Transform your Life. Step 7 of 10

Transform your life!  Step 7 of 10 effective steps on how to start creating the changes you want

I have produced this series of steps on "How to effectively create the changes you want in your life" as an outline of the work I teach with my Intuitive Life-coaching work.  
I hope you find this helpful and it encourages you to start making some changes. 
Start where you are, start one day at a time, start with one thing at a time.  Slow and steady progress is the most likely to make the longer term results.  Changes need time to integrate into your life.

Step 7

Break the habit of negative thinking.

#Don't allow yourself the luxury of a negative thought # stop complaining.

Talking about our problems is our greatest addiction.  Break the habit.  Talk about your joys.
A lot of us spend a lot of time complaining about our life - the weather, our work, our work colleagues, our partners, having to do chores around the house, not enough money, not enough time, not enough sleep etc.....
If you want to bring more good into your life, you need to start focussing on your joys. What brings you happiness, that you did get some sleep, that you do have a job, that you do have food to eat, that the rain replenishes the earth.  With the difficult things in your life, try and find a level of acceptance if you are not able to change them.  Spending energy complaining about things you cant change is futile.  Learning acceptance and patience.

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."  The Serenity Prayer

You could also look on the challenging things in your life as growth-promoting.  If you never had any problems, if your life was easy, work was easy, you got on with everyone, you had enough money, you had peace and harmony all around you, where would the growth be?  Challenges encourage us to find different ways of doing and perceiving things, they enable us to gain wisdom.  Embrace the adventure of life.

However, there may be a lot of negativity in your life, in your outlook.  It is important to release the negativity so you can allow the new in/more of what you want.  Ways to release negativity are: therapeutically talking to a supportive friend, seeing a counsellor/therapist, writing in a journal.  But see these activities as actively releasing your negativity from your energy field. Once you have spent time talking about these things, let them go.  Don't harbour anger.  Work towards forgiveness.  You need to release the past.

"Holding on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to get ill" - Buddha

"Dwell not on the past.  Use it to illustrate a point, then leave it behind.  Nothing really matters except what you do now in this instant of time.  From this moment onwards you can be an entirely different person, filled with love and understanding, ready with an outstretched hand, uplifted and positive in every thought and deed"  Eileen Caddy

Practise a 30 day diet of breaking the habit of negative thinking/complaining.  Make a conscious decision to focus on the positive for 30 days.  Focus on what you do want, give no time or attention to what you don't want.  Write in your journal, any negativity that comes up in the day, then let it go.  Don't spend the day moaning about the weather, complaining about your annoying work colleagues, your unsupportive partner.

"Since the Law of Attraction responds to the energy vibration of your thoughts and emotions, you need to focus your attention on the things that bring you into a state of positive vibration."  Jack Canfield

Carry your journal with you through the day, for 30 days, then at regular intervals throughout the day, notice where your attention is focussed.  Write it down.  If it is negatively focussed, let it go and reaffirm your intentions for the rest of the day/life/your dream.

"Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results"  Willie Nelson.

Watch your words through the day, instead of complaining about your lack of money, say I am manifesting more money each day or I am open and receptive to all channels of abundance.

Instead of complaining about your unsupportive partner, affirm, I am surrounded by love and support.

Instead of complaining about your physical ailments, focus and affirm the parts of your body that do work well - I am so grateful for my full eyesight.

"We are what we repeatedly do.  Excellence then is not an action, but a habit." Aristotle

"You must bring yourself into alignment with what you are asking for.  That's what joy is, that's what appreciation is, that's what the feeling of passion is.  But when you are feeling despair, or fear, or anger, those are strong indicators that you are not right now in alignment with what you are asking for"  Esther Hicks.
