To continue the discussion on releasing negative behavior/thought/energy patterns...
So when we notice a certain negative energy/emotion/behavior
creep into our consciousness, we can acknowledge and accept it and then convert
it into something we want to create for ourselves – a positive emotion that we
can deliberately start to feel instead of the negative emotion.
The most powerful positive emotion is gratitude. Gratitude is the birthplace of all
creation. When you are feeling fearful
(or angry, sad, etc.), immediately release that fear and replace it with gratitude.
“I’m so scared I’m going to fail this project” turns into “I’m so thankful for this opportunity to learn and grow, and I look forward to the good that will come from it.”
There’s always something
to be grateful for (“I’m alive and breathing!”), so when you get down for
whatever reason, find something you are thankful for and feel that gratitude.
The key to manifesting something into your life lies within
your ability to be grateful for it before it even happens, before you even
knowing when or where it will happen. Be
grateful knowing that you will be given the desires of your heart meaning that
you will manifest it, it will happen.
This gratefulness creates a beautiful, calming peace in your
mind, knowing that all things happen in perfect timing. True gratitude comes from a deep knowing that
divine order is at work in all things in life.
I guarantee that adding more gratitude into your life will
bring you more blessings. That’s because
you will automatically start releasing some of those negative thoughts and
energy patterns that sabotage your psyche throughout the day.
When things get rough, it’s really, really easy to focus on
the negative. It’s like stubbing your
toe first thing in the morning…things just seem to go downhill from there all
day. One bad thing makes us think of
another bad thing until we’re facing this detrimental barrage of negative
thoughts.
So the next time you stub your toe, I challenge you to
resist the temptation to be negative. (i.e. no bitching). Instead, take a moment to take a couple of
deep breaths and find something, anything
to be grateful for. Say it in your head
a few times, “I’m so thankful for…”,
while you take a couple more breaths. (Who
knows, that toe-stubbing might have just been a little nudge from above,
reminding you to be grateful for that toe.)
Then start your day anew as if that toe-stubbing never even
happened. (Unless you’re bleeding. Then - peacefully and gratefully - get a
Band-Aid.)
