(A simple exercise in self-relfection)
I NEED to get out of the habit of negative thoughts. Every morning, upon waking, I start my day by proclaiming things like,"I'm tired". I was recently given a book about wholeness, and faith and how positive thinking can vastly improve how we feel about ourselves. and how people around us will feel about us. According to the author, positive affirmations will guide positive energies to us; those who believe they have a good life will have good things. They look happier, feel happier and generally seem to have good luck and fortune everywhere they go.
I am not really sold yet either -- but then I have been reading it for a month and I'm on -- Chapter 2.
Some of the things discussed so far reminded me of my estranged online friend, K, who used to have a blog. (She has moved on to other things.) A few years ago, she and I were discussing the philosophies of Reiki, which is, from what I can tell, what this author is trying to convey.
While I have yet to make it a habit to state (upon waking) that I am glad that I am awake, I slept wonderfully and feel very rested and fantastic... and I am looking forward to the drive in traffic to work so that I can have some personal reflection time and listen to all of the music that I am blessed enough to have good hearing to enjoy .(despite the fact that for the most part, I would be lying to myself)... I do at least THINK about what I have read when I catch myself thinking, "Damn, this sucks. I don't even want to be here today!"
I am really working on it. and I'm having a blast trying.
