Life is happening right now. Life can sometimes be full of surprises, good and bad. The best thing about life is that every day we have a choice. My sister had a teacher that would always tell them "make it a great day or not, the choice is yours." And my sister would ALWAYS repeat it. It would drive me crazy! I would get so annoyed at this little girl quoting some whack-job teacher.
It's funny how we have so many experiences that we never even think about until another situation relates to that memory. I've read a lot of books about the power of intention and the power of our thoughts and about affirmations but they never seemed to make sense until now. I'm finally putting the information I filled my brain with a while back to use.
Earlier today I was listening to a podcast about the power of our thoughts and how we are creating the lives we have. The lady I was listening to was talking about the work of Dr. Emoto. He is a Japanese doctor who has been studying the effects of thoughts, music, feelings, etc. and the effects they have on water. Most of us know that our bodies are about 60% water. What Dr. Emoto is doing is showing proof that thoughts can either affect us positively or negatively. Another podcast I've been listening to is Dr. Kimberley Harrell, Be Happy Be healthy. She has these great 15 minute podcast called "manifestation moments". She always starts of by saying "what you think about and what you feel about, you bring about".
Today's topic is going to be about thought. If you've been reading my blog, you know that I'm losing weight with the power of my mind. And finding Dr. Emoto's work today encourages me to stay on this path of new ideas and beliefs.
We all use thoughts and feelings all the time. We respond to them in either a good or bad way. We have the power to change our beliefs and thought patterns and just like anything else, in order to be good at something, we need to practice. We need to practice good thought throughout the day.
We need new beliefs and new ideas about health and success and we need to belief that we have the power to create the lives we want. We need to get our power back.
For example, you have a difficult co-worker. She drives you crazy, she's so negative and just the thought of her coming in to the office makes you sick. You can't change her. You can either get upset every day or you can decided to go to work in a good mood and stay in a good mood. Take responsibility for your feelings. Stop giving your power away.
In massage school, we talked about energy and we were given examples of how energy or the lack of energy can effect our health. Imagine that you have 100 energy dollars. You have to survive on that 100 dollars. You have to pay for your health, your friends, your kids, your job, the neighbors dog.. everything. Let's say you spend 30 energy dollars on that witch co-worker and another 20 on the office gossip and your nagging boss. You now only have 50 energy dollars left. On your way home you get stuck in traffic and someone cuts you off and you spent 20 dollars on the way home. You don't have much energy left and you still have you make dinner and feed the dog and clean the kitchen and spend time with your spouse. And if you have kids, forget it! You're going to be grumpy and tired because you spent your money somewhere else. How are you going to do all that with only 30 energy dollars?
What happens to us when our "money" is spent is that we still have to do those tasks and we need the energy from somewhere. So we get the energy from our health, our spirits. And what happens when we continually don't have enough money is we go broke, bankrupt. Dead. Done.
We are stressed, we our spending all our money, our energy in places that are really a waste. You can't change your co-worker or your boss or your partner. Especially your partner!! Here's a little secret that will save you a lot of time. You can't change someone! If you aren't happy with them or you have problems that you think you can just change in a person, good luck. All you're going to do is waste more money. But you can change you. You are responsible for you.
Put your energy into taking care of yourself. Who else is putting that energy into taking care of you? Stop wasting energy in places that don't matter. Change the energy you're sending. Send love, hope, patience. If you don't believe the power of words and thoughts, check out this video of Dr. Emoto's work.
