When learning how to take control of your life, the first step involves stepping away from those things that prevent you from connecting with yourself. What does that mean exactly?
First, let's take into consideration the situation you are in. If you're unhappy with your circumstances, unclear on what you want, or know what you want and are not sure how to get there, this article is for you. In order to change anything about your life that you aren't satisfied with you have to break the old patterns that have gotten you this far. Now there are things about you that you're probably very happy with, but most likely there's a great deal in your life that leaves you feeling unfulfilled.
If you truly want to change anything in your life, you must begin by changing some aspects of yourself. It is important to realize that everything we experience in our daily life is merely an extension of what we believe to be true about our existence. What that means is we only experience those things that we believe we are capable of experiencing. If we are constantly in the mindset that bad things happen all the time, guess what. That's right. Bad things will always happen to prove your belief. Once you can accept the notion that our reality is a reflection of our state of mind, you will soon find that seeing is not believing. In fact, believing is seeing.
Perception is reality. The only way to start seeing different results in our experience of the world around us is to adjust our perception of our experience. The challenge is in changing the energy behind our thoughts. Positive thoughts magnetize positive experiences. Negative thoughts invite negative experiences. Making a big change from negative thinking to positive thinking may seem daunting at first, but if I can do it, anyone can.
1. Think of any positive belief that you have about anything.
Do you think you're a great driver? A great cook? Are you good at reading people? Do you know all there is to know about stamps from the 1950's? Do you firmly believe in God or Heaven? Find something you hold a lot of positive feelings and thoughts about and write those ideas down. This will help prove to yourself that deep down you hold tons of positive thoughts. Ask yourself why you believe these things, and you're likely to come up with tons of evidence to support your positive thoughts. This is important as it is a testament to the notion of evidence as a result of belief.
2. Don't listen to naysayers.
Turn off the TV, ignore the radio, and stop listening to that angry music. When you really believe in yourself, you are often willing to ignore parents, teachers, friends and anyone else who tells you that you can't do something. At least at first. Sometimes you are willing to give up on a goal, talent, or dream because of these outside influences. Remember, they are a part of YOUR experience. You decide what you want to accomplish, and you get to decide who has the power to discourage you. Ultimately, only you have the power to choose to give up. Ignore the odds and, with persistence, you can craft your ideal life.
3. Use Affirmations
Many people say that affirmations do not work. That is because there is an intrinsic belief that is not harmonious with this newly introduced idea. Have fun with them. Attaching an emotion to an affirmation helps to implant it that much faster. Sing your affirmation, turn it into a fun rhyme, make a poster out of it, use it as your screensaver. Think of ways that the media can put messages into your mind and use those techniques to change your programming. Figure out what it took to place the beliefs that you want to change, and use those tactics to implement your new affirmations.
4. Act!
Don't give in to feelings of depression and the lazy inaction that can come with it. Stand up, stretch, jump around, get the blood flowing and say thank you for the 2 or 3 things you can think of that DO make you happy. Chances are once you can name a couple of things you're grateful for, more will pop into you head. Focus on the positive and do something. Write down what you're thinking, listen to some happy music, or do something kind for someone else. That's a quick and easy way to pump serotonin into your brain. Your emotions are heavily influenced by your actions!
By giving in to feelings of negativity you are perpetuating the cycle. Start breaking the cycle by bringing focus on what positive you do have in your life and more is sure to follow. Just remember that action is the quickest way to seeing the results you desire! A journey only begins when you take the first step. Envisioning the steps don't get you there...yet!
