Thinking Your Way To A Fabulous Day

Every morning as you lie in bed transitioning from sleep to wakefulness, you have the ability to choose your thoughts for the day.  Whatever thoughts you choose, will determine how you'll spend your day.  

Given the choice, most people would tell you they prefer to choose thoughts that will bring them feelings of gratitude, happiness, joy, creativity, wealth, mindfulness, love, fun, being healthy and a sense of belonging. 

Most people would tell you they would never consciously choose a thought that will bring them shame, excuses, anger, doubt, guilt, judgment, or fear.

If we're able to choose the thoughts we think, why are so many people unhappy when they start their day?  Why do they dread going to work?  Why do they wake up only to wish they could fall back to sleep and sleep the day away?  The answer is simple; it's about the thoughts you think as you're falling asleep!

What if you went to sleep the night before with something that was weighing you down in mind, body or spirit?  Perhaps you were listening to a newscaster spreading fear based information or reading something that was unsettling to you.  Perhaps you laid in bed doubting your gifts, talents and abilities or judging yourself based on how you perceive who you are or what you're capable of.  The subconscious mind is working 24/7, whether you're awake or asleep and has the ability to absorb unsettling information while you sleep.  

Now imagine you wake up, it's a brand new day with new opportunities but the thoughts you choose are based on the information your subconscious mind has been working on while you slept.  When you wake up, the thoughts that were running through your mind all night will determine how you feel when you wake up (you'll either feel positive and looking forward to your day or you'll wake with feelings of dread and look for reasons to avoid your day), and every single one of your thoughts is associated with a feeling; either positive or negative.

Make no mistake, your feelings are running your life.

If you're allowing negative thoughts, feelings and emotions to create your beliefs, how can you possibly believe you deserve to choose opportunities that will bring you feelings of gratitude, happiness, joy, creativity, wealth, mindfulness, love, fun, being healthy and a sense of belonging? 

How you face your day is a choice; you simply need to understand how your mind formulates the beliefs that determine what your choices will be!  What price have you been paying for your negative thoughts?  Have you found yourself locked behind thoughts of shame, excuses, anger, doubt, guilt, judgment, or fear without a clear understanding of how to get out?

Pay close attention to your self-talk (that little voice inside your head that starts talking to you during moments of doubt or uncertainty) because your self-talk can whisk you away to thoughts of negativity faster than a virus spreading through your computer!

Every person has the key to unlock the thoughts of uncertainty within their mind.  When you master your beliefs, you're discovering the beliefs behind your current mindset (perceived problem), the feelings and emotions attached to that belief(s) and how you can transmute your current belief(s) to raise your vibrational energy, giving you the power to make choices from a mindset of "what is possible" rather than a mindset based on past experiences (yours or others).

​Whatever thoughts you may be facing in your life, you alone hold the power to choose which thoughts you will feed, and which thoughts deserve to be eliminated; this gives you the power over how you'll spend your day!  The choice is yours ~ when you want to experience feelings of gratitude, happiness, joy, creativity, wealth, mindfulness, love, fun, being healthy and a sense of belonging more than you believe you deserve to experience shame, excuses, anger, doubt, guilt, judgment, or fear; I invite you to be more mindful of your self-talk and the thoughts it's planting in your mind!
