The Power of Our Thoughts

The Power of Our Thoughts

We are what we eat and apparently we are what we think. Thinking is as subconscious as breathing and most of us, heck probably all of us, are on auto pilot much of the time... worrying about things, going through the to do list, fixating on what's gone wrong lately or who we're mad at. A lot of wise people tell us that if we can harness all of the time and thoughts spent this way, we can manifest anything we want in life. If we can become conscious of where and how our mind wanders and insert some different ideas/dreams/statements, life can be our oyster.

So, how to proceed.... probably easier said than done, right... and like getting in shape, or staving off sugar cravings, patience, practice, creating a habit will all be necessary. We can try writing out what we want each day (which is also what a lot of wise people advise), and re-reading our list of what we want each day. Reading great books on an ongoing basis can help with this focus as well (Ask and It is Given, Esther and Jerry Hicks). I've heard a lot of people pooh-pooh books like The Secret and I get it... what we covet can seem very elusive. The explanation is supposed to be that we unknowingly focus as much, if not even more,  on what we don't want. For example we might want to make more money, but we're stressed daily about our bills and looking at a negative bank balance. Or we want to find someone great to share our life with, but all we see is gold digging women, or married men hitting on us. So! As much as we can muster, we are supposed to visualize and imagine living in the way we so desire. Fantasize about what that higher wage will pay for, or dream about all of the fun things we'll do with the lovely person of our dreams.... Sounds good to me. I think I can do that:)
