If you knew that every thought you had throughout the course of the day turned into reality would you change the way you think?

Most people would say yes.

Imagine your mind as a garden.  Every time you focus your energy on a certain feeling or thought you’re planting a seed in that garden.  The longer you spend with that thought the larger the plant grows.  Planting positive thoughts will sprout beautiful flowers.  Planting negative thoughts will sprout weeds- a nuisance that will not only hinder the beauty of the existing flowers but will prove to be extremely difficult to get rid of.

By paying attention to the seeds that we are planting on a daily basis we are claiming control over our own life experience.  Many times this can be achieved by recognizing outside circumstances as neutral and only our reactions to them as positively or negatively charged.  Things happen outside of our control every day- a snow storm, the loss of a job, an inconvenient traffic jam.  Instead of seeing each one of these situations as negative, start thinking of them in a different light.

Perhaps a snow storm gives you the chance to spend some much needed time with your family at home.  Losing a job could open up a door to a career field you hadn’t even thought of pursuing.  A traffic jam could give you time to decompress and listen to music before getting to work or returning home.  Each one of these situations is only a hurdle if we see it as such.

In recognizing the correlation between our thoughts and our reality we are able to do away with the mentality that we are victims to our outside circumstances.  Maybe you have experienced a drop in income or a change in health.  By adjusting your thoughts to abundance and overall vitality and well-being you are doing your part to attract those things into your life.

Where your thoughts go, energy flows and results follow.

Have you noticed that when one seemingly negative event occurs then inevitably more negative events follow?  This is because with our tendency to label the first event as “bad” we allowed our attitude and thought pattern to change with it.  So in turn we are attracting more negative events into our reality.

Instead of getting caught up in the drama of your circumstances, stop.  Breathe.  Re-center your thoughts around how you want your reality to be and you will reclaim your control over your life experience.

Begin today by recognizing the power you have over your thoughts.  Plant only the seeds that you wish to see bloom in the future and see how doing away with labels brings joy back into your life.
