 For most of my life, I haven't been able to see how my
thoughts were affecting my situation. I understood the concept of changing my perception from negative to positive, but I didn't quite get how living as if my life was already the way I wanted it to be, could possibly have an affect on my life experiences. recently I have been doing some work on myself internally. When I catch myself feeling upset, distracted, sad, annoyed, or [insert negative feeling here], I envision myself in the same situation, only with positive emotions. I close my eyes, and really feel, how it would feel for the situation to be enjoyable. For example, just this morning, I was waiting in line for my morning coffee, and I was already running late on my commute to work. I found myself feeling annoyed that all 3 people behind the counter were walking back and forth, and not taking orders. There were only 3 people ahead of me in line, and no one was taking their orders. I felt frustrated and annoyed, even entitled. When I have found myself in similar situations in the past, I would get stressed out, tell myself I was going to be late, and curse in my head at the people behind the counter. The great thing about the work that I've been doing lately, is that I caught myself getting frustrated, and in that moment, I was able to close my eyes, and see myself with the coffee in my hand, I could feel it's warmth, and I also saw myself arriving on time to work. Within about 20 seconds, I was at the beginning of the line, and ordering my drink. I made it to work on time, in spite of getting a late start. I have never believed in coincidences, or wishful thinking. I have always known that when I put energy into a project, a relationship, or finding a job, I will get results. They may not have always been the results I wanted, but they were the results that were meant to be. I have also known that everything happens for a reason, and it's how I choose to respond that makes the difference. I have come to learn that thoughts are brainwaves, therefore, if I put out negative energy, that is what I will attract, and if I remain grounded, and focus on the positive, and end result, I may just be amazed by what my life has in store for me. I have experienced many synchronicities in the past, but they seemed to be coincidences, so I didn't really pay attention to them very often, (unless they were a warning sign of sorts) instead, I would brush them off as no big deal. Today, I choose to see them as gifts and possibilities. |
