Thoughts about yourself and your life.

It is so important how we think about ourselves and our life. How we view everything really. Isn't it funny that most people don't like how they look or where they are in life when in fact the most important thing about it all is we could be happy if we allowed ourselves to be just by recognizing what we have to be grateful for.

When we find fault with our appearance or our living conditions or our occupation we are sabotaging everything good that is really going on.

What if we saw all the positives in the way we look?

We are not suppose to fit into some kind of mold that makes us look like everyone else. We are one of kind each of us so we get to look the way we do without any limitations. We only limit ourselves when we try to look and be like anyone but us. Find all of your positive attributes ......... you have them believe me. Most of all what is inside of you is far more important than what is on the outside.

What if we decided that we are content with where we live at the moment?

Finding the positive parts of where we live right now helps us to not only feel better about where we are but it also helps us to move forward knowing that things will change as they always do and we will live other places that please us even more.

What if we were grateful for having a job knowing that by appreciating being employed always brings out the best feelings about our work.

Again this is about recognizing the fact that life wouldn't be easy for us if we were unemployed. Just knowing that we have a job to go to should be enough positive thinking to be able to at least work with some peace of mind.

If we are continually unhappy about everything then we cannot open the space for happiness to come into our lives. It is all a state of mind so use your thoughts to find the positive in every aspect of your life. 

Make a list of all the things  you have to be grateful for about your appearance.......your living conditions......your job. Once you see these things in writing it makes them real and trust me once you start writing you will find more than you ever thought about to be grateful for.

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?

Memory and the energy it brings.

Memories are one of the thought processes that are tricky at best.

Our memories are full of pictures of what was and how we use those pictures are so important not only to our energy but our general well-being also.

If we use them wisely we can think and feel the best case scenario possible and focus on the most positive past we can remember.

The past can be a treasure if we choose to look back and find the positive things that happened to us. There really are so many to choose from if we try to remember the good times.....the good places.....the good people.....the good things.

It is easy to look back and find what was wrong and as humans we tend to do this often.

• What if we took the time to really take a hard look at what was right instead of what was wrong?
• What if we focused on when in the past we were happy?

If we use our memories not so wisely we bring into our life a scenario that makes our lives a misery.

The past can haunt us if we use our memories to go back and see things only in a way that helps us remember the hurt or sadness or unhappiness we have lived through.

 If we allow it we can relive these negative times of our lives even blame our unhappiness today on those times if we choose to. But as you can see just by reading this the energy level drops to a very low point. We give life to something that is only a memory.......a time stamp if you will that can never happen again in the same way.

• What if we let go and let those unhappy memories become a nonstarter in our thoughts?
• What if we allow ourselves the opportunity to heal from anything in the past that still affects us just by not giving them attention?

It is up to us to choose where we want our energy to be focused. We can feel good about our lives if we choose to use our memories in a positive and upbeat way.

We can choose to not forget but to stop giving life to something that is behind us and is over. It is really a choice about living in the now in a way that brings light and love into our personal space.

It is about the choice to be vital with positive energy or to be negative and living in the past with unhappiness.

The negative effect of fear on your energy.

Fear is a negative faith. With fear the most negative thoughts and feelings become the foundation in which we navigate our life.

Fear can be a learned behavior that includes anxiety. If we have someone who has raised and nurtured us and their example was to be fearful and anxiety ridden then of course we follow along with that pattern it is human nature to do so.

If someone is telling us to be fearful of certain things in life and we follow along then fear takes the front seat of how we think and feel on certain subjects.

Fear can be all consuming and it is so detrimental to all that we are because as humans we are always looking for happiness and joy and peace for ourselves and fear is the exact opposite of all of those.

When we are fearful of anything our energy is almost nonexistent. We are frozen in a thought process that does not allow us to go forward and live a full life. 

• What if we decided to take a look at the fear we feel and ask questions about why we feel this way?
• What if we use the feelings of hope and faith to replace the fear we feel?
• What if we stop allowing anyone to encourage or instigate fear within us?

Our energy is so important. It helps us to for forward and live life in a way that is happy and productive. The more positive the energy the more we can accomplish. 

By understanding that fear is a state of mind that triggers thoughts and feelings which are negative then we can go on to thinking and feeling in a more positive way.

Don't give your energy to someone else.

How often is your focus on another person and what they are doing or how they are living? How often are your thoughts on changing them to align with the way you think and feel? I am sure that you do not realize how much energy you are giving to someone else's life when in fact you could be using it for your own and helping yourself move forward in a more positive way.

Whether it is a personal relationship...... a family relationship ........ a working relationship or any other outside of yourself and your thoughts and feelings are centered on changing them or having them see life the way you do each day becomes a chore and I am sure that you can feel your energy draining away as you use your focus for someone else's life instead of your own.

When you are angry or disappointed or sad about someone else's way of thinking and living you are wasting this precious time of life when you should be concentrating on who you are and what you want in a more positive way.

• What if you decided to let it go and focus on a more positive outlook for yourself without any other person influencing your thoughts and feelings?

