Affirmations for a Positive
Attitude
|
When we think positive, we
create a better life for
ourselves. All we are doing is
replacing the negativity in the
mind with healthier thoughts
including peace, power and
love. The
positive energy allows us to
manifest what we are looking to
create. We become what we
believe!
Our
mind is a very powerful tool so
let's utilize it in a positive
way. Begin your day by
appreciating just one
thing
about yourself.
This is a positive
affirmation of a real state
of being that exists in you.
You can achieve a full list
of "I am" by taking a
personal positive inventory
of your attributes,
strengths, talents, and
competencies.
Examples include:
I am competent
I am energetic
I am strong
I am enthusiastic
I am intelligent
I am relaxed
I am beautiful
I am joyful
I am a good person
I am trusting
I am caring
I am generous
I am loving
I am courageous
I am
smart I
am forgiving
I am creative
I am open
I am
talented I
am sharing
I am healthy
I am happy
Today is the best day of
my life!
I am free to be me and
so I shall be!

Tips for Positive Thinking |
|
1. You
have the ability to shape your
own destiny with the power of
your thoughts.
2. Worry is a useless emotion.
By experiencing life in the
moment, rather than the past or
future, it can free us from
being stuck in fear,
uncertainty, worry and anxiety.
We should only be concerned with
the present where we can
actually problem-solve a
situation as it currently
exists.
3. Do not allow yourself to be
enveloped in a pessimistic or a
defeatist mentality. Focus on
positive factors that support
you rather than the negative.
Believe in your success, not
your failure. When you think
positive thoughts you find that
unexpected opportunities appear
where negative outcomes and
mistakes used to reside.
4. Your thoughts create your
reality. Negative thoughts
create negative outcomes.
Positive thoughts create
positive outcomes. When you
catch yourself thinking
negatively-stop. Turn things
around and find the good in all
your situations; you will find
positive opportunities start to
grow.. .
5. Be mindful of what distracts
you from being positive. Write
them down if necessary. When
they reappear at a later time
make a concerted effort to
ignore or block them.
6. We all experience life
differently as we grow to
adulthood. We each develop our
own belief system with core
beliefs that governs how we
operate. Commit to yourself to
find and rid the ones that cause
you distress or problems.
7. Enjoy life as it exists here
in the present. Don't drain your
energy by regretting the past,
or
worrying about the future.
Ground yourself in the here-and-
now where you can focus your
attention on solving any current
problems or situations you may
have.
8. Accept responsibility for
choices you make and the
consequences of your actions.
Stop blaming others for your
unhappiness. Recognize what is
causing it and take steps to
change it.
9. Surround yourself with
positive and supportive people.
Accept their positive opinions
of you even if you feel their
opinion doesn't fit the image
you hold of yourself. When you
allow in positive thoughts you
might actually feel more
energetic and motivated and have
more fun!

A Time of Spiritual Up Grade
By
Martine Kaplan-lewin, Psychic
Once
upon a time we lived in a world
where things seemed ok for the
majority of people. We had
descent jobs, a nice house, a
new car every couple of years,
saved and added to our 401k.
Over time our investments grew;
the stock market did well; there
was fabulous growth in the
housing market; we got our
college degrees and lived the
"American Dream." We joined
warehouse clubs, made lots of
money, shopped until we dropped,
consumed, wasted and wanted even
more. We were told subliminally
to 'upgrade' materialistically
and never let yourself be happy
or contented with what you have.
Remember, nothing is ever good
enough! For example, we needed a
coffee pot that does 101 things
and not just make a good old
fashioned cup of coffee. We
wanted everything cheap and were
not willing to pay a little more
for items. Furthermore, we
imported everything, exported
and manufactured nothing;
everything became out of
balance. How did we pay for
these materialistic upgrades?
