Take Back Your Power
Iβve been giving a lot of thought to repetitive and unconscious thought patterns lately and how I allow them to steal my power. My mind can think any thought I choose for it to think, but sometimes I go though periods of time where I let it run on default and thatβs when my energy is off and life start to seem really hard.
I love listening to Joe Dispenza and he talks about how we allow the body to become the mind. In other words, how we do things without thinking just because itβs what weβve gotten used to doing. Sometimes, weβre not even aware of the thought behind the actionβ¦our bodies just do it. A good example would be with eatingβ¦we pop things into our mouths without even thinking and then, we have feelings of guilt. This is just one example, but you get the idea. Itβs cyclical and a cycle that can be broken with attention and intention.
What Iβve found helpful is very intentional meditation first thing in the morning, before I look at my phone or do much of anything else. As I mentioned, Iβm reading a book called The Neville Collection and Iβve been reading a few pages of that in the early morning, which puts me into a state of knowing that I have control of my thoughts and that I can create my life, one thought at a time! Michael Beckwith says βMind Your Mindβ and that is where meditation comes in. We are pure awareness and have the ability to consciously be aware of what weβre thinking. Iβve been setting an intention to be very focused on my goals for the day and my long term desires so I stay on track. Going into a meditation intentionally, means being keenly aware of what thoughts are going through my heads, coming back to my breath and sitting there until my mind is calm and Iβm ready to start the day. This is a time commitment that is well worth it.
Iβm creating a life full of wonderful memories, abundance of every kind, good health and success. Holding that vision, instead of going back to the βwhat ifsβ and thinking about problems, helps me stay focused on the future, while also enjoying the present moment.
Iβve found that itβs very important to read and study in order to keep my life moving forward in the way I want it too. During times when I allow myself to say Iβm too busy to read a chapter of a book or meditate, I start to slip into old habits, old thought patterns and I get down on myself. Spending time in meditation, study, contemplation and imaginative visualization can be life changing. When Iβm in this flow, Iβm moving forward with positive energy and everything in life seems easier.
Iβm not sure why I periodically forget this, but I do know that asking the Universe for βright next stepsβ always results in guidance that I never would have expected. Iβve written this before, but we are all βcreative expressions of the Source of all thingsβ and we hold that creative power within us.
Decide today to commit to living the life that you desire to live because your desires are there for a reason! Take time to take care of you and learn to love your very special unique self! Spend time in meditation, find a book or podcast or YouTube video that lights you up, journal, dream, visualize and I promise youβll see a difference in your life. Sure, go get that massage or pedicure, but rememberβ¦those things are for pleasure and taking care of the outside. Take care of the inside first. Mind Your Mind!
Just a little reminder as we go into the second half of the year today! If youβre feeling like youβve havenβt accomplished what you wanted to in the first 6 months, thereβs still time to end 2023 with a bang! Stay focusedβ¦get out there and make beautiful memories! Remember that the most important thing is that you are your best self and that starts with deciding which thoughts you choose to think. Being your best, most authentic, pure self is the best gift you can give to the people you love and the world!
Happy Happy July 4th weekend!