By letting go of negative thoughts about any other person you then clear your mind to use thoughts about yourself and what you want for your own life.

Don't allow anyone else to have your energy......use it for yourself for your greater good. Everything will work out beautifully for you as relationships evolve just by you letting go.

Lifting your spirit by choosing your thoughts wisely.

The human condition seems to be the center of most conversations now everywhere you listen ........ look..... or read. The thing is everyone seems to be guided what to think by others about the human race and where it is headed. 

• What if we all chose to make a difference by not plugging into all of the chaos created by others and just believe in the goodness ...... kindness..... and compassion of most people in the world. 

It is amazing that all that bad it highlighted while the good that most people do is shadowed by that.

• What if we all chose one by one to make the world a better place by showing kindness to each other. Believe it or not a simple smile can make someone else feel better.

It is really up to all of us to make a change for the better so that change all over the world can take place. If we are angry and upset all of the time about the state of everything that energy becomes almost tangible and that makes it powerful. Why are we letting a handful of people tell us that to think and feel? Why are we following the anger and hatefulness that does not make a comfortable state of being?

• What if we took our personal space back and started to feel better about everything just by being kinder and more compassionate towards each other?

We look to others always whether they are leaders or clergy or anyone who has a distinct voice to tell us what is going on and how to think about it. It is time now to just question why we are following instead of making up our own minds and creating a world we want to live in which means we all have to change our attitude about following and become free thinkers who use their energy for not only our own greater good but the greater good of the world.

You may think you are only one person but when one person starts thinking about how great the world would be if we all let go of anger and hatred and we decide to live lives that matter just by getting along and caring for one another there would be a change like no other and the world would be a better place to live.

Use your own thoughts to create your own energy for the better. Your energy combined with others in the quest to be your own person in a content and happy way is truly the beginning of something great.

Where is your energy today?

• What if you start the week with your thoughts and feelings bringing your energy level where you are ready to have a positive week?
• What if you thought about how you treated the idea of problems.

 Everyone believes they have them whether large or small. It always seems to be the habit to focus on what is wrong.......what brings us down.......what is overwhelming. If we start our week this way it opens the door to negativity which in turn brings our energy level way down and makes our daily life unhappy.

• What if you started to focus on a solution instead of the problem? Trying to find options is so much better than worrying and being upset.

Once you start to think about solutions you will be surprised at how they sort of line up one after the other once you open that thought process.

Clear your mind completely of any stress or worry and really think about how everything will work out if done one way or the other. I am sure there will be several ways to look at it once you have taken charge of your thoughts.

Let your emotions help you with this also. When you think of a solution you feel so much better which shows you that this is definitely the direction you need to go.

Remember too all of the times things have worked out for you in the past. You will be surprised once you think about it how many times all was taken care of.

Bring your energy level up knowing that you are working to bring yourself the positive outcomes you deserve.

Remember this is for your well-being and your greater good.

How are you using your energy?

 

We are all full of energy ……..or not. It all depends on where we allow our thoughts to wander. Thinking about anything has an energy meter if you will and you know when you are in tune with the positive or attached to the negative just by the way you feel.

Using your thoughts in the most positive way brings your energy meter way up. You feel optimistic…..upbeat…..ready to live life to the fullest. When you feel this way your mind and body respond so you have a burst of energy that propels you to go forward with hope and faith.

Using them in a negative way brings your energy meter to a low point where you don’t feel good health wise or emotionally. It seems that in this day and age it is a habit to find fault to be angry to even hate. These emotions are so negative that your mind and body feel them profoundly and this negativity allows health issues……. emotional upsets……. even the ability to function properly on a daily basis.

We give power to so many things just by focusing on them. If we are unhappy, we give life to unhappiness. It surrounds us and soon we are only focusing on what we feel is wrong in our life……in our surroundings…….in people……in the world. We soon start finding fault with everything and everyone.

Where is your energy today? Make a point to feel it. Find where your thoughts are headed and how they make you feel.

If you are feeling good, terrific, find more thoughts that match where your mindset is right now.

If you aren’t then how can you stop energizing those negative thoughts and feelings?

Always remember that everything that has ever happened to you is kept alive by the energy you give it. It’s like looking at a picture and all of a sudden it becomes a video because we have given it so much of our energy. Why would we possibly want to keep energizing things that were or things that make us feel bad? We must tell ourselves that this is the now and I need to use my energy wisely for my own greater good.

If we are angry about people……. situations…….the state of anything it does us no worldly good because we are feeling our worst at these times and this is not how life is supposed to be. We are not thinking clearly about much of anything.

Find your own happy place. What do you have to be grateful for? What is going right in your life? Even if you think these are small things use your focus to feel better and you will find that you see life in a much better way. You will even start to see more to be grateful

for once you acknowledge there are things going right for you.

It is up to you to use the energy of your beautiful spirit for your own wellbeing. Be mindful of everything that is right. Be mindful that change is always a good thing even though sometimes it isn’t apparent right away. Be mindful that by creating your own happy place in your own personal space you are changing the energy that surrounds you and you are making the effort to find the best possible life you can live.
