Facing Reality
What is reality? Being a inner person my reality changes with my
thoughts. I change it at will. I realized this morning that I am
hyper-critical of myself in what I call reality. I see myself as
this middle aged woman 40 pounds overweight. My life lacks true
meaning. These are just negative thoughts that jump up in my
mind. But I am not a victim of these thoughts I can choose to
change them. I can relax and be what I really am a prosperous
child of Higher power. When I relax and let go and claim this
thought I become what I think. With all the difficulties we face
in life, it is especially important now that we begin
conditioning ourselves to think positive. Not only for our own
health and well-being, but for all the other lives we impact. A
pessimist will always see the dark side of things and blame
others, such as blaming the goverment, our president, the
neighbors, the boss. The other side of that is seeing things
like the Higher Power created them with awe and the eyes of a
child. To think more like an optimist, you must first be
grateful for everything in your life even the depressed dark
thoughts for they give you a clue how to change yourself and
your thinking to see the world in a different way. When you get
a compliment take it as an affirmation of your worth. Enjoy this
pat on the back by your fellow man, give yourself some pats on
the back too. In to order to make positive thinking yield
results, some inner work is necessary. You need to develop a
positive attitude towards life, and expect a successful outcome
of whatever you do. See yourself each day being successful at
what you are dreaming of even even if circumstances are to the
contrary. The mind does not know the difference between
imagination and what we call reality. So go to your quiet spot
and meditate. Imagine yourself doing what you are dreaming of
doing. A positive attitude and thoughts are contagious. You not
only draw into your life people who are postive, but people want
to be around you and help you because you help uplift them too.
Try some of the following suggestions:
When you catch yourself making a negative statement out loud or
in your thinking, turn it around and use its opposite to
reaffirm what you want. I can, I am able to, I am willing to do
this.
Find a way to fill your life with happiness, joy, and success
feelings. You can pull them from anywhere. Remember a time that
you felt joyful, successful, happy. Remember that the mind does
not know the difference between this present moment and the
past. So you can pull these positive feelings from anywhere. We
have all had these feeling at some time even if we do not have
them right now. You can have them right now by just imagining
that you do.
Refuse to take delivery on negative thoughts. Pretend the
thought is being delivered by UPS just refuse delivery. Pretend
that you are talking to the UPS guy only talk to yourself. I
refuse delivery on this thought. I did not order it and do not
want it. smile.
When making any plan just visualize it as it had already
happened. I started a weight loss plan and I see myself 40
pounds lighter everyday and so does everyone else. People are
telling me how thin I have gotten and I have only been on my
plan for two weeks. lol you even effect how others see you.
Read inspiring articles, books, listen to inspiration tapes at
least a half an hour each day. What we fill our mind with grows.
Watch movies that are happy, rent a comedy, laughter is healing.
Fill your visual mind with happy thoughts.
Turn off the news. Stay informed and pray for our world leaders
but stay detached.
Associate with other people who think positively. This the most
important one of all. Find positive people and stick with the
winners.
Think always that Higher Power is bringing forth you Highest
good in each situation. Know what if you have strong faith in
this last one it happens.
Be grateful for all you already have, write a grateful list,
tell your friends and family you love them and how grateful you
are for them.
