Where is the Positive?

 

I have no explanation as to why it is human nature to focus on the negative. It is amazing to me that most people can tell you what is going wrong for them more often than what is going right. It's weird isn't it that what feels bad comes up first instead of what feels good.

This of course is a habit that many have acquired over a lifetime. It could be a learned behavior from parents or just a loop that we keep repeating over and over. 

• What if we chose to talk about what is going right in our lives?
• What if we made sure our conversations were upbeat and positive?
• What if we chose to focus on feelings that bring us joy?

I would challenge you to sit down and write out what has gone right for you in the last year. If you are going to look back at all look at what turned out well for you. Start writing and look at things that turned out even better than you thought they were going to. 

• Look for positive solutions that came to you. 
• Look for positive relationships you made. 
• Look for anything that brought a positive reaction for you.

By making note of these things you will find that so many positive things come to mind you wonder why you weren't noticing them when they were happening. By recognizing these positives we can be so grateful for them because they did make our life better even if we didn't see it at the time. Gratitude for all of the good that happened in our lives enhances our positive outlook.

Positive thoughts are the basis of a positive life. When we see things more positively we not only feel better but we open the door for more and more positives to come in our lives.

Make this a habit and your whole life will change for the better.

Many Blessing to all

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.

Many Blessings to All

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!

Free Yourself Using Your Thoughts

 

We are so in charge of the direction our thought process take. Just ponder that for a moment and you will realize that one thought follows the other so where are your thoughts taking you and how are they making you feel.

It is a difficult time I know when everything is kind of topsy turvy in the world right now but I would like to have you truly think about what your thoughts are and how they are affecting your well-being and the direction you are going.

We have the choice to zero in on chaos or peace, on love or hate, on joy or sadness. In our lifetime we  have experienced so many happy and lovely times but for some reason we choose to look back at the bad and unhappy ones. 

You really do know how to feel good all of the time just by thinking about good and happy times and feeling what it was like to enjoy life at that moment. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and think about a very happy time you have experienced. That is the feeling that you want for yourself all the time I am sure and it can be very easy to attain if you just keep your thoughts on what is going right in your life and this can be something small but satisfying that brings a feeling of joy.

Keep your thoughts in the best place possible and do not allow yourself to go down a rabbit hole of unhappiness and negativity. Don't tune into anything that would bring your thoughts to a place you don't want to be.

• What if you tuned out anything that would lead you to be negative?
• What if you focused on the most positive thing in your life at this time?
• What if you made a list of all the accomplishments that you have experienced?
•  What if you felt complete peace inside your heart and mind?

Remember thoughts are things so using them to feel good is a start of a very happy and satisfying life. You are in complete control of where your thoughts go so do yourself the greatest favor ever and make a habit of changing every negative thought to a positive one. It does take practice but it is so worth it in the long run.

Be your best by thinking the best thoughts that way you can feel the best. Don't allow anything or anyone to change how you feel about yourself and your life in the most positive and uplifting way.

Many Blessing to All
