Steps to Break the Fear
1) Release Your Expectations 2) Live With Intention 3) No More Excuses 4) Practice Forgiveness 5) Avoid Complaining 6) Express Gratitude 7) Don't Beat Yourself Up 8) Acknowledge Your Good Being thankful for things you have in your life is a simple little exercise with powerful, life-changing results. When it becomes a habit, it changes the way you see and react to the world. Find at least 5 things to be thankful for every day and make a list of them right before going to bed at night. Be specific. Writing them down makes them more powerful. Be thankful for everything even the little things you usually take for granted. A few examples: a sunset, your adorable kitty, the smile on your child's face, a promotion, your latest sale, your health, a call from a friend, the shoes you bought on sale, a short line at the post office! Expressing gratitude can take any
negative situation and shift it into a positive opportunity. It will
lift your spirits and open your mind to a whole new world. Try this for
a month and notice the changes and expansion in your life.
Awareness
Game
What else can you do to become more aware of your thoughts?
Start paying attention to your friends, family members, and colleagues.
How do they talk to you? How do they think? Who and what triggers
insecure, negative thoughts, beliefs and feelings within you? If you
feel depressed or tired around certain individuals or situations, they
may be toxic to you. Avoid them if you can and make an effort to
surround yourself with healthy, loving, and supportive people.
Why not play a game while you are on the telephone? Keep a notepad by
the phone, and while having a conversation, jot down anything you find
yourself saying that isn't loving, positive, and supportive. Pay special
attention to the words you speak about yourself! You may be surprised by
some of the negative words that are spoken. Did you consciously know you
had these ideas and feelings? These seemingly unimportant little "awfulizing"
conversations not only influence your mood for the rest of the day, they
can be very damaging to your emotional, mental, and physical well-being.
Once you become aware, you'll be able to stop yourself and replace the
limiting words with positive, empowering words leaving you feeling more
joyful, energized, and confident! "If you can imagine it, you can create it." Some examples: Your thoughts are so powerful that they truly create your reality. Write your affirmations every evening and watch your mood shift, energy change and desires manifest. Create like lucky Charlie did! |
