Through these blog posts, we have discovered that thought is everything.
While life cannot be experienced without it, the type of thoughts we think makes a difference. We create our experience of life with every single thought we think, even though we are not always paying attention to the quality of our thinking. Therefore, life as we experience it is not accidental.
Here is an excercise that can make a profound difference in your life:
Think yourself into feeling good. Begin by closing your eyes. Take a deep breath and notice what you are thinking. Just notice whatever it is without making it right or wrong. Then begin thinking about a time when something extra-good happened to you. Think about how good you felt. Now think about something extra-good that you would like to experience. Notice how you begin to feel good right now for no particular reason other than that you are thinking about a wonderful time in your life. If and when the negative chatter starts to interfere with your good time, just shift your thoughts back to your good experience.
The negative chatter will not give up without a fight. It has been there for a long time. You will have to remain conscious of your thoughts to shift them to a happy time in your life whenever the negative chatter tries to creep in and ruin your positive thinking experience.
Each time you shift from your negative chatter to your good experience is proof that you can do this. Now you know that you can think yourself into feeling good. Now you know what a difference a thought makes.
This exercise is just one of many in my book Good With Me. Sign up below for your complimentary 1st chapter.
