Fear Thinking

Some important insights came together for me last week.
Firstly a close friend mentioned being in a constant state of "fear thinking" which thus attracts even more fear. I recognise this in myself, as I am often focused on what has gone wrong and what might happen rather than anything positive.

Secondly, I decided to return to Louise Hay's books "You Can Heal Your Life", and whilst dipping into various pages, I read how she uses daily affirmations. These affirm how wonderful her life is each and every day, and in the evening she gives thanks for her day. I felt an immediate resonance with this, and realised the power that having an affirmation can be. It had felt wonderfully anchoring and stabilising when I was focusing on the abundance affirmation earlier this year, but I hadn't quite been able to find any affirmations to hang onto after that one that had the same power.

So I sat and wrote a list of about 7 wonderful affirmations for a good life:-

My life is balanced and I feel centred and grounded at all times

I am grateful for the ability to choose the most loving way to use my time and energy

I trust that everything is lovingly as it needs to be for my highest good

At the end, I sat back and realised that I do already have all these things - I just hadn't been 'tuned in' to seeing them, let alone appreciating them. Well, almost all. And what I haven't got yet won't be long in coming. These affirmations have helped me to come through an exhausting week, able to feel the exhaustion, yet also be aware that everything is really fundamentally absolutely wonderful.

It is as though, for the first time in my life, I have changed "I can't" into "I can" as a daily way of being.

So what are you not appreciating that is wonderful in your life every single day?
