I Ams

In the same theme of the Breaking Thought Patterns post.  Via Wayne Dyer, we can go to bed thinking of the negatives from the day or just crashing.  Or we can do a grateful check but then add I AMs to let the universe work while we sleep.  Wayne speaks about I AMs. Make a list, written or mentally, of the good things you are or want to be.

I am loved

I am a great___________(fill in your profession)

I am a a part of the this wonderful universe

I am alive on this beautiful earth

I am living in a healthy body with an abundance of energy.

I am so lucky to be married to a wonderful spouse- (say this one especially if you've had an argument and maybe don't mean it at the time. HA)

You can also project your dreams. What are your goals- make your I AMs from them. If you hope to be a performer then go to bed saying I am a recognized and popular singer/songwriter. Put it out there in the universe while you sleep. I am living in the house of my dreams. Whatever it is. It should relax the mind and sooth the soul.

Then sweet dreams.

Luv ya,

Breaking the thought pattern.

I know most of us have times where we just can't fall asleep or we get awakened in the night and can't go back to sleep.  I've had several of those nights lately.  I lay there and allowed my mind to go places it shouldn't go.  Humm wonder what she meant when she said that?  Humm that job's never gonna come through, humm I can't believe I saw another wrinkle............ and on and on. Negative chatter.  In a huff this last night I jumped up, something I hate to do once I'm in the bed, but I wasn't sleeping anyway  and I realized I had to break that pattern of thought. I started practicing what I preach.  I went to one of my CDs, one with a soothing voice telling me what wonderful creations we all are and that we all deserve the best from the universe. But also suggesting action steps to get what we want from the universe. Better to go to bed feeling empowered than at the mercy, right!? I was nodding off before I even got to the end of the CD.  I went to bed and snoozed joyously.  I could also have picked up a book that contains positive messages. And at the very least I've picked up the Sunday crossword puzzle.  Not being able to answer any of the clues is a real snoozer, but really not as spiritually helpful is it. ha ha

The idea is to break the thought pattern. And this negative thinking doesn't just happen when we are trying to sleep. I've spoken to others who say they have arguments with themselves and others in their minds while driving, getting ready in the morning, etc.  I know you know what I mean.  Also just being in a really bad mood- angry or blue.  These friends say they play music, sing, quote bible verses, speak positive affirmations, anything to break the negative chatter or negative feelings. Negative thought creates negative vibrations which creates negative in our lives.

But back to the sleeping problem- isn't it better to go to sleep with a positive message swirling around in your brain.

Luv ya.

You Are What You ....Read?

GROW YOUR BRAIN WITH THE GOOD

Guys!  If as the saying goes "We are what we eat"  then it just stands to reason, that "we are what we read". Our brain after all is one big muscle. As I've mentioned before it has been proven that our minds are affected by gratitude, meditation, prayer. As Zig Ziggler likes to say "Garbage in Garbage out". 

So it is no wonder that people are killing in the workplace, bullying at schools, having road rage, or in general are just angry, sullen and oppositional.  You've heard some of the AM morning radio shows?  Or the rap/hip hop stations.  Spewing hatred, and falsehoods. If someone is listening to that- by the time they get to work or school they are ready, if not to kill, then to be angry, sullen and oppositional.

I know in my experience in the morning, if I watch the news or read the paper before I do my meditation/inspirational work I'm antsy and sometimes ready to bite someone's head off.  Don't even talk to me about this election cycle - GEEZ

Pick up the Bible and read a few verses, find a daily devotional- doesn't necessarily have to be religious. Keep index cards with your favorite quotes, your visions and dreams by your bed or where you have coffee so you can easily pick them up to read.

Grow your brain with the good!
Luv Ya

Power of the Mind & the Universe

 “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge

is limited to all we now know and understand, while
imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever
will be to know and understand.

— Albert Einstein

If you can dream it, you can be it!          

 I believe I can fly!  

         When you wish upon a star!            

If you build it they will come!

Don't worry about the buts or the hows. Build the dream, think and work on it everyday.

 Build the dream, believe, and it will come. Avenues will open that will surprise you.

Luv ya,
