Positive Thinking vs STINKIN' THINKIN'

We got back home last night from our November stay on the beach.  I have to say that it was really difficult leaving this year.  After working out this morning, I went to the Post Office to get our mail for the past 30 days.  As I got in my car, STINKIN’ THINKIN’ started.  It sounded something like this: “Boy, I forgot that it is December.  The Post Office is going to be packed!  You probably don’t want to go at this time.  I bet it takes 30 minutes to get the mail.”

If you have read any of my other post office posts, you would immediately recognize what I was doing.  I was setting myself up for a very unpleasant visit to my local post office.  The cool thing about becoming aware of STINKIN’ THINKIN’ is that you can change it.  So, immediately I started doing affirmations such as, “It is going to be a quick in and out.  I bet there is hardly anyone in line.  I am so happy and grateful that I now have picked up my mail in less than 5 minutes.”

Well, as I drove up, the parking lot was packed!  STINKIN’ THINKIN’ returned and in return, I changed it to positive affirmations.  As I opened the door, I was pleasantly surprised that there was not a single person in line even though they had only clerk behind the counter.  I walked up, gave my ID and had my mail in about 2 minutes.  Now how SA-Weet is that?  As I was leaving (and exactly as my other posts stated) the line was starting to form.

One thing is for certain.  Positive Thinking is always better than STINKIN’ THINKIN’.  Remember that the next time you catch yourself in a STINK Mode and you might be pleasantly surprised.

With peace and gratitude,

Fill In The Blank

Life is ___________________________________.  I was listening to Tony Robbins today in my car and he said a few things that really got me thinking.  In his particular audio Tony was talking about metaphors.  Specifically how we use them in either empowering or destructive ways.  Take a few minutes to fill in the blank.  I suggest to write down 10 things that you believe life is.  Try to do this without thinking too much.  Just put down what you normally say or hear others saying.  Then look for anything that has a negative connotation to you and cross them out.  It is time for a new metaphor.  For example if you wrote, “Life is a struggle,” mark a line through it.  Then change it to something softer.  Maybe something like this, “Life is like the spring.  Sometimes it storms but other times it springs beautiful sunny days.”  You see, that just feels better, doesn’t it?

Life is ____________________________________.  Fill in the blank now, mark off the negative ones, and watch your life “Spring” into a brilliance.

Peace, gratitude, and sunny days!

February's Picture Frame

The 8x10 Picture Frame Hanging On My Wall

In keeping with my fearless focus challenge in last month’s newsletter, I created a new mini vision board picture frame.  One thing that i noticed right away was that my emotional state was positively influenced as I was creating it.  For this one, I wanted incantations that I typically do (THANK YOU Tony Robbins!) plus some other text on this frame.  I really could feel my spirit lift and when it put me in a new state, man, my days have been FILLED with focus, creativity, and gratitude.  Those just happen to be the themes of the 3 8×10 picture frames hanging in my house that I see at least 20 times a day.

If you haven’t created your own picture frames to put on your desk, I strongly encourage you to do so NOW!  It will raise your spirits and make you feel good.

The Fog of the Day

This morning I was driving to the health club and watched as freezing fog invaded my town.  As I thought about the fog, I knew there was clear sky above it and it got me thinking.  Many of us get smothered in negativity and negative thinking.  Sometimes it is so persistent we can’t see the good in anything.  It is kind of like that fog I saw this morning.img_0822

One thing about positive thinking is that sometimes you have to trust that there is something good going to happen to you.  When I get into any kind of negative state, I see it as a signal that I need to change my thinking because if I don’t, I am destined to have a miserable day.  img_0819Sure, some days are more difficult than others but when that happens to you, think about this fog example.  Realize that there are blue skies awaiting you if you can change your thoughts.  Before you know it, things will clear up and you will discover that you had nothing to worry about at all.

Peace, love, and positive thoughts,

WOW! Now That Worked!

If you read my post from yesterday, you would understand the title of this one.  All I can say is WOW!  I recall laying in bed yesterday having slept less than 4 hours and thinking that I was going be tired all day.  I then made a conscious effort to create my own day.  If you haven’t ever tried this before, I urge you to try it once and decide for yourself if it works.

I’m not going to give you all the details of how my day went but I can tell you that by the time I got ready for bed, I was so excited I couldn’t even begin to try to go to sleep.  During the day, an idea come to me that hit me like a lightning bolt.  I believe it occured because I consciously chose to create a beautiful day filled with love, peace, and service for others.  And boy did it work!

Seriously, even if you have already started your day, take a moment to create something different.  Try it once and feel free to send me your comments.

Peace, love, excitement, and gratitude,

Bill

A Beautiful Day!

Life is in full bloom!

Life is in full bloom!

I am choosing to make today a beautiful day.  It really starts with your mental frame of mind when you wake up in the morning.  Last night I woke up at 3:30 AM and really couldn’t go back to sleep.  I decided to write for a while before returning back to bed.  When I got up this morning, I could have chosen to be tired and have no energy.  However, today I am choosing an awesome day filled with love, abundance, and peace.  And guess what?  That is exactly what I will have. 

I took the picture above about a week or two ago when this plant was in full bloom.  It was beautiful, kind of like the day I am going to experience today.

Peace, love, and gratitude,

Bill
