Bring on the Sunshine

Well, for those of us on the bottom half of the planet, we're finally emerging out of a cold, wet, miserable winter into the perfect, cloudless days of Summer. This is such a powerful time on the psyche and a really interesting view into how much impact a little sunshine has on how we feel.

Only when we've been trapped inside, due to the cold and wet, do we really notice the change when the sun finally comes out... how does it feel? Take a moment to consult your emotions and see the sharp contrast. Energy levels increase, we become more optimistic, we are more fun to be around, we love going outside, we open ourselves up, we open our doors and windows to let the light and fresh air stream in... we become so uplifted!

Wouldn't it be nice if we could take the lesson from this and create this kind of amazing, positive reaction intentionally - regardless of whether the sun has just come out? We have the power to do it. Just something to think about...

Where Are Your Thoughts Taking You?

Have you ever counted how many times in a day the words “I don’t want” or “I can’t” come out of your well glossed lips?

Most people can tell you very quickly what’s wrong with their workplace, what they want to change on their body and what they don’t want in a partner… very few can tell you what they DO want.

This is a simple habit you can begin today and don’t be surprised at the changes you experience almost immediately (I don’t want to suggest that you can consciously create your dream life like this). Become the silent observer of your language both internally (in your own mind) and externally (speaking to others) and whenever you notice yourself expressing what you don’t want, change your language. Ask yourself… what do I want instead? Be descriptive, be specific and use positive words.

If I say to you “don’t think about the way you’re sitting right now”… what do you think about? But I told you NOT to think about it!!! The mind does not recognize negatives, it only processes the words with visuals attached and… what the mind can conceive, you can achieve. Each time you think about what you don’t want, you’re attracting exactly that. So… dream big, there are no limitations except those we place on ourselves. What do you want to be, do and have?
