ENERGY FLOWS WHERE ATTENTION GOES
What you put your attention on grows. Culturally we are taught to fight the negative mentally – thinking that if we do so, the positive will automatically come to us. It doesn’t work that way.
How often have you lamented about what you didn’t want? Did it ever bring you what you really wanted? Just fighting the negative is a waste of time if you really want to make changes in your life. The more you dwell on what you don’t want, the more of it you create. What you put your attention on grows and becomes permanent in your life. Move away from the negative and put your attention on what it is that you really do want to be or have.
Learn to think in positive affirmations. Negative affirmations only create more of what you say you don’t want. Saying, “I hate my job” will get you nowhere. Saying, “I am able to accept a great new job” will open the channels in your consciousness to make that happen. Continually make positive statements about how you want your life to be. However it is very important that you always make your statements in the present tense, such as “I am” or “I have”. To make statements in the future tense, “I want” or “I will have” will subconsciously keep them just out of your reach.
No matter what has happened in your life, no matter where you are now, you can begin to consciously choose your thoughts and you can change your life. What you think about the most or focus on the most will appear as your life. To know what you are thinking, ask yourself how you are feeling. Emotions are valuable tools that instantly tell us what we are thinking. It is impossible to feel bad and at the same time have good thoughts. Listen to your thoughts and listen to what you are saying.
I don’t want to be fat.
√ I am slender.
I don’t want to live here.
√ I am moving to a better place.
I don’t want to have this relationship.
√ I have a wonderful new relationship.
I don’t want to be sick.
√ I am totally healthy and well.
I don’t want to be lonely.
√ I am affectionate and loved.
I don’t want to have this face/body.
√ I approve of myself exactly as I am.
You create your life with your thoughts. Thoughts become things! What you are thinking now is creating your future life. If you can think about what you want in your mind, and make that your dominant thought, you will bring it into your life.
With very best wishes
