As you have already learned, negative feelings beget more negativity in your life. If you have a mostly negative outlook on life, usually seeing the cup half empty rather than half full, find one thing about which you can feel hopeful and positive. Seek ways to release feelings of anger, guilt, resentment, hostility, jealousy, and self-pity. It may not be easy since negative emotions can get a strong hold on your thoughts. That is why some people use yoga to imagine emotionally “letting go” while others seek help from a support group to stay upbeat, optimistic, and hopeful. Talk to a clergy member. Ask for help from the angelic realm. Seek professional counseling if necessary. Surround yourself with positive people. Join your local Optimist Club.
Remember that your thoughts create your experiences and your reality. When your thoughts are positive you create happiness, joy, fulfillment, and peace. If your thoughts are focused on the negative, you see your life through that lens, and that can produce fear, sickness, and stress. This is why it’s so important to stay conscious of your thoughts. Strive to be aware of how and when a negative thought intrudes (awareness), take note of triggers in your body or environment, and calmly redirect the negative thoughts by replacing them with positive messages that are constructive and encouraging. Break out of habitual routines that keep you stuck. If you change nothing, nothing will change. So try bringing about a shift in your thoughts, words, and deeds. Send out a call to your angels, and you’ll soon see how life not only feels different, but how it is different because you are viewing it through a different lens.
