Thoughts: How do they work for you?

There are two ways to think about anything and that would be negatively or positively. 

Isn't if funny how we have the choice and most of the time we find ourselves unhappy as we look at the dark side if you will of what is going on in our lives and the world. 

Take the time to notice that when you are thinking of things in a way that doesn't feel good one thought after another becomes darker and darker. In other words everything becomes worse and worse and the only reason that really happens is because we see the negative to begin with and it spirals out of control. This is so detrimental to our wonderful mind and body.

We allow unhappy thoughts to take over when in fact if we saw the brighter side of things one thought after another would be show us how things are really pretty good.

How could a person make this a habit do you think?

How would life feel if in fact we decided to start our thoughts each day in the direction of happiness?

Here is an exercise that might help in the direction of thinking and feeling positive:

• The first thing each morning be thankful you woke up.
• Focus on everything that feels good in your body. 
• Take some deep breaths and clear your mind.
• Sit down for a few minutes and write about everything that is positive about yourself and your life.

Make your thoughts the best thoughts and you will find that when you do you feel it deep down in that beautiful spirit of yours. Know that by finding the best thoughts you are contributing to your well-being that is so beneficial to you life becomes joyful and peaceful.

Your thoughts are your power, use them for your greater good.

 Change........ How Does it Work?

A New Year and the first thing we all want to do is change things for the better. That is a wonderful idea but how do we want things to change? 

The funny thing about we humans is we want everyone and everything around us to be better and to change to suit us but is that really the answer?

• We have people in our lives that we have tried to change for so long and it isn't happening.
• We have circumstances that we are unhappy with and want to be different.
• We live in a world of great chaos at times that is upsetting.

How do we change things for the better?

We start with ourselves first. 

• How are we seeing all of these situations and people? 
• How are we reacting to them?
• What would the solution be to the situations we are in and the people we are involved with?
• How do we see and talk about the world?

If we are always expecting people to think the way we do......to want the same things......to be in line with our joy and beliefs then of course we will be unhappy because here is the kicker they have and are entitled to have their own thoughts and beliefs on their own journey. If we are trying to control how they think and feel shame on us.

It is a matter of how much we want to be with or around these people.......how much joy we want to feel......how much we are willing to change a hard stance and to see them not as an adversary but as someone with different ideas and thoughts. If we can except them the way they are and meld with their ideas and thoughts without changing who we are it makes life so much more beautiful. This is change from within.

The solution to that is if you cannot it is time to recognize it and go a different direction. It is for our greater good that we don't keep thinking the same thing over and over with our thoughts about someone and expect that they do what we want them to do instead of be who they are. This is change from within.

The same thing really applies to any situation in life. Are you miserable and keep thinking miserable thoughts or are you willing to look at your situation and see it in a better light? If you can't then how can you leave this situation...... what are your options when you try to reason it out? They are truly there if you let go of the negative of I can't or it won't work to seeing life doing something else. This is change from within.

As far as the world goes I would say this......there are many more good people than bad.......there is so much more joy than sorrow.......we must concentrate on making it even better with being kind to one another and caring about our fellow man. Look for the good in people always. Be happy with the fact that we have a beautiful world to live in. This is change from within.

Change is a good thing it keeps us focusing on a better way.......a better life......better relationships and circumstances. But change must come from within. The way we look at others ........our situations.....the world. Be a brighter human being by either trying not to control others.......by leaving any circumstance that isn't working out for you.......by seeing the world in a better light. Change is seeing things differently .........it is the willingness to either accept or move on in so many areas of our lives. This is change from within.

These can help you change this New Year into one of the best you have every known.

The Direction of Thoughts and Where They Take Us

 In today's world there are many paths our thoughts can take as the shape of everything seems to change constantly. The most important thing for each of us is that we use our thoughts for ourselves and our lives rather than waste them on anything that can make the direction of our thoughts unhealthy and unhappy for us.

Make your thoughts the brightest they can be about your life and your personal space. Make sure that you are concentrating on the good things about who you are and everything in your life that is positive and let go of anything that would stop you from seeing and feeling the best about what is going on with you.

The direction our thoughts take is so important so if we are using outside sources to tell us how to think and feel we are giving into someone else's thoughts and feelings which take away from using our own.

• Look for the best thoughts not the worst. 
• Look for the happiest thoughts not the saddest.
• Look for the most positive thoughts not the negative.

The direction your thoughts take you are up to you and when you are aware of the way they make you feel you will know if you need to enhance them or change them because feeling good......feeling happy.......feeling the pure gift that life really is.......makes those thoughts so very important to your everyday living.
