Change Your Focus in 6 Steps

In Thursday’s blog I spoke about how our thoughts create reality.

It is challenging to change our mindset when we are conditioned to think in a certain way. It’s the glass half empty-half full scenario, and much of what our mind focuses stems from habit. 

It does not take long to create a new habit, but you must have the desire to change.

Try this:

1. Notice your thoughts and if they are negative take a slow inhale and easy exhale
2. If this has not stopped the thought, focus on your breath until your mind quiets down.
3. Remember some event that was pleasant for you and experience the feelings that went along with it.
4. Stay with those feelings as your breathe in and out.
5. Now, notice your state.
6. If you begin to revert back to negativity, ask yourself:  Which feeling do I want to perpetuate?

Give this a try and let me know in the comments below if this helped.  If it did not, what do you think got in your way?
