Every Positive Thought Is A Change For The Better!

Every Positive Thought Is A Change For The Better!

Have you ever had one of those deep and meaningful conversations where somebody's trying to convince you that every less than good thing that happens in your life is your fault?

Your negative attitude, your skewed perspective, your lack of emotional intelligence, you are even what you eat.

If you are big enough to take all that on the chin, imagine what training yourself to accept flipside of that coin might do you. What if every piece of good fortune that you have ever had is also completely down to you. Both concepts have been around for decades, both having occasional resurgences as one celebrity or another 'discovers' them for the first time.

"Universal Ordering", "the Secret", "You Can Heal Your Life", you can find lots of different labels for the very same jam.

Not that this matters you understand, if the jam is to your taste and it does what it says on the jar, well then of course you should use it.

The science and psychology behind it, stated not simply is; that whatever you set mind on you will notice more of, and if what you are noticing more of is something that you want, then the greater the chances are of your being able to take advantage of any opportunity that present itself.

Let's say for instance you get into your head that you want to buy a maroon coloured Lexus car, because you have only ever seen one in a magazine, but never on the road, so you feel that it would stand out. Sod's law states that whilst that idea is in your head maroon coloured Lexus cars will be coming out of the woodwork everywhere you look. 

This is not necessarily the universe agreeing with your decision but you noticing more what's on your mind. The cars were always there, you just were not noticing them.

 It's at this point that I get asked "Why doesn't it work with money?".

 When most people think about money, they are usually focusing on the absence of it from their lives. If, as a premise, you accept that you get more of what you think about or focus on. Then it stands to reason that all you will get by focusing on a lack of money is a continued if not increased lack of money in your life.

So if you're able to practice shifting your focus from what you don't have and want, to expressing gratitude for what you do have and get, you will attract more for which you can be grateful.

No one is saying it's easy, if it were I would be writing this blog for my mansion in California. Fear, doubt and failure are easier to focus on because we have had lots more practice at it.

The key from a Coaching point of view is threefold:

• Exploration; of your current thought patterns and what their positive intentions might be.
• Installation; of new and positively worded thought patterns that still fulfil the positive intentions of the previous patterns.
• Appreciation; when you do get what you want, even a little bit of what you want, be grateful. The universe appreciates your Gratitude.
