I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you!
For years, I’ve subscribed to the principle that I create my own reality with my thoughts and feelings. And for years I’ve been practicing this most basic principle of the Law of Attraction:
FOCUS ON WHAT YOU DO WANT
NOT ON WHAT YOU DON’T WANT
And yet, I still catch myself focusing on precisely what I do not want.
Recent example. My 12 year old canine companion, Mia, hurt her leg and I found myself worrying about her and focusing on the problem.
Even though I know better than to dwell on a reality I don’t like, that was exactly what I was doing. For three days!
Thinking “Oh, no!” Lamenting all the other physical issues this sweet pup has experienced. Kvetching about why this is bad and wrong and shouldn’t be happening.
I was playing what Louise Hay called Ain’t It Awful.
I do know better. I know my job is to direct the Energy that creates worlds toward what I want to experience. After three days of focusing on the contrast — in exasperation — I finally asked myself, “Okay, what the %&#* DO you want?”
With that, I remembered I get to choose! I remembered my power to choose a reality in which Mia is happy and healthy.
As a result, I’m affirming:
Mia is thriving in every way.
The contrast of Mia’s injury is a wake-up call to more consciously choose and affirm what I DO want in all areas of my life, for example:
My clients are thriving in every way.
My friends are thriving in every way.
I am thriving in every way.
My books are thriving.
Our planet is thriving.
Along with remembering I get to choose how this all plays out, I’m now joyfully affirming:
THEUNIVERSELOVESTOPLEASEME
And that I definitely DO want!
