“Enlightenment is easy, just think kind compliments of all things, and all people!” (Pa’Ris’Ha: http://www.parishaonline.com)
Many years ago I began to study all of the major religions and find a deeper way I could connect with the Source and better myself in the journey of life. One of the greatest life lessons I have learned and continue to explore is the power of our mind and how our thoughts do create our reality.
Today there is much new brain research and teachers sharing some of the mysteries of how our brain works and how our thoughts can affect our life and situations we find our-selves in.
When you appreciate something you almost always experience some feeling/emotion. For example: if you take a moment to appreciate the time you have with your family or a loved one you’ll sense some emotion – you’re going to feel good about this because you’re focusing on the positive aspects of the family or loved one. These feelings or emotions that you utilize when you appreciate someone will attract more positive things and more positive people into your life.
Why?
Whatever you focus on you will attract, whatever emotions you attach to what you focus on — you will attract in greater quantity.
If you focus on something positive you will attract more positive situations. If you focus on something negative – you will attract more negative situations. If you spend most of your day complaining, worrying, thinking about what isn’t right in your life, how your not making enough money, or your relationships aren’t ideal- through the power of your thoughts you will only attract more of those situations – and if you attach emotion to those thoughts – then you’re going to attract what you don’t want in greater quantities. Take time to look at what you regularly think about and then see if you attach any feeling to those thoughts. As an example: if you think about not having enough money and you have sad, depressed feelings/emotions –remember we are our thoughts. By regularly having negative thoughts and thoughts of doom and gloom – you’ll only attract more of the same.
One practice you can do to assist you in having more positive thoughts are to keep an appreciation journal and spend time at night before you go to bed to appreciate something in your life. It can be anything – you can appreciate the beautiful weather, the people in your life- anything and everything- there is so much around us to be grateful for!
When you work with the Power of Appreciation you suddenly stop having negative thoughts and you actually start attracting more positive things into your life. Notice that when you do that your mind shifts, your focus shifts, your emotions shift and the energy you send out shifts. Instead of focusing on something negative and attracting more negative situations – you start feeling better and you start attracting more positive situations into your life. Which would you enjoy more? Feeling good about something or feeling down and out about something. Attracting positive situations or attracting negative situations?
Watch the magic of the power of appreciation as it flows in your life!
