In other words, what you think about something is what it will be for you.
Nothing has a meaning until YOU give it one!!!
I bet you can relate to some of these examples:
Someone needs to write a blog post and they stress about it for days and then when someone else comes to help them, it is done is less than 30 minutes.
It could've always been done in less than 30 minutes!!!
It was their mind-set and thinking that caused it to take days and cause so much stress!
There are a million examples of this.
Someone could do the dishes and clean up right after dinner and it would take 5 to 20 minutes and the kitchen would be all clean.
They don't.....keep thinking about it and then get stressed out about it and then the next morning, they start their day with the mess from last night and get mad at themselves and then start their day on a bad note.
When it could've just been done and over. Go to sleep with a clean kitchen, sleep well and wake up to a new day.
The good news is that you can change this pattern as it is just a habit.
A new habit can be developed in as little as 21 days.
First, decide to do it different. Write it down.
Then, every day, do it. Give yourself little rewards for doing it. Good job notes to yourself. Your favorite hot beverage. Little things you like that are free to reward yourself.
As you keep doing it, it will become a habit and once a habit, it will get easier until you can't even remember ever having been the other way.
And as you do all this, The Law of Attraction will align with your new behavior and make it easier for you, too.

Kathy,
ReplyDeleteSo much of what you said can help a person live a happier life. Do what you are doing mindfully, focused - that also is stress relieving.
One of my favorite quotes (I think I'm going to have to blog about my favorite quotes!) is this: It's harder getting back into something, that out of it in the first place.
Think about it: harder to get back into shape, clean up a huge mess in your kitchen, finish your degree.....
Thanks for your provocative post!
Thanks Lianda.
DeleteYou are so correct. It is a LOT easier to keep something the way you want it than to get it that way when you've let it go. The good thing is you can shift a habit in about 21 days and it is SO worth it.

Very true! Thinking is the first pillar to wellness and everything begins with how we think about anything and everything. I can totally relate to your example of doing the dishes. LOL! In my younger days I was that person that left the dishes and had a mess to wake up to. I changed that many years ago and today each morning I wake up to a kitchen that is spotless. For sure this way is better. Taking action is a good way to create a positive mindset. Thanks for reminder. Best Regards, Wendy UBC
ReplyDeleteThank you Wendy!
DeleteLOL Hey, I can totally relate, too.
The reason I KNOW all this works and is easier than you think is because I've "been there, done that", too!!!
Thank GOD I got some help WAY BACK WHEN to get me shifted out of those old habits into new ones....
and it is so very simple, easy and wonderful being in the NEW wanted habits! (Well, not too new to me anymore since it has been many years now.)
But for those who will step up and start to change this for themselves now.
:-)
