You The Powerful Chooser

You - The Powerful Chooser

Tonight I tucked my little one into bed, and she said to me, "Mommy... I just can't get last nights bad dream out of my head!" She tossed and turned and whined a bit, seeking a bit of empathy from me. "Hmmm...you just need to start thinking about something else that makes you feel happy... like butterflies, or kittens, or playing with your brother." I said. "I just can't do it, I don't know how! She whines again. The bad dream is in my head and it won't go away!"

The two of us went back and forth about it a bit more...I of course telling her she can think about what ever she chooses to, and she of course fighting for that last ounce of attention, holding onto that bad dream for all it's worth.

I am wondering if this scenario sounds familiar...I am wondering if you can see yourself - yes your adult self - in this little scene? Here is what I mean. Life, has dished you up a heaping serving of something not so pleasant. Something that you would rather have done without. Perhaps your relationship is on the rocks, your car broke down, or you have new bill to pay. Your jobs sucks, you have a cold, and you are probably never getting married. Perhaps it was just a bad dream and you just can't get back to sleep. Whatever the situation - we all have them.

How are you choosing to view these situations? What is your dominant thought? Your dominant feeling? How are you holding onto them, with your pattern of negative thought?

People often deal with negativity in life with just more negative thought. You may observe something that you don't like in your life, feel bad about it, mill it around for awhile, and then you mill it around some more. You tell your friends how bad it is...you lose sleep over "why" this is happening to you in your life...and you are certain that no one has ever had it this bad. You focus on all the negativity about a situation, you get swept up in your negative feelings - and you feel trapped. Rationally, you know that you are responsible for the way that you feel in your life...but "this one" is a doozy, and therefore changing your thoughts or feelings about it is certainly out of your control, and out of the question. There are things in life that are not in your control right? Remember that you are in control of your experience - always, and your life is a perfect reflection of what you have been attracting up to this point. With all of this negative focus, you attract even more of what you don't want into your life.

The Law of Attraction, as you know says, like attracts like. It says, what you focus on grows. It says you are a powerful magnet, and you pull into your experience that which you vibrate on an energetic level. So it would make sense that if you are choosing to hold onto negative feelings in your life, you are choosing to create even more negative experience. It would make sense that if you think life controls you, it will, you will get more things in your experience that are "out of your control." Life then just happens to you.

I can hear you saying - "But, I don't know HOW to have it be different. I want to create my life the way I desire, but I just can't. I have tried and nothing works. I have to accept that things are out of my control, and just deal with things as they come up."

Back to my little story for a moment. So...I tell my little one that I am going to install a little switch on her arm, right about at her shoulder, and all she needs to do to help her get thinking about something that makes her feel good is "flip the switch". She found a bit of joy in our game, and she chose to flip the switch to "kittens"...and went to sleep. Simple as that. And it is as simple as that for you too. You can choose to flip the switch, and basically create a new reality - a new dream. We create (what we want - even if it's a million dollars) based on how we are feeling... So, if you want something, and you do not have it, then you are not in vibrational alignment with it. If you were, it would be yours.

We have a tendency to walk around feeling like we are not at choice - we "know" we are at choice, but what we "feel" is like victim of circumstance, history, and yes even karma. Negativity can be a little addictive. It can get our needs for attention met. It can give us excuses and reasons, outside of ourselves, for not living and creating the life that we want. It helps us to understand "why" things turn out the way they do...but the Law of Attraction abounds, and the negativity perpetuates a vicious cycle that ensures that you will NOT create the life that you want, if the balance of your thought is focused upon what you in fact don't want. Put out negativity, get back the same.

Imagine trying to get thin by focusing on how fat your are. Imagine trying to make more money when you are focused on how poor you are or hate your bills. Imagine trying to create health in your life by talking about how sick you feel. It doesn't work... it's contradictory. What you want and what you are "vibrating" (feeling) MUST be in alignment. Here is where choice comes in....

Understand this: YOU are the only creator of your life. If you choose a thought that makes you feel good, you are then choosing to attract goodness into your life. You are choosing to vibrate in alignment with what you want, vs what you think you can't have. You are choosing to attract well being and abundance. When you are in a space of pure, positive energy, this is your point of attraction, and your are literally a magnet for all good things and desires in your life.

It is very important to fully acknowledge the powerful, powerful, choice you have in your life. If you are buying into the belief that you are not at total choice in your life, then you are buying to the social consciousness of scarcity and lack -- and this quickly becomes your point of attraction! What then do you create in your life? Scarcity, lack, and loss of personal power.

Today, is a new day. Remember that your point of attraction is how you are feeling at any moment, its how you are feeling right now. Choose to operate in the now, and pay attention to how you are feeling. Choose to acknowledge yourself as the empowered creator that you are. Choose to be grateful, and appreciate all the goodness around you. Choose to "reach for a better thought" as Abraham-Hicks would say, and vibrate in alignment with what you want to attract in your life. Choose to flip that switch!

The challenge: Beginning today - start to pay attention to how you are feeling. If you are feeling bad, or negative, or resistance to something, stop, check in, and reach for a better thought. A happier thought, even a neutral thought, or a different topic all together if you have to. Do something that will make you feel better...appreciate something, take nap, listen to music, meditate, read a book, read the comics. Anything to help you shift from negativity to a better feeling place. Remember your point of attraction is where you are at right now...want to attract the good stuff? Then feel good. Nothing is more important than feeling good. This is most important to manifesting abundance in your life.
