The Power of the Mind And Your Thoughts

Many times we get stuck in the day to day struggle of going to work, taking care of a family, meeting financial obligations that seem to be mounting, or not getting along with a loved one.

Setting an intention can be very helpful in eliminating the struggle and pain of everyday life.

For example…our words are powerful indicators of how we are feeling about something. 

If you use the words struggle, hard, scary, not enough, and “it never works for me”…those words have created a picture in your mind and you have set an intention.

How do we change that?

We start being aware of our words.  It’s that easy.  Words even spoken in our mind are  very powerful.

Try this as an experiment for yourself.

What are your first thoughts when you wake up in the morning…especially on Monday or whatever day you go to work? 

1. The traffic is going to be bad today

2. I have to get the kids up and that’s always a hassle

3. Oh today is that meeting I’ve been dreading

4. I have to pay the bills…and I never have enough money

5. My back hurts and my feet hurt, I’m just getting old.

And the list goes on…and all these thoughts conjure up feelings of struggle, and are energy drains.

Try these thoughts instead:

1. Even though the traffic might be bad today, it’s  going to be easy for me to get to work, I can see it being easy getting to the freeway, and the on-ramp will be clear for me, and I will find a great station to listen to on the way to work. And if there is a snag, I can keep a positive image of getting to work on time and enjoying the music.

[See how the energy shifted? It Feels lighter thinking about driving to work. You have prepaved the way to work by using your thoughts and intentions that even though it might be busy, you can see and feel yourself already making it easier.]

2. Even though the kids hate getting up, maybe I can surprise them with a tickle game or give them a favorite snack in their lunch today.  That will start your day out with a smile.

3. Even though I’ve been dreading that meeting, I will see myself saying the right thing at the appropriate time, and  feel secure and confident in myself.

4. Even though I have the bills to pay, I can pay the ones that are due.  I ask and will allow thoughts of prosperity and abundance to be with me when I pay the bills and will have the knowing that the money will be there.

[Open you mind to other possibilities of obtaining money, maybe a job that you would love to have that pays more. Or visualize yourself asking for a raise, or getting a promotion.  See it and use your thoughts to create the feeling of it being real.]

5. Even though my back hurts and age is getting to me, I know that all my cells within my body are functioning at their perfect frequency for perfect health, balance and harmony within my body. Every breath of air, every drink of water is a cellular match to what my body needs to be in perfect health. I allow health, joy and freedom into my life.

Do yourself a favor, try watching fun programs, and listening to soothing music. And think fun thoughts. 

I hope these tips serve you well, and I am sending you blessings for all that you desire in perfect health, happiness and harmony in life.
