Taking Your Thoughts and Making a Difference

 

“We always attract into our lives whatever we think about most, believe in most strongly, expect on the deepest level, and imagine most vividly.” –Shakti Gawain

You will have more control of your life once you have control over your mind. Your mind is the strongest asset you have. Your success and failures and your happiness or unhappiness is all bought on by the thoughts you have and the actions you choose to take. Your thoughts have the power to create opportunities from obstacles instead of defeat. The choice is yours. Your thoughts are the only thing stopping you from making a difference in your life.

“Every thought is a cause and every condition is an effect. Change your thoughts and you change your destiny.”–Joseph Murphy

Changing your thoughts is easier said than done though, right?

The secret is to find your most positive and motivating thoughts and making them dominant over any other thought, feeling or insecurity you have. Regularly remind yourself of these positive thoughts. Be enthusiastic about them- it will make them more powerful and prominent. Positivity will begin to influence your behaviour and attitude which will begin to make a difference to your reality.

Think of your dream or life ambition in detail. Not as a daydream of where you will be ‘one day’, think about it as if it is your reality. Regularly remind yourself of this dream and how achievable it is with the right plan of action. This will influence your mind, your decisions, actions, and habits to begin to align and work towards this dream.

Visually represent your dream either physically through a vision board or scrap book or digitally through an application such as Pinterest. Represent your dream in a way that best resonates with you, just ensure it is something you can see often.

Create a positive space. Think about everything that motivates you, inspires you or makes you feel good about yourself. Whether it is photos of loved ones, motivational quotes, a particular colour, or something else. Make these things visual to keep your mind positive throughout the challenges of each day.

If any negative thoughts consistently enter your mind, write them down. It might seem counterproductive but it an important strategy to help let go. Don’t reread these notes, purely use them as a source of therapy to overcome them.

Fill a separate journal with positivity, express gratitude daily, make plans to achieve your dreams, and anything else your find inspirational and motivational. Revisit this journal regularly and use it as fuel for your success.

I mention this constantly in my blogs but here I go again because it is so important… Surround yourself with supportive people. Never let someone else’s negativity or insecurity get into your mind- their thoughts have nothing to do with your capabilities. You want your peers to listen to you, build you up and be genuinely happy for you.

Recognise that change is possible, and you deserve it. Never doubt yourself, always move forward.

Pay attention to your thoughts. Filter out the negative ones and keep the positive ones in the forefront of your mind. Regularly remind yourself of your life desires. Your dominant thoughts will become your reality.

“Imagining what you want as if it already exists opens the door to letting it happen.” –Shakti Gawain
