We hear all about affirmations and thinking positive.

Easier said than done.

Our thoughts are important because they do go out and attract those same thoughts back to us.

So, in other words, worry attracts worry. Doubt attracts doubt. Fear attracts fear.

So why isn’t it easy just to say “I feel great!” Or “I look amazing!” and then instantly feel it.

It’s because even though you say those “positive” things, only when you make an AGREEMENT with them moment to moment can your vibration and results change.

So, how do you get yourself to agree with the Truth of you rather than the circumstances?

It’s remembering moment to moment that the circumstances you are experiencing now are not a defining of you or what is possible.

Everything in your life right now is a reflection of the thoughts, beliefs and actions you have taken. If you have self-defeating thoughts or self-sabotaging behaviors, it’s not because you are bad or wrong. It’s because they have been conditioned in you to fulfill some need or were developed without your awareness.

These self-destructive patterns have created results that are not what you want. But, it’s important to know if you created things and circumstances you don’t want, you can also, by that same power, create what you DO want. It doesn’t happen immediately, because in this cause and effect Universe, we are affected by our past choices. However, over time, results do change as we continue to think, believe and act in a way that’s in alignment with the circumstances we do want.

When you learn how to use your power as a creator, you have the wisdom to create a life you love no matter what is happening.

That’s why it’s so important to have support (mentors, teachers, healers, books, audios) during this process. Sometimes you feel like you should just “get it.” But, remember, you are overcoming years of conditioning, so be patient with yourself.

Think of your negative results as a bucket filled with muddy water. How do you get the mud out? You keep filling the bucket with fresh water. In other words, you keep filling your bucket with the Truth of who you are.  Eventually the muddy water leaves and you have a clean bucket of water.

This may take the support of another person during this process. If you are not used to receiving support, allow yourself to be guided to someone or something that will help you! When you take care of you, your whole life and everything in it changes. Giving to yourself is a practice of self-love. You can’t give to another what you don’t have within you.
