Some years back I was walking in a park with my husband, when all of a sudden I started seeing plus signs all around me and over everything: the trees, the grass under my feet, the people walking their dogs, the cars in the parking lot. I realized right then that all we need to do is consciously choose to superimpose plus signs over everything we look at in order to change what we see and how we feel.
Sometimes we stand in our own way without even realizing it! It may be a doubt-based side-comment, something mumbled, or perhaps even directed at ourselves. This is the worst form of programming, because it’s an invitation to enter our psyche without a filter!
Start to segway all your thoughts, expressions, and assertions towards Positivity!
Think, Act, and then you’ll Be. The second step after seeing pluses is speaking more positively. This will energize you and give you faith when you might otherwise feel uncertain. A Japanese proverb says “One kind word can warm three winter months”. Your goal is to make all of your words kind! In this way, you are warming up every aspect of your life.
When you notice that you’ve said something that’s on the negative side of the spectrum IMMEDIATELY replace it with a positive statement! And repeat the positive one at least once more! I teach my co-creators (clients and students) to visualize a black board (similar to the ones you had in school), see the negative verbiage written on it and as you are erasing it, say to yourself “erase, erase, erase”. Then after that write a positive sentence that replaces it. If you have a hard time thinking of a replacement sentence, then at least write: “Everyday in every way I am getting better, better and better.”
With this approach, you will coax your habits into being more positive. Notice more of the pluses around you, be proactive about your statements, and follow-through on the positivity! The rewards are literally endless, and these habits can also be quite self-fulfilling.
I know what I’m saying sounds really simple, and hopefully you find it doubly so when you start putting it into action! 🙂
