Affirmative Action

What is the secret to being happy? To getting what you want? To avoiding the pitfalls of life?

One way is to pay attention to what you say, think and do. Our thoughts are energy waves. When a person thinks that she will pass the test, receive the bonus or he is a leader, then that energy goes out into the universe and helps to create the desired state.

If a person thinks that he is ugly, not good at her job or thinks that “there is always something negative to deal with…” then that negative energy goes out into the universe and helps to bring about the same desired state.

One way to overcome the continuous negativity in your life and to begin receiving the good is to start training your brain to be positive! This type of self-talk is called affirmations. In the morning, while preparing for the day, look in the mirror and tell yourself the things that you want to believe but at this moment do not believe. You can even tape the written affirmations to your mirror.

For example, you may think that you are weak, ugly, dry and lacking in public confidence. Now, take these few areas and make them positive. Say: ”I am strong, I am handsome, I am funny, I am confident, I am good at my job, etc.

When you do this every day, you will begin to notice a change in your thoughts and behavior. Other’s may make comments about the change as well. When you have mastered these characteristics, try others.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“In order to create the things that you need in this world, you must learn to see the world as you want it to be rather than how it is.” tc
