BLEAK FRIDAY? ============= Yesterday was a great lesson in contrast. Heres why. One of the greatest success secrets Ive learned is to pay attention TO attention... What is going into my mind? What am I seeing? What am I watching? What am I listening to? WHO am I listening to. What am I FOCUSED on in each moment? When I began this practice years ago of paying attention TO attention, I was SHOCKED at how much airtime I was giving to stuff that either didnt really matter, or was even somewhat negative. I tried to change my focus, and escape the negativity... but it seemed that the more I tried to ignore the negative stuff... The MORE of it THERE WAS. This concerned me. I didnt see myself as a negative person. And yet there I was, filling my head with all sorts of nonsense, news, pop culture factoids and stuff that really had NOTHING to do with the things I wanted in my life . So I got serious. I went on a mission to eliminate every negative force in my life. Every habit, every activity, every influence that wasnt a HECK YES... Automatically became a HECK NO. I learned to opt out of anything that wasnt energizing, or uplifting, or growth producing. I got really good at saying No, thank you. Both to myself and others. Within days, I could feel the difference. It felt like years of mental sludge had been removed. I could FEEL my thoughts, and I liked them. I began to feel a sense of ease... of flow. I became more positive, and peaceful... less of a problem solver and more of an opportunity seeker (theres a HUGE difference!). Things really turned around for me then. I can say with conviction that I am who I am today largely because of that one decision. Negative forces are a virus. They affect our thinking and pretty soon, your emotions. Its pretty hard to be filled with Oh Yes! when youre surrounding yourself with Oh No!!! If watching the news about Black Friday yesterday made you feel good, keep up that strategy. If not, and you still did it, then see if you notice a connection between your Mind Diet and any dullness, low energy, confusion, lack of motivation or even downright fear. Garbage in, garbage out. Your future is filled with the echoes of the present... choose wisely ;) ========================================== Want A LOT More Mind Power?
