The Magical Way Out Of Negativity
Day 7: The Magical Way Out Of Negativity
Do you struggle and feel overwhelmed with your life challenges? Does your relationships, money, health and even your day to day stresses weigh you down? Being ungrateful brings more negativity into your life. When you have negative thoughts and feelings you feel angry, stressed out and take things for granted more. As The Law Of Attraction states "thoughts become things" and "like attracts like". Your negative thoughts, feelings and actions are only attracting more negative thoughts, feelings and actions for your future. When you are more grateful your thoughts, feelings and actions are focused on finding more things to be grateful and happy for. You don't have time to be negative. In fact, did you know it is impossible to be negative when you are feeling truly grateful? You can't have anger, stress, sadness or any negative feeling when you are in the feeling of gratitude. And anything you are dealing with now will soon diminish when you change your thoughts, feelings and actions to more positive ones.
So many things in my life have transformed virtually overnight with the practice of gratitude! My closest relationships are healthier, happier and less stressful. My finances have improved dramatically. My health has improved and I feel more alive and well. And my day to day stresses are minimal. When I do have something stressful or disappointing happen to me I get over it a lot quicker. I am constantly looking for what I am grateful for, and thinking, feeling and acting on all the dreams I want to come true. I don't have time for negativity! And I feel so much better without all the negative feelings they bring! When anyone who is negative comes into my personal space, I don't give my energy (thoughts and feelings) to them. I don't even get irritated or upset by their actions (remember like attracts like and feeling irritated and being upset will only attract more of that). I just silently wish them peace and happiness. If I can walk away, I do. If not, I put up an invisible wall and will not interact with them negatively. I try and guide the conversation toward more positive things if I can. When you have negative things happen in your life, the best way to handle them is through gratitude. You have to be able to find the good in every situation. By doing that you are attracting more good things into your life.
Day 7 Challenge:
Today you will take something you are struggling with and find 10 good things to be grateful for in that situation. It is hard to do, I know. But it will make you feel better about the situation. And it will uplift you to where you need to be to attract the things you want to attract. The author, Rhonda Byrne has two great examples in the book. Below I listed a few examples from the book to give you an idea of how to do the challenge. Example #1 is about someone who is out of work and example #2 is about a son's troubled relationship with his father.
Out of work examples:
1.) I am grateful to have had more time for my family during this time.
2.) I'm grateful that my life is in a lot better order because of the spare time I have had.
3.) I'm grateful that there are jobs out there and more new jobs appearing each day.
4.) I'm grateful for my family's encouragement and support.
5.) I am grateful for my health and that I am able to work.
Son's troubled relationship examples:
1.) I am grateful that most of my relationships in my life are good.
2.) I am grateful for my father for supporting our family through my childhood, because I didn't have a clue then how much hard work and money it took to keep our family going.
3.) I am grateful that through my relationship with my father I have learned to have compassion and a greater understanding with my children.
4.) I am grateful when I get to laugh with my father. Some people never got to do that because they didn't have a father. And for others, who have lost their father, they will never have the chance to laugh with their father again.
5.) I am truly grateful to have my father. because amid the tough times, there have been good times, and will be more good times ahead with my father.
After you are done listing 10 things you are grateful for about a negative situation. You will write this sentence below the list- "Thank you, thank you, thank you for the perfect resolution!"
Today you will play a game where you will try not to say anything negative. You may be shocked to realize how negative you are. Once you realize all of the negative things you say and think. You will then be able to stop and change those words and thoughts in action. And decide if it is worth risking your future happiness. I have a feeling you will think twice like I do! If you do catch yourself speaking and/or thinking negatively, the author, Rhonda Bryne, suggests that you immediately stop yourself and say..."But I have to say that I am really grateful for ____________!" It can be anything that your grateful for. When you start using gratitude on negative situations. You will learn to get over things more quickly and bring more peace into your life. You can tell if gratitude is working for you by the way you feel after you practice it. When you concentrate your thoughts, feelings and action on gratitude you are helping to attract better situations into your life.
