Why do I need positive thinking?
\u201cIsn\u2019t that a bit unrealistic?\u201d \u2013 people sometimes say.

But positive thinking isn\u2019t about pretending everything is fine.\u00a0
It\u2019s about shifting our habits\u00a0
from judging and complaining\u00a0
to noticing and focusing our attention
on what actually serves us.
When we look at life
from the perspective of
our own Life Energy,..\u00a0\u00a0
We\u2019re creating that energy anew, every single day.

Our words only hold power\u00a0
through the meaning and emotion we attach to them.\u00a0
When they carry frustration
\u201cI don\u2019t like this\u201d
or \u201cThis annoys me\u201d,
then that\u2019s the energy we\u2019re building for tomorrow.
But if we start to stop\u00a0
and turn our attention from what bothers us\u00a0
to what brings us joy,\u00a0
to what we love,
to what inspires us,\u00a0
we begin to change the habit of creating low energy.\u00a0
And not for anyone else
– but for ourselves.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice – Stop – Change<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

How much good did I create today,
through my own thoughts,
words and emotions,
for the good of my tomorrow?
It\u2019s the accumulation that creates our tomorrow. <\/strong>
Because when we change the rules inside,
change on the outside follows.
If I stay mindful and keep raising my emotional average,
the change will start to show.
In a month, I\u2019ll feel it.
In a year, I\u2019ll be somewhere softer,
brighter, freer version of my life.
It\u2019s the work we do inside
that makes the difference on the outside.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

! And no, it\u2019s not about faking smiles.\u00a0<\/strong>
It\u2019s about finally asking myself the questions\u00a0
that help me move through the emotion.
If I\u2019m angry because something happened:
Why am I angry?\u00a0
What did that moment trigger in me?\u00a0
What\u2019s the deeper story behind this irritation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. I always follow my emotion. <\/strong>
    It’s my Signpost.
    My inner compass.
    It tells me my truth – about me.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. I gather all information about my emotion.<\/strong>
    (not about Johny or Mary)
    I give myself space and time to feel it now.
    After all, I was the one who buried it,
    so I honor it, too.\u00a0
    Back then, I simply didn\u2019t know any other way.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. I return to myself – the Center – I choose my new reaction<\/strong>.
    I choose my new response.
    If I know how.\u00a0
    And if I don\u2019t yet,
    at least I try to stop the old projection.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    I work with my fired up Emotion.<\/strong>
    I learn as much as I can about myself.
    I don’t silence the emotion.
    I sit with it in me – five minutes if that’s all I can
    – what are you telling me?<\/strong>
    About me – not about anyone else .<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    I come back to myself.
    To my center.
    I stop, if I’m able.
    And I choose my reaction anew.
    Not the reactive version.
    Not the explosive one. : )

    I choose the one that serves me.
    The one that brings my day back into balance.

    Not for someone else.
    For me.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
