Bless you! That's what a lot of us say when someone sneezes. And when you think about it, there's good reason to get into the habit of "blessing" things and people as you go about your day. It draws the negative charge from an annoyance or frustrating incident or person and instead puts a positive spin on things. Saying "bless it" or "bless him/her" when something upsetting happens or someone bothers you helps you put things into perspective and return to a state of balance and calm.
I like to remember the words from the early 20th century metaphysician, Emmet Fox. He said, "Bless a thing and it will bless you. Curse it and it will curse you. If you bless a situation, it has no power to hurt you, and even if it is troublesome for a time, it will gradually fade out, if you sincerely bless it."
You know, it's easy enough to start to obsess over the many little things that can go wrong in a day. Like being caught in traffic, breaking a heel on your shoe, or being subject to someone's else bad mood. Not to mention those larger problems or issues that we may have in our lives.
But instead of trying to deny the problem or worrying over it, try "blessing" it and see what happens. It will give you the space to react less emotionally and start to deal with it more constructively. Doing so also helps you to attract more of the positive things that you do want in your life. And don't forget, many of those things we first view as problems turn out to be blessings in disguise!
Namaste,
