The power of anything only works when you exercise it and apply it. You have to believe it for yourself, and just know whatever the thought is to be true is true.

We’ve turned into a society that moves quickly, and like our actions, our thoughts are always shifting and moving quicker. It’s like we can’t keep up with ourselves sometimes, everything is moving at its own pace, and sometimes in different directions.

We’re re-learning about energy, the law of attraction, positivity and affirmations. We’re going back to our old ways because we’re realizing how much it worked for our ancestors. I’m learning through Ayurveda and affirmations and how tradition can be effective when we apply ourselves correctly. And like anything traditional, you can modernize it to your liking. Everything is new all over again, because things work for us differently.

I’ve always appreciated affirmations, and find myself practicing them more often these days. With so much going on, sometimes its best to go back to our ways, back to what works for us, and brings us peace. I remember being a kid looking at the ceiling and visualizing things before I fell asleep, or after waking up. I didn’t realize what I was setting myself up for, but it was very peaceful for me.

I always felt out of place, but then again I moved around a lot as a kid. Finding solitude was always a thing for me. I felt weird at first, because I focused on how others viewed my “loneliness, but you begin to not care so much. You realize the less you care, the less they care. I began thinking how my thoughts brought attention to me, but it was how I thought of myself that bothered me.

I learned that these were NOT my thoughts. These were a collection of other people’s expressed thoughts or opinions that became a collection of mine overtime. Why was I holding onto these? And why for so long? How did their thoughts become my go to thoughts. I had to do some deep soul searching.

Healing my innerchild gave me the chance to correct these thoughts and revisit my visualization exercises. I began monitoring my thoughts more, paying attention to see if these thoughts were negative or positive. This practice is becoming more important like my other exercises, and already I feel a shift. If a negative thought pops up, I practice correcting it by coming up with an affirmation, or reciting one that resonates at the time.

This practice is allowing me to notice how often these thoughts come up vs how often the positive thoughts.

I’m sure we’d rather have more positive thoughts than the negative so lets practice, and remember to do them daily.

AFFIRMATION of the day:

In order for me to help heal others, I must heal myself.

It’s time to put negative thoughts to rest, and exercise our positivity.
