It has been suggested to me recently that the metaphysical belief system is nothing more than delusion, and those who choose to think positively live in denial. If so, I will just stay out there in LaLa land, because I am no longer able to live anywhere else! I am completely around the bend!
That’s the funny thing about life. It really is all in your mind. That is exactly where it starts!!!
Feeling usually follows thought! If you hold a positive expectation, this is what you will tend to pay attention to and experience. Thinking positively at the very least gives you a better outlook on life, and just plain makes you feel good.
But that is not the whole story. Thoughts are forms of energy and are creative. They go out into the universe and attract similar energy. If you focus on your unhappiness in your present circumstance, that experience persists in your life.
Expect Positive Results in your mind, even if it does not match what appears to be around you! Try to find one good quality in that boss or coworker who makes your life a misery. Bless your car, even though it keeps breaking down.
Energy flows where attention flows. Do you want to let it all slide downhill?
Think of a person that you know very well and love. First focus your attention on this person’s faults and shortcomings. Remember a time when this person let you down in some way, or said something really thoughtless that hurt you. How does it make you feel?
Take a nice deep breath and bring your mind back to neutral.
Now, focus on all the things you admire about this person. The fun times you have shared, or the ways that you feel close. Focus on a positive experience you had together. Now what are you feeling?
Is this the same person? Yes, it is. You are the one who has changed! Ask yourself in which state of mind/emotion you want to live?
