charlize Theron) and later escapes with the help of a huntsman named Eric (Chris Hemsworth). You will see many elements from the classic story and yet updated with visually stunning and breathtaking effects.

The darkness of Ravenna is chillingly disturbing and all of her scenes became a mirror for the dark scenarios I had been imagining. And when Snow White discovers the enchanted forest filled with magical plant life, whimsical animals and fairies I felt that it mirrored the light of my positive thoughts I chose to focus on. And so, like many other movie heroes in many other films, when I chose the light over darkness everything worked out beautifully.

Our minds can play tricks on us making us create negative realities and making us fear something that hasn’t even happened yet. The goal is to train your mind so you can break out of debilitating mindsets and focus on the bright, shining outcomes you desire. Remember to breathe and quiet your mind. Listen to your heart. Your positive voice is already inside you whispering words of wisdom and brilliant encouragement!
