Practice…
I have come to view this life as practice…practice for what you may ask…
Practice in coming from that pure, positive state of energy (aka. source energy, love, appreciation) that we are all born with, but many of us have deviated from over years of social conditioning and learning from others who are not in that place of alignment themselves. Practice in being able to hold myself in that place of love and appreciation for longer and longer spurts. Practice in replacing my fearful and limited thinking, with loving and appreciative thoughts. Practice in focusing my thoughts, words and actions on the things in life that I do want, instead of the current reality of “what is”.
For instance, my current reality tells me that I don’t have as much money as I would like. So I can focus on the “fact” that I don’t have enough money and continue to tell the story of not having enough money, which in turn will keep me in the exact place that I already am OR I can tell a different story. Not face my current reality and instead focus on the excitement and hopeful anticipation of making money and the expansion and growth process of the person that I will become on that journey. A great first step in getting to that feeling place of excitement and hopeful anticipation, is to feel appreciation. For what? For anything. For all that life has caused me to become, for the current blessings in my life, for my health, for my relationships…literally for anything. When I appreciate, I feel open and loving, which opens me up to receive good things in life. Art of allowing baby! Another effective method in helping me get to that place of hopeful anticipation is by focusing my thoughts on life as being fun, and not just something I am just supposed to get done. We never get it done. It’s a process. And being able to truly enjoy all these growing experiences is what life is all about.
And can I just say that after writing this I am feeling so much more on center. On my game. Just by writing these couple of paragraphs and refocusing my unfocused thoughts on the things that truly matter, I have created a completely different emotional state within myself. The power of our thoughts. Geeeeeezzzzzz!!!
