A morning in the life of a positive mind
The birds are singing a sweet melody. The air is crisp, feeling like a gentle lover’s kiss on my cheek, and the taste of a new fresh morning is delicious. Is this morning different? Or am I different?
Most likely explanation is I am different. Mornings have always been lovely – I can see that now, thanks to the power of positive affirmations.
I used to be so engrossed in my loud worries and wound up in high stress that I forgot how to listen to or feel or taste a new day of life.
Do you know the feeling, being “too busy” to even feel the sensations in your own body, much less those around you?
But I used to build up a lot of problems that didn’t even exist. I used to make up a lot of stories in my head that weren’t true.
It wasn’t until I started working with clients and students that I saw what I was doing.
You can’t be a role model to others while you’re still repeating negative patterns of thought and behavior. You have to fix yourself first!
When you see someone else behaving negatively, it’s a turn-off. When you hear someone else complain incessantly and be ungrateful, it’s disgusting. Why not apply the rules to you?
Why do you spot negativity so easily in others but not in yourself?
After all, the only person you can change is YOU! Changing anyone else is your own made-up delusion.
You can’t change your spouse, your child, your mother, your brother, your father, your client, your boss, your neighbor, your teacher, your [insert anyone in your life].
But you may decide to die trying. It won’t work but go right ahead if you insist.
Unless of course, you want a path of happiness in your life. And inner peace. And calm mind. And happy heart. And focused productivity. And wealth and abundance. And constant joy and laughter in your daily life.
Then keep reading!
Have you approved of yourself lately?
Or are you so busy criticizing yourself that you can’t find “anything” to approve of?
That’s because your negative thoughts have taken up all the space in your mind, leaving so little for positive, affirmative thoughts and beliefs.
After I started using positive affirmations, I was able to hear not just the sounds of nature again, but my own true inner voice, the one that approved of who I am, the one that loved me and felt I was important.
FACT: Your negative thoughts are not who you are. Your negative thoughts are not the truth.
So while you have a choice, why not believe the stories of a positive mind?
The question I get from skeptics right around this moment “So why not believe in fairy dust and unicorns and magic while you’re at it?”
Very cute, right? Except a positive mind and a happy heart are not delusions. You are not denying reality by choosing positive over negative. Reality just is. You are just enabling yourself to live your best life with a healthy attitude and nurturing mindset, and opening the pathways in your brain for envisioning your goals easier.
It’s very simple: You can’t live a positive happy life with a negative mind.
So if you want to be happy, if you want to free yourself of a trapped life, if you are sick of living with scarcity and never having enough – enough love, enough happiness, enough money, enough good relationships – then isn’t it worth your time and effort to try a positive mind?
You’ve lived your whole life with negativity and it’s served you how? Not very well.
Retrain your thinking to work for you – not against you
The exposure level to positive affirmations is directly related to the level of success you have with them. So the higher your exposure, the more your success.
If you are exposing yourself to positive affirmations once a week or once a month, you will barely -if at all – notice the results.
Why?
Because your brain does not receive nearly enough momentum to shift direction.
Imagine having to move a rock. You’re not going to give it a gentle nudge and expect magic, are you?
You have to apply enough force to move it away from its resting and then enough momentum to keep it going in the direction you desire.
Same with your negative thinking. You have to apply enough persistent exposure to positive affirmations to get results.
The power is not in the numbers alone but in the frequency. So when you do something every single day, you will get results. Good, consistent and growing results.
That’s why I recommend 12 minutes of audio affirmations per day to start shifting yourself out of negative thoughts as you slowly move first toward a neutral state and then towards positive thoughts. Over time, you will increase your positive thoughts and reduce negative thoughts, and your default mode will become positive.
How does the power of positive affirmations heal real life problems?
If your mind is churning negative upon negative thoughts, you are not solving a single problem. You are creating a hundred more problems that were not there in the first place.
Your mind needs to be in a state of relaxation and harmony in order to think clearly and to support you in the direction of life you’re going.
You get into a state of calm and relaxation by using positive thoughts.
Positive affirmations – when used the right way – are the ultimate easiest, fastest and most efficient way to generate those positive thoughts.
Still with me?
See, your thinking creates your reality and it affects your life in every single way.
Unhappy in your relationships?
Frustrated with your career?
Upset with your children?
Disgusted with your body?
Insecure in your finances?
It’s because you are making up stories, blaming others, looking at the problem through dirty lenses, and denying your own power to take control of your life.
You have personal power to make it happen. The question is …
You have personal power that can turn your life around right now or keep you stuck in your rut.
The question is: What will do you about it?
You either choose to use it or throw it away unopened.
So the way to heal is from the inside out. If you get this concept, you will have everything you want in life.
But that’s a big leap of faith, so start small and prove yourself right.
