Building the New
Something I work on daily, is to watch my thoughts. Too often, I remember something that happened to me, how I felt, or what transpired. Almost like playing the same “record” over and over until I realize what’s happening and catch myself. “Wait a minute, I don’t want to repeat that scenario again do I?”
Instantly, I look for a better feeling thought. Push fast forward… to where I see myself in the future. What do I want to be doing, with who and where? How do I feel? What can I think about that instantly puts a smile on my face? How can I serve others to bring joy to them, which ultimately will bring me more joy too?
When you notice what you want to do, do you also notice the lack of it? For instance, we are traveling right now, as a family and it costs a lot to do anything. I want to go to Paris, (“but do we have the money for that?” which would instantly permeate most people’s mind.)
You can’t want something but notice that it’s not there. The Law of Attraction works by bringing you what you are thinking about. It doesn’t decipher between your “wants” and “don’t wants.” When one of us mentions something negative, along side a positive desire, we will remind each other that “there is more money where that came from.” Or “there’s always money coming in.”
Until it becomes part of your daily vibration and one of abundance, not lack. “Our bills are always paid a month in advance.” “We always have money in the bank.” Notice there is no wobble in that thought. It is only positive. And besides, doesn’t it feel better to think and say those positive reminders, of how wonderful your life is, rather than focus on what you don’t have or don’t deserve?
“The Universe does not know whether the vibration that you’re offering is because of something you’re observing or something you’re remembering or something that you are imagining. It just receives the vibration and answers it with things that match it.” -Abraham
I even ask my children those questions: “Why are you happy today? What are you grateful for?” Especially when they are throwing a tantrum. I will do anything I can to stimulate a smile, including “tickle missiles”! I learned from my dad, when he used to chase me around the house, trying to tickle me if I was mad at him. It’s ok to cry and be angry, but you can do it quietly in your room until you’ve found a reason to be happy, then you can come back in here and smile and tell me why you have a great life.
Life can be as wonderful as your thoughts allow it to be,
