Who is That Whispering to You?

Have you ever noticed when you begin to work on something new to improve your life, whether it's starting to use a new affirmation or making a lifestyle change, like going on a new diet, a new energy seems to takeover and things just seem to be going your way.  There you are just skipping along all happy go lucky when in strolls "the devil".  Negative thoughts begin to bombard you, the feelings of enthusiasm soon turn to doubt and your mood goes from high to low in no time flat.

That devil, that seeks to challenge your good intentions, is merely a part of your subconscious mind.  A part that is resisting change and when "the devil" starts to whisper his fallacious statements to you, you know you are on the right track and in the process of building a new beliefs to replace the old ones. 

This is the time in the process of creating a better life that it's most important to press on and not give in to those old thought patterns. Whenever that devil whispers to you, say to yourself, cancel, cancel, cancel.  Then immediately think of anything at all that makes you happy.  Don't let him settle in and make himself at home, he's not welcome. 

The News and How It Shapes Your Views

In the last post, Being The Boss of Your Subconscious Mind, we talked about using the power of visualization to attract things we want and how your subconscious has a built in reference guide.

Today we are going to talk about attracting things through default.  We do this when our emotions react to outside influences.  We need to be consciously aware of the outside world but we also need to choose what we accept to be Truth.

Watching the news on any given day could give rise to emotions that your financial situation is doomed. I was talking to a business owner a couple of weeks ago.  He had been working on a pretty big sale that would earn him a large commission, then he said, "But I'm not so sure about it, what with the price of gas going up along with everything else. People just don't have the money to spend."  It's times like that I just want to ask people if they hear what they are actually saying.  Not only is he saying it but from his body language I could tell he was emotionally attached to the statement.  If he let's that belief take hold he will surely sabotage the deal, but in his mind it wouldn't have been his fault but the fault of the economy.

There's nothing wrong with watching the news and being informed.  The problem is when you get emotionally involved and start living according to the influence rather than using your own power of creative thinking to shape your own personal experiences.

There are so many people that thrive personally in a bad economy.  I remember when I first started out on my own and moved into my own place.  I was out buying furniture, going out on the weekends, shopping at the mall.  Why?  Because my personal economy was doing just fine.  I honestly didn't have a clue what the "recession" meant and why I should even care about it.  Ahh, there are times that ignorance is bliss because it surely shows that our own beliefs are a strong force to shape our personal world in wonderful ways.  

One of my favorite quotes is by Zig Ziglar - "There's not a lot you can do about the national economy but there is a lot you can do about your personal economy."

Being The Boss of Your Subconscious Mind

What are you telling your subconscious that you want?  Your subconscious mind is like your own personal errand boy.  You tell him what you want and he sets out to get it.  Pretty simple right?

It's important that you tell the errand boy what you really want.  If you say, "I'm so sick and tired." The errand boy quickly goes to his reference book, one that you've written and looks up sick and tired.  Then speeds along to find things that will make you even more "sick and tired".  He brings your boss by your desk to annoy you, he makes sure you get in the right line at the grocery store so you will have a nice long wait and a cashier that irritates you. He then proceeds to put some letters that you're not going to like very much in your mailbox, for when you get home.  He might even give the dog your favorite sandal to chew on.  Wow, he's good!

On the flip side, you tell your errand boy I want to be rich!  He goes to look that up in the reference book and finds under the word rich a story about you when you were ten and you found five dollars and you felt so rich!  So he goes about his way and gets you an extra five dollars.  He is still awesomely proud of himself because once again he has done exactly what he was told to do.

How about you tell him that you'd like to go out to eat and you are sure about it! He'll get a friend to call and say, "I was just thinking of you, would you like to go out to dinner?" or maybe you'd get a coupon in the mail from your favorite restaurant. He is helping you get what you want but you have to follow through.  If you tell your friend no or trash the coupon because you really shouldn't go, then it's you that has the problem, he's done his job, he's laid out a path for you and he'll keep doing it whether you are a good boss or bad.

