Shifting the Negative Mindset to the Positive

Your mind is a powerful generator, along with your heart. It is time to shift to the positive. What you focus on in your daily life is what you are creating. I understand how tough it can be to shift gears or to make change in your life. However, you are creating what you are focused on. 

How often do you focus on the negative? Do you get stuck in cycles of worry and frustration? 

What is negative thinking? 

These are pessimistic thoughts that creep into our minds during our everyday activities or the worry that can weigh heavily on our lives. These thoughts and activities can color our reality and impact our mood. It can feel like you are stuck on the hamster wheel, and you cannot seem to get off the rollercoaster.  

It is impossible to not ever have a negative thought again. This is part of the physical experience on this realm. However, we can be more in control of our thoughts and being fully present throughout the day. 

We can group negative thinking into categories: 

• Catastrophizing: These are the thoughts that come from you focusing on the worse possible outcome. EXAMPLE: What if the house never sells and we are stuck living in this neighborhood forever. 

• Overgeneralizing: This is when you base every outcome on one actual event or experience. EXAMPLE: It rains every time I go camping, so it will always be that way. I am never going camping again

• Personalization: This is when you believe that everything is based on you. EXAMPLE: My boss hates me because she is short with me every time that I come to her office. 

• All or Nothing: This perspective is about seeing everything as wonderful or terrible. There is no middle ground. EXAMPLE: I did achieve employee of the month, so I must be a terrible employee. 

Declare the Positive

As a Divine Being, you have the right to declare the positive for your life. Focus on the best outcome occurring in your life. This takes practice and work. For example, when you deposit $100 in your savings account, the amount increases by a certain percentage each month. Over time, that amount increases based on compound interest. This positive amount will increase based on the interest rate. Think about your thoughts and actions compounding over time with a positive outcome. As you experience blessings in your life, you can expect more blessings to come to you. 

No one has perfection in this experience. However, some individuals have created a blessed life based on their thoughts and actions. When you are in a place to expect miracles, you will receive miracles. 

You deserve a joyful and abundant life!
