Stop Looking Back

 Happy New Year!

The best way to start a New Year is by not looking back at anytime in your life that brings you to a negative thought process, especially the last year.

You have so much power over your life just by letting go of what is behind you and to focus on what it is you want for yourself in 2026.

When we keep pivoting back to parts of our lives that bring us unhappiness or sadness we do such an injustice to our beautiful spirit. 

• What if we let go of childhood trauma?
• What if we let go of unhappy relationships?
• What if we let go of what we might think of as failure?

These experiences have had life altering affects at one point on our journey but when we keep reliving them we are doing ourselves a great disservice. We are giving them permission to live in our hearts and minds and to diminish all that is positive and happy for ourselves. By keeping them alive in our thoughts and feelings we give them energy to keep invading our space of peace and joy.

Free yourself starting today using your thoughts as the foundation of a better and more satisfying way to view your life for the year ahead.

You can do this just by starting the habit of not looking back and not revisiting anything in your past that brings you unhappiness. Let your thoughts be on today and a new way to think about what you want and how you want it. Make it the most positive you can using your powerful imagination and your feelings for your greater good.

Paint the picture in your thoughts of the life you would want to live in the year ahead.

Look for my next post:  1/11/26

You Are an Artist with your Thoughts

 Your imagination is a powerful tool. Know that if you weren't suppose to use it you wouldn't have one.

Think of yourself as a master artist. You can be thinking about your life in such a beautiful way that the picture you have in your mind about your life in the positive is a major work of art if you allow it to be. 

Using your thoughts to see in your mind's eye the way you would like it to be is like having a master plan. You can see what you want and you can feel the happiness that the picture brings you so how much you put into keeping this work of art alive and thriving is up to you.

You can add people, places and things anytime you want to. You can make the colors and accents beautiful and bright. Just have a bright picture helps you to feel good.

• What if you pictured daily something you would like to have happen?
• What if you focused and then pictured only good things you would feel happy about?
• What if you took those pictures and kept them going constantly replacing them with any negative pictures that may pop in your mind?

Life can be a beautiful thing when you are centered on the positive things that have happened and are happening for you. It is not an easy habit to have but it is so worth the time and effort to see and feel the good things, the things that bring you joy, the things that make you feel happy and to keep those things as constant pictures in your mind.

I challenge you to make the effort to have pictures in your mind that are vibrant and alive with the way you want your journey to be. You can do this just by starting your day with only the best and brightest pictures of what you want to come into your life.

You will be surprised at what shows up!

Ordinary Thoughts

 Ordinary: with no special or distinctive features; normal.

I don't think that any of us have ordinary thoughts. We are too creative and imaginative to have such bland thoughts. 

In fact our thoughts are really extraordinary. 

Extraordinary: very unusual or remarkable.

The reason I say this is because with our imagination we see our lives with distinctive features and we do have special thoughts about everything.

When we actually focus our thoughts on the things we would like to have happen for us that makes them so powerful. If we stay in a positive frame of mind and see just how life would be and feel the good feelings those thoughts bring to us this makes what we think extraordinary.

• What if you imagined your life the way you would like it to be and just held those thoughts and feelings in your imagination?
• What if you made your focus on yourself with thoughts of wonderful experiences ahead?
• What if you stopped seeing life in the negative and zeroed in on all that positive things possible for you?

It is up to you how you use your thoughts but I would recommend using them to your advantage by seeing and feeling great things for yourself.

Being Content

 Contentment: a state of happiness and satisfaction

Most of us could really feel good if we used our thoughts in a way that brought us contentment.

If we are continually looking at our lives as if we are lacking in ways that make us unhappy then we make feeling content out of the question.

If we feel we are lacking;

• Money
• Love
• Happiness
• Self Esteem

These are super negative thoughts that bring us down emotionally.

It seems that we would prefer to see what is missing instead of what we would like to have in our lives.

• What if you were to start seeing yourself in a better way?
• What if you were to notice that when you think positive thoughts positive things happen?
• What if you feel worthy of love and affection?

It really is about seeing things in a more positive and uplifting way so that you can create a more positive and uplifting life.

If you always focus on the negative not only will you produce more negative things in your life you will never feel the joy and happiness you seek because  you are not allowing it to be a part of you.

I challenge you all to take the time to use your focus on what is right in your life, to envision and feel what you would like your life to be like, and to know that positive thinking brings positive results.

Take a Good Look at Who You Are.

“Believe in yourself. You are braver than you think, more talented than you know, and capable of more than you imagine.” ― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

If you give yourself the credit you deserve instead of criticism which we all tend to do, you are one step closer to knowing a happy life.

It is so easy to jump all over what you think might be wrong with yourself but there are so many things that are right you really have to start paying attention to those.

Give yourself a break and list your accomplishments. You can write them down if you would like and start to see the reality of them.

Accomplishments span over time so make sure that you look far enough back to see what you have done and how far you have come.

You are one of a kind and no one has done anything the way you have. Being unique is amazing isn't it?

Take the time to take a good look at who you are, and the journey you have taken so far so much has been fun and positive and just plain wonderful.

You are in fact brave, talented, and capable take a look and you will find experiences in your life that show you just that. 

Now do more!

Imagination

I have said this many times and everyone agrees: "If we weren't suppose to use our imagination we wouldn't have one."

It is easy to imagine anything anytime of the day. We can slip into a thought of what we would like to have or be or do and wow it is right there a vivid picture in our mind. The key is how do we use our imagination to our advantage. 

Imagination can be used two ways either positive or negative. 

It can help us to move forward with an idea or a solution that helps us to navigate in a positive ways through life. It can also be our worst enemy if we use it to picture the worst case scenario possible.

Of course you can imagine the worst things possible. You can see and feel everything in a bad and unhappy way but why would you do this to yourself when the alternative is so much better.

Once we imagine something positive it begins a thought process of possibilities. It is our mind giving us choices about what we want next on our journey. When we can picture something, when we imagine what it would be like we begin to feel good about where we are headed. When we feel good about whatever we have imagined then we feel hope. The more we imagine the better the thoughts and feelings about life become.

I would ask you to take a moment to think back on your life and remember the times when you have imagined certain instances in your life that have then happened for you. The times when you really could see and feel what you wanted and it became a reality. I know you can think of a few if you focus on it.

Imagination is like a road map if you allow it to be. You think about it you feel it and then you know the difference a positive outlook can make. This is about your bringing into your life without resistance what you want for yourself.

• What if you used your imagination in the best possible way every day.
• What if you trusted that you are in charge of creating beautiful thoughts for yourself and your journey?

Just think of what your energy level would be if you were using your imagination in the best possible way.

Let your imagination be creative and fun. Let it allow you the freedom to think and feel the best things about yourself and your life. Clear your mind and begin to see clearly through your imagination where you want to go ......... who you want to be.......what you want in your life.

What do you have to lose by imagining? 

Many Blessing to All
