Did you know that everything you do is a habit? You wake up almost the same way every morning; you probably have some routine down getting ready in the morning and everything else you do throughout the day.
Did you know that your attitude is also habit as well and to change your life you need to change your attitude? One of the things that affect us the most is our thinking. The power of our thoughts is amazing and we still do not know the extent of it but it can do a lot for us and others.
One thing we easily get pulled in to is thinking negatively. It surrounds us so it is no wonder we cannot get out of it. Turn on the TV and the news always has information that does not uplift, we are constantly at war somewhere in the world and people always want to gossip behind people’s backs.
We start our day out in a good mood and think “today, I am going to be positive and think positively.” Then you bump into one negative person, then another and then yet another and your intention of being positive is out the window and you find yourself snapping at people. Ooops, what went wrong? You got pulled in to other energies and turned your positive into negative.
Going back to what I originally said… everything we do including our thoughts is a habit. Those thoughts dictate how our lives are, whether we live, day to day, wondering where our next meal is coming, live in luxurious estates with so much money or just in between with a comfortable living. We pull those energies in and our day to day thought keeps us there. BUT with those thoughts are our actions as well. Once we get comfortable thinking we are in this place, we keep doing the same thing over and over so that it does not go anywhere.
You may have a thought of doing something different but because of habit, you do it once and then back to your routine. So how do you break it? That is up to you to figure out because everyone does things differently. Some use notes to themselves to change their thoughts, others use things such as bracelets or a ring to remind of the change they want to make. Whatever way you go, you have to keep doing it until it becomes a habit.
One of the things I did a couple years ago was to get rid of my cable so I don’t watch TV unless it is to watch a movie with my DVD player. I don’t have any bad or negative news coming in that way. I also avoid people that I know are negative and used to pull me in to their negativity. I surround myself with positive, spiritual people to help me change my thoughts. I have various inspirational or motivational sites that send me emails with great messages every day. When I read it gives my day a wonderful start and on a positive note. I listen to positive and uplifting music more often now.
If you are in the mood to make that shift, get a friend to help you. When two people combine their energies, it becomes easier to make the change from negative to positive. The best thing is that positive thinking really helps you to feel better inside. You will be surprised how fast positive thoughts can draw more positive people in your life to help you change your thoughts and help you help others change theirs as well.
Sending you positive energy to send you into the light!
