Focus On The Positive!
"You do not attract what you want; you create what you focus on."
- Dr. David Krueger - MentorPath
After reading this quote, everything seemed so clear to me, all I needed to do was focus on the positive. How easy I thought. Well, not so much. My mind constantly slips back into fearful, anxious or even violent thoughts. It's as if the angel is on one shoulder and the devil on the other just like in the cartoons. But in real life it isn't funny whatsoever.
This dark voice in our head has been called many things, The Course in Miracles
describes it as the ego. It states that,
"The ego is quite literally a fearful thought."
So, if we create what we focus on and we focus on fearful or negative thoughts, we are creating a fearful and negative life. That is powerful stuff . Another important factor is not only what we think but what we say as well.
Joel Osteen wrote in his book,Your Best Life Now, "We get what we say- our words become self fulfilling prophecies. If you allow your thoughts to defeat you and then give birth to negative ideas through your words, your actions will follow suit."
How often have we said things like, " In this economy I will never get back on my feet" or "I'll have to deal with this problem forever" or even," We'll never pay up this debt!" If you send energy into those kinds of thoughts that is exactly what you will get.
In The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne, they showed a scene with Aladdin and the Genie, where the Genie said, "Your wish is my command!" So, if we say that we will never pay up our debt, guess what? That's right, we get our wish and we will never pay up our debt.
We need to monitor our thoughts and our choice of words. If we want to see positive changes in our lives, we need to focus on the positive.
How do we focus on the positive? It actually is a retraining of how we think! If you habitually think negative or fearful thoughts, you will have to catch yourself as you are doing it and refocus on something positive. This takes real discipline but does get easier with practice. Scientific studies have stated that it takes 25 days to break an old ritual or habit.
For myself, the easiest way to focus on the positive is to be TRULY grateful for what I have and give thanks. I find myself giving thanks hundreds of times a day, reminding myself of how truly blessed I am and what is really important in my life.
Remember, your thoughts are like boomerangs, what you send out is going to come right back at you!
Negativity ade! Let's all focus on the positive and enjoy life to it's fullest!
Positively,
Michelle
