Personal empowerment comes from right thoughts.
Your thoughts will either spiral you upward and assist you in feeling good or if they are not kept in balance they will spiral you downward, and make you feel not so good.
On a particular morning this summer I experienced a series of small events that could of put me into a downward spiral if I had left my mind have a party at my expense.
My first challenge that morning was when I checked my e-mails indicating that the site I was sending folks to in order to view a video had no video. I thought that was rather curious so I checked the hosting site where I discovered that not only was the video not to be found, but that furthermore my account was no longer valid and all of my videos were gone. I thought there has to be a reason for this and told myself
Just remain calm Lynette and know that there is something to be learned from this technology glitch.
Another hour went by and my 20 year-old son got up and proceeded to cook breakfast for himself and went off to work. When I made my way back to the kitchen, I discovered he had left much of his stuff lying around dishes, newspaper and so on.
Do not get me wrong I love my son dearly and 9 times out of ten he is extremely responsible. He is an excellent young man and more mature then most 30 year olds I know. Yet, this morning when I saw the stuff lying around I thought Am I letting too many things go by? Now you can see my thought pattern already having the potential to spiral downward - definitely not leading me to self mastery.
More time elapsed and the mailman came to the door. I quickly checked the box as I was expecting a check for tens of hundreds of dollars. Actually the funds should of been there a few days earlier, and I was counting on that money for a particular project. Still, it was not there.
At that moment, I was thinking I could actually let myself have a not so good day with one negative thought leading to another negative thought. Instead, I told myself Lynette this is a good time to practice the strategy of pivoting that Esther and Jerry Hicks - in their book Money and the Law of Attraction have taught you.
As you look for a better-feeling way to approach whatever you are giving your attention to; as you continue to ask yourself, from your ever-changing vantage point, "What is it that I do want?" eventually you will be standing in a very pleasing place—for you cannot continually ask yourself what it is that you do want without your point of attraction beginning to pivot in that direction . . . The process will be gradual, but your continued application of the process will yield wonderful results in only a few days. Jerry and Esther Hicks
So I decided to go out for a walk and pivot to change those thoughts so that each thought could lead to another better feeling thought; to reach for that better feeling place, and get to that feeling of relief.
To practice pivoting, I threw on my track shoes and off I went, and consciously chose my thoughts. The following thoughts flowed through my mind, and I told myself the following things:
I love the thought that I will learn something new from this computer glitch.
I love the thought that there are people who can answer my questions and help me learn more about technology.
I love the thought that my son is very responsible and cleans up after himself 9 times out of 10.
I love the thought that the mailman comes everyday and I will have that check in my possession very soon.
I love the thought that my husband wanted to come out for a walk with me and get some exercise.
I love the thought that the sun is shining and the sky is a beautiful blue. You get the picture
And before long, I had walked for 40 minutes gotten some much needed exercise but more importantly I was feeling much better. I was now able to sit at my desk get refocused and proceed with the days tasks. I felt settled, calm, and ready for a very productive day.
So next time you are feeling out of sorts during the day try pivoting your thoughts. Choose to focus on a better feeling thought and then reach for another better feeling thought. One good thought will lead to another better feeling thought. You will increase your inner power.
First thing you will know, you will be feeling fine and you will be in a position to trust the process. You will become aware that all is unfolding as it should. We know everything happens for a reason.
