Day 3 ~ I feel happy and balanced

Yesterday I have a good day. Being positive really does feel good. Trying to stop negative thoughts when they happen really makes a big difference too. I couldn't sleep after I was annoyed last night, so I was wide awake at 1am and started reading this book called Paving It Forward by Elisabeth Fayt. It's really quite an interesting book, and a great way to start making being positive a real habit.

So I made myself a positive pre-pave before I fell back asleep, and made one for this morning to start my day (see title).

Here's how pre-paving is defined on http://wisdom-magazine.com/Article.aspx/1373/

"Everything you think about, you attract, so your thoughts have a tremendous impact on life as you experience it. Without a proven technique for staying positive, it can be easy to slip into a negative state of mind without realizing it. Even if you are generally positive by nature, life will throw curve balls. You need to be prepared. Paving it Forward will teach you just that, how to be prepared by pre-paving your future.

Pre-paving is a method of conscious creation. It is similar to the practice of affirmation but different in that it does not require repetition. A pre-pave is a statement of action or belief that you put forward to the Universe as a command. You mold your life by telling the Universe what you want. You will learn about the energy of thought so that you understand how your thoughts create. Without this important understanding of how, there can be little motivation to change. When the understanding hits you between the eyes, you will want to begin consciously pre-paving right away."

So I started my day with a positive statement. I'm going to create a couple of habits.....things that don't take very long per day such as journalling, and a quick blog post. maybe a 15 minute walk unless it's a blizzard or raining.I hope to see some more positive changes soon!

Day 2 ~ A happy day

Another happy day. Making an effort to be happy really does work. Today i didn't really focus on anything but keeping negative thoughts out of my mind and being happy. I also made an effort to be nice to those around me and it's really nice to see that i can achieve what i want with effort. In time it will become an effortless habit and i can't wait for that day!! :-)

Day 1 ~ Today is a Gift

I have come to dislike some very bad habits I have and the negative mentality that has plagued me for years, and I have decided to finally change it all.

Negative thinking ruins my days.....and weeks....and months. It's like a big dark cloud following me around. Little does it know I actually prefer warm sunshine.

Today I spoke with a very smart colleague of mine amd she gave me wonderful advice on staying positive and becoming the person I wish to be by law of attraction. She gave me this advice from personal experience and from changing her own life so I find it quite valuable.

She reminded me that today is a gift, and so is every other day. I should be grateful to have such a good life and wonderful friends and family. By changing my outlook to that of a more positive one, i should be able to change the way I live my life and will attract more positive people and situations into my life. Some say it takes 21 days to make a new habit stick, some say it takes 66 or more. Regardless, i'm making the effort despite how long it takes because i want happiness to be my way of life every day. I love happy days. Today turned out to be a very happy today unexpectedly. My lovely colleague sent me very positive and encouraging emails, she also had two supportive phone calls with me, i got to take my dogs on a lovely walk in the warm sun after work and my boyfriend suprised me with a wonderful dinner and time to hang out. It was a beautiful day and I'm so grateful.