Your errand boy also has the greatest cell phone reception ever!  You'll tell him that you want new furniture for the living room.  He'll set out to find it, not only the furniture but also the means of which to obtain it. While he is on his journey you call him and say, "You know, maybe instead of brown, I'd like something more creamy, and he's out to get creamy.  Then you'll think you'd like leather instead of fabric, so he changes course to find what you want.  Your last words to him might be well we don't have the money for that so just forget it.  And so he does!

We must give our subconscious a good reference as to what we want from it.  Hold in your mind those things that you want whether it's good health, wealth, happiness or a loving relationship.  Use your past as a reference or write new entries by making a vision board and using visualization. And last but not least give him time to go out and get the things you want before changing your mind.  Hold on to the thought, if he hasn't brought it to you yet, send him reminders, i.e. affirmations.  He won't ever get annoyed no matter how many times you tell him you want something and he loves for you to be specific, it makes it easier for him to do his job.

Raising Your Deserve Level - Focus on Yourself

"Why not me?"  This is a common question many people ask themselves.  Often times we look around and see on the surface what other people have and it becomes a frustration that festers.  As we concentrate on what others have and what we lack, we manifest more lack in our own lives. As a result, we begin to feel less than and that can lead to depression and health problems.

In order to have a prosper and healthy life we need to concentrate on our own lives, which made me think of The 10th Commandment, which states:  Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor’s.

Begin today being thankful for all the things you do have, when thoughts of envy or wonder about what others have say to yourself, "cancel, cancel, cancel".  Don't compare what you have to what others have, begin to know that God is the provider of all things and that He does not discriminate!  "Before they call, I will answer" - Isaiah 65:24  God already has more blessings for you than you can possibly imagine.  Know that you deserve them, accept them as yours and expect them.

I deserve, accept and except all the wonderful blessings that God already has for me.  


Lucky Man Montgomery Gentry

Gratitude is The Antidepressant

You know that you can change the way you are feeling in just minutes! Even better not only is it fast, it's free!

All too often we give way too much attention to the things in life that aren't good.  Whether it's debt or a relationship problem with a friend, family or even a coworker.  Think about that?  Why? Why would we allow ourselves to waste our precious time on this planet to think about things or people that we don't feel good about. Those things and people will always be a part of our lives but we don't have to give them our time and energy.

You can change your life right now, right this minute by choosing to give less of your time and energy those negative situations and/or people by beginning to focus on the good and wonderful things you have in your life.  What are you truly grateful for?  Be honest with yourself! Feel the feeling of how blessed you really are.  Start thinking of all the wonderful people and things in your life.  No Eeyores allowed! It doesn't work if you moan out, I'm grateful for my family.  No!  You have to feel it and know in your heart how precious life is how wonderful the things you have are.  

There are opportunities to be grateful at every turn.

Make a list start with loved ones, mentors, then move onto things.  They don't have to be things that are big. Yes, I'm thankful for my home and I feel so blessed but there are those little things in life to be grateful for also. Things that we overlook when we are too consumed with the negative.  I start my day with being oh so grateful for the hot shower I'm taking.  Thank God for the people that came before me that invented and built the means by which I enjoy that warm soothing moment every morning! Ahhh!

Start now making the list and you will be amazed how quickly you will feel uplifted!  This comes with lasting benefits as well because the more you are thankful, the more you will have to be thankful for.

Turning Your Life Around - General Positive Affirmation

There are times when we all find ourselves in a negative state of mind.  This can be in any area of your life, a relationship, work or business, or a money problems.  Sadly when we have a problem we tend to focus on it rather than all the good things around us. 

If you find yourself polluting all the good things in life with the problem, that problem can create more difficulties in other areas of your life.  As an example, if you are having financial problems the way you handle it can have a negative affect on your marriage.  There are times when saying a specific positive affirmation feels more like a lie and hardly believable and if anything that affirmation might just compound the problem with making you more angry.

We are all human and it happens.  For myself when I have these sorts of days or times I like to use the below affirmation. It's a combination of many affirmations that I've found over the years and joined together. 

Use it whenever your thoughts are creeping in the wrong direction, repeating it as often as needed or over and over as you fall asleep at night.

I forgive the world, the world forgives me and I forgive myself.  I release any resistance and I accept the good God has for me now.
