Attracting What You Want - 4 Ways to Supercharge Your Positive Thinking

Many people have come to realize that what we are focused upon often
manifests itself in our lives. Thus, if we are apprehensive about or
fearful of events in the future, we will often attract that very thing
into our lives. Fortunately, it works the other direction as well. If
we are strongly focused on what we want, and imagine it happening in
our minds, frequently we will receive it, or a form of it, into our
lives. Here are four powerful ways to optimize your ability to focus
on what you want:

1. Take care of your physical body. The mind and body are intricately
connected, and care of one will benefit the other. Make sure you are
eating healthy foods, taking appropriate multivitamins and calcium,
and exercising regularly. These measures will elevate your mood and
clear your mind, allowing you to think about the things you desire.

2. Rid your mind of negative thinking. If you are harboring anger
toward someone or something, allow yourself the full negative emotion
and note how it affects your mood and physical body. Make a conscious
decision to release this negative feeling inside yourself for your own
benefit. Remind yourself that you are here and now, exactly where you
are meant to be. Assure yourself that whatever decisions you made
regarding the situation, they were the best decisions for you at the
time.

3. Allow that the other person or event has its limitations, and if it
is a person, that this individual did what he or she could with what
they have to work with. Visualize releasing this person or event into
the universe, back to the God who had purpose for it. Begin to seek
out the benefits of the experience and look ahead toward what you may
constructively do with your experience.

4. Begin daydreaming about the things you want. Is it a material item
like a car? A romantic partner? A new job? Allow yourself to think big
and experience in your sensory capacity what it will feel like, look
like, smell like, and taste like to have that thing. Anytime a doubt
or negative thought that you "can't have that" comes into your mind,
imagine a big red "X" through the thought or image, and verbally say
"Cancel". Repeat as often as necessary to plant the positive mindset.

Neat article - I love the imagining a big, red 'X' on the negative thoughts. I usually use an image of me scrunching up the negative thing and tossing it out the window of my mind. It works perfect for me.

Thanks for dropping in on my blog, by the way. It's great to hear from you, Karen!
