So how can you literally talk yourself into feeling better? How can you flip it so that you can reach your tipping point and feel really good more often than not?
I'm not going to lie to you. It's going to take a lot of practice. However, you CAN feel better immediately. Practice will help you to do it on a more regular basis until feeling good becomes a habit for you. You WANT to feel good when you see it is helping you to bring even MORE "better feeling" things into your life! There are many techniques that can be used to change your thoughts. We will focus on two of today.
1. You have already begun to use this technique today. Take your mind back to that "really good" day you had. Stay with it. Remember every detail about that day. Was anyone with you? Remember smells, visuals, words that were said. Did you laugh? How did your body feel? Any detail that you consider will help but even just a general feeling of happiness will work. Even just spending a couple of minutes in this memory will shift your mood. Your mind will start to feel lighter and you are already changing the direction of your day. You have told the Law Of Attraction that your focus is now put on something that feels good. Because you have made the decision to feel better, you have taken charge of your own happiness. Now more happiness will be available to you. Some of your issues may already start to feel a little more manageable.
If you set your Intention and state "Today I will only look for things that make me feel good", you will now start to find those things. It is normal to question whether or not it is working but when you start to see changes you will trust it more.
The Law Of Attraction does not decide what's best for you. It leaves that up to you. It just simply gives you more of what you most think and feel about. There is a buffer of time so you need not worry that you will manifest every thought you have. The thoughts that become your reality are the ones that are the most dominant and have the most emotion behind them. That is why going back to your happy day will create strong emotion that will serve you highly.
2. Tell yourself a new story. This is one of my favorites. ( Authors Jerry and Esther Hicks cover this in great detail.) When you are feeling poorly, the first order of business is to get yourself some relief. You cannot actively hold a positive and a negative thought in your head at the same time. So you are literally going to talk yourself into better thoughts. You choose any words you like. It may start like this...
I am looking forward to feeling better.
I know I can feel better because I have before.
Wow! I really am starting to feel better already!
This really is a good moment!
I'd really like to have more good moments!
Etc...insert your own feel good lines.
Get excited!
Have fun with it!
There is now
scientific proof that thoughts and intentions can alter our physical
world. Dr. Masaru Emoto, a researcher and alternative healer from Japan,
has shown a good deal of evidence of the "magic of positive
thinking". Perhaps you've seen the 2004 film "What The
Bleep Do We Know?". He became famous when his water molecule
experiments were featured in this movie. The water that was spoken to
with positive words became more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing.
The water that was spoken to in a negative manner began to look more dark and
distorted.
Food for thought...
the average human body is about 60% water.
Whether or not we
believe that our thoughts can change our reality, most of us can agree that it
feels better to feel better. When we decide to make a conscious effort to
be more aware of our thoughts, we have a choice we can make. Do we like
what we are hearing in our heads or not? If not, we have another choice
to make. Do we want to change what we are hearing and take a leap of
faith? A leap into an area that may be very unfamiliar to us. An
area where we decide to turn our criticisms into compliments, our complaints
into silence and our worries into laughter. Watching not only how we
think about circumstances and other people, but also how we speak to
ourselves.
Many of the things we
tell ourselves about ourselves are things we would never say to someone we
love. Speaking to yourself with the support that you would give your best
friend will begin to empower you in a way that you deserve. When we are
used to self criticism it can be difficult to accept a compliment, especially
from yourself. The more we practice, the more comfortable it
becomes. When we decide to make this practice part of our daily lives it
gets easier. We have taken charge and made a conscious decision to be
happy.
The Law Of Attraction is always turned on. Many of us are creating our lives via autopilot. You deserve an active role in your life. You deserve to have all the happiness your heart desires. By choosing to lean into happiness on a more regular basis, you are choosing to create your life on purpose. It takes practice. It takes awareness of thought. It takes responsibility to say "I am accountable for my thoughts." But when you decide to create your life on purpose...anything is possible! When you catch yourself feeling badly give yourself the gift of redirecting your thoughts. It takes less than 5 minutes and YOU deserve to be HAPPY!!!