No problem! Plastic works
wonders. It's light, easy to use
and weighs very little in your
pocket. We never worried about
the consequences. We said we
would pay for the credit card
when we got a better job or a
raise. If we didn't have a
great job, we still pretended we
did and tried to keep up with
the Jones, but they were in the
same boat as us and maybe even
worse.
Then one day our fantasy world
began to fall apart. The truth
came out and we faced reality.
We woke up and found that as Sam
Goldwyn said many times, "a
contract written on paper is
worth nothing." So, here we are
with investments that have gone
to the dogs and our homes that
are not worth the money we paid.
We have huge job losses, people
in foreclosure and an economy
that's faltering. Everyone and
everything has been shaken up
and now we are all operating in
a fear based mode. So, what do
we do now?
Now is the time for all of us to
spiritually upgrade ourselves.
We need to reclaim our power,
gain back our strength and bring
about healing, balance and
transformation. We must ground
ourselves and create a new world
with safety and security. We
have to create a new plan,
execute it and let go of old
believes and patterns that stops
us from making progress. We have
to re-examine ourselves and
change the way we think; this is
called self-realization. The
question we must ask is, "Who
are we really?" "What is our
purpose here on earth?" "What
strengths do we have to reclaim
or build a new?" "What skills we
must learn to survive and
flourish in a different way?"
I
have done psychic readings for
family, friends and clients and
found that we all have been in
situations that presented us
with great challenges that have
nothing to do with money. Our
challenges had to do with
behavioral growth. The knowledge
that we have come to learn has
made us examine each situation
at great length, looking at it
from a completely different
perspective then before.
Now we
address situations not in the
typical old school material
manner but from a spiritual
standpoint. For example, you
have a family member who is
always getting sick. Do you look
from a physical aspect only? I
start looking at the person's
energy as a possible cause.
Where did their energy come
from? Did it attach from someone
else? Was it left over from a
past situation that was never
dealt with, and is now
manifesting in the present?
Often, physical ailments
manifest in people with energy
blockages or imbalances that
arise from current issues or
past situations that were never
resolved. How can I help this
family member look at it from a
spiritual point of view and not
just as a medical condition?
I also have to refrain from
taking on my family member's
issues in the course of helping
them. I have to use energy
protection techniques in order
to keep their energy from
halting my spiritual growth and
stopping me from seeking out
greater knowledge and truth.
I
personally love movies and
believe that a lot of incredible
films have messages behind them.
A great film to watch about
surviving against the greatest
odds is called "Defiance," an
Edward Zwick film. It's a story
of 3 brothers who lose everybody
and everything during the time
of the holocaust, and how they
rebuild a Jewish community in a
forest and save thousands of
people. The 3 brothers teach
survival skills to the people
and show them how to have hope
and believe in themselves. This
movie means so much to me on a
personal level. My dear late
father lived as a partisan and
showed my sister and me skills
for living and surviving in this
world. I truly thank him from
the bottom of my heart.
Today, most of us have to be
very conservative with our money
and learn to do a better job
budgeting. In addition, there
are other things we can do to
help ourselves and others. Go to
seminars or even buy books on
the subject. Go to your local
library and look for the section
on 'Spiritual Growth' and start
to read its books, books on
tape, DVDs. There are so many
ways we can learn to help each
other. Also, on the internet you
will find many support groups
that are forming.
Now is
a great time to begin healing
ourselves and connect to our
higher power. Times may be hard
now, but we must all believe
that they will get better.
Learning to live in the moment
is one of the hardest things a
human being has to do, but to
face our challenges and overcome
adversity is a great reward. We
can create community groups for
support; create a book club in
our area, share a meal, open our
hearts and rent a spare room if
we have one available and
exchange services with each
other. We are all here to learn
and grow spiritually. If I
decide to incarnate again into a
body, I do not want to keep
reliving the same story. I want
to upgrade myself and the world
around me and be a good example
to others.
Wishing you much prosperity,
faith and strength,
Martine Kaplan-lewin.
