We can choose to think as positively as we can. Yes, the process will involve noticing some upsets, negative thinking and all that. Best way to proceed is to notice ( it can feel overwhelming) and to keep going anyway.
Oh my we come to notice we have been focusing on what we do NOT want and we can shift that pattern.
Jenny and Self Talk
Jenny received some money from her sister, invested it and lost a chunk of it. J blamed herself thinking, “I could have bought a lot with those funds that slipped away! I feel awful!”
This dear woman’s fear about money got stimulated and hurt came up about past financial projects that did not go well. J felt loaded with fear most mornings.
Our heroine sought help to renew her belief in abundance and to recall how to make this shift.
Enter the Mentor
The Mentor responded,
- “It’s such good news that you want to clean up the thought pattern that calls you names, makes you wrong and creates more of what you do not want. How wonderful that you notice! So constructive that you want to turn to more positive thinking.
- You can make it ok, however you feel at this moment.
You are now cultivating compassion for yourself.
- Practicing new thought patterns is such a worthwhile undertaking!
- How about appreciating whatever you can. How about taking time each day to purposefully notice what is going well?
- You can practice flowing with what is easiest and in allowing plenty of rest in your day.
- Remind yourself that what you are doing is enough!”
Jenny felt better as she breathed in the Mentor’s positive statements.
Updating some recurrent thoughts
Number #1 “It is taking me so long!”
This is not taking too long! It is what growth looks like for everyone!
Our heroine realized she was on a journey of changing deeply held habits of thought and that shifting these will take some focusing over time.
Number #2 “I should be giving more service to the world”
Jenny told herself this self blaming thought. When she thought it she felt awful.
Instead, Jenny can know that she is one with humanity and when we thrive we contribute mightily. She was embarked on the human journey to thrive!
When we are feeling frisky, full of life, feeling good, flowing and creating—tuned in, tapped in, turned on—we are giving abundantly to this dear planet.
Feeling Success
Notably this protagonist felt great relief as she shifted her thinking. J tasted the ease that is possible. For additional help she received some Jin Shin Jyutsu and knew profound release in her body as well. And she supports herself with the directive; “Keep Going!”
Please share your stories of lifting your own self talk. Do you have a question? Please ask it! Together we are creating a more satisfying journey!
