Change your thinking - Change your life

Isn't it wonderful to know that you are in control of your life?  You are in control of the reality that you choose to expereicne.  You can make it ANYTHING you desire.  What's that you say???  Oh - How do you do that?

Well, Albert Einstein made the observation that you cannot change a problem with the same level of thinking that created the problem.  We agree with that.  So many of the people I encounter in my daily activities are soooo stuck in some rut.  They are stuck in some sort of behavior or mindset that they consciously want to be free from yet they are 'too close to the trees to see the forest.'

I know you have been there.  We all have.  Me too. And when we are in that stuck place we seem to justify it by brooding on what we don't want.  We give it existence by giving it our attention and when we give something our attention, we give it our energy.

We do this automatically.  Sometimes we wake up "on the wrong side of the bed" and just start the day off feeling cranky.  And in that state, no matter what happens it is "bad", blah. "Oh goody, I got a raise today - they clearly don't think much of me with such a small amount."

And there are those days when we wake in the morning and as your eyes open - it is a joyful day.  All the animals of the forest are singing and life is glorious.  On that day - nothing can go wrong.  You could get a flat tire and your just happy to have had the opportunity to hunt down that little jack burried deep in your car.  You'd been wondering where that little bugger was!

The ancient sage Patanjali said that when there is thinking in the negative, dwell on the opposite.  When you do that now, something very amazing happens.  You begin to adopt the feelings of your new thought.  Yep, it really is that easy!

Have you noticed that if you remember a specific time when you were really upset, you actually begin to feel those feeling?  Well, the same is true for remembering a time when you felt happy or joyful.  Really, it's true.  Go ahead and close your eyes and remember in great detail a specific time when you felt amazingly happy/confident/proud/sexy (pick one).  Really remember it.  Go ahead.  I'll wait for you...

Whoa!  You ARE Amazing.
