How amazing life is!
Are you the kind of person who looks at your life and says….WOW, I am living a fabulous life and so very grateful for everyone and everything in it? I truely hope so.
I used to be a person who was very critical and easily found the negative in a situation. This obviously lead to me not feeling terribly fabulous about myself as I perceived my world as less than perfect. Drama in my relationships, health issues and the feeling of the weight of the world on my shoulders was the day to day norm.
Feeling I needed assistance with my health, I sort advice from a well regarded practitioner. He blatantly asked me “do you realise you have the power to control how you feel?” . Well, I was a bit thrown. I always considered myself to be open minded, but this question made me stop and reconsider my whole world. If this was true, and of course it was, then I am the only one responible for how I feel. Sounds so simple, but what were the implications? I could no longer blame someone else and their actions for the way I felt, personally and globally….Wow!
Deciding to explore this idea further, I then discovered that at any moment, no matter what was happening around me, I could CHOOSE to feel great! Yes, it does take practice and is not always easy, but the more you make that conscious decison, the easier it becomes and the better you feel. And if that’s not enough to ring your bell….wait til you see the response you get from others and the way your life begins to shift for the better. Lets be clear though, I don’t choose to be positive to please others. I do it because I want to feel fabulous and I deserve happiness!
Take a little time to explore this idea if it is foreign to you. Let it sink in and then find how empowering it is to take complete responsibily for the way you feel. Life is a journey, so ignore the drama going on around you, focus on yourself and start finding ways to improve the way you feel. You are the only one who can make that choice….isn’t that exciting!
