Changing your experience by changing your thinking

New Thinking for a New Year

This article is to acknowledge the challenging times that many people are having all over the world. Challenges with world events, economic conditions and the other personal challenges of every day life. My goal is to give you a little inspiration to lift your head up high, and keep the faith that the future is indeed bright, if you allow yourself to have it.

Well, I’d like to be able to say that we live in a perfect world. But it’s not the case. We do have the ability to allow as much of our creator’s perfection to flow through us, as we are perfect in our creation, but we are not always perfect in what we’ve allowed ourselves to believe, create, and act out in our lives. And yes, there are exte
al conditions that people are “born into” and are seemingly out of their control.

However, regardless of all of these things, we do have the power at any moment of any day to stop, become aware of our current conditions, the state of mind that we’re entertaining, and realize that we do have the power to change our thinking, and our actions….which will change our future.

It is my firm belief that our thoughts are one of the most powerful things that create our experience. There are numerous teachers and movements in the self-help arena to make people aware of the “Law of Attraction”. If this concept is new to you, ponder upon this concept for a moment. You do have the power to change your thoughts and state of mind, if you are not too happy with what you are currently entertaining. There’s a lot more that I can mention about this, and what causes unfulfilling thoughts, such as energy taken on from other people, past experiences, etc. At core reality, you are not the thoughts you think, nor the body you are in. You are a Spirit directly connected to your creator, inhabiting a body while on planet earth; a body that has thoughts, feelings and emotions. The main point of this article is to remind you that you have the power to change your experience on earth for the better, starting with a decision to think differently. When it comes down to it, a brand new life is simply a thought away.

How do you change a “funky” state of mind into a positive one, you might be asking? Well it’s just as simple as using your imagination. As my teacher said, “your imagination is your creator”. Imagine what would it be like if you were feeling or thinking the positive feeling or state of mind? If you’re unhappy with your current conditions, you can also imagine what it would be like if you were already living the life that you want to experience. This practice does take devoting a few minutes of quiet time for yourself to be in a relaxed state and focus your imagination on your desired experience.

You may just surprise yourself with what taking a few minutes of time to regain the power of your imagination will do for you.
