Our thoughts & emotions are like being at a banquet, which one’s will I choose?

Our thoughts and emotions are like being at a banquet: which ones will I choose?

The law of attraction, the most powerful law in the universe, is what governs the events of our lives. Our emotions, are what attracts all things to us. And so, if we are in high positive emotion, we are attracting positive things, events and people into our experience. And if we are in negative emotion, we are attracting negative things, events and people into our experience.

That friendly waitress, who served your lovely Italian meal yesterday, you attracted her.

That lettuce that was wilted in your salad today, you attracted it.

That beautiful person, who answered the phone when you needed some advice, you attracted him.

That assignment, that allowed you to do a lot of your own work,   you attracted it.

That nice man /woman you dated last weekend, you attracted him.

Everything, literally everything, that comes into your experience is something you have drawn to you through your emotions and thoughts.

That illness that showed itself yesterday, you attracted it.

Sometimes it takes a long time in negative emotion before an illness will actually manifest or come into your experience. So that cancer diagnosis, did not just come out of the blue, it has been being manifested for a long time with attention to distressing and depressing thoughts.

Now, if one can imagine each day as a smorgasbord, a buffet of foods to choose from. The foods you choose to put on your plates are the ones that you enjoy, that are delicious to you. We do not usually choose a food that we do not like.

And so why is it, that in any given day or even moment, we have a variety of thoughts attached to emotions that come through our minds…….and we often tend to focus more on the negative ones than the positive ones.

This is called “sloppy thinking”, it is as simple as that.

If we know 10 people and 9 of them love us, we will often tend to focus on that one person who does not like us.

Or if we have 10 events happen to us and 9 of them are positive, we tend to focus on the one that we were so unhappy with.

Or if we arrive safely at 10 destinations and at 1 destination we have a flat tire, we tend to focus on that one flat tire event.

I propose that we take charge of our emotions and thoughts and when a thought comes forth that has us feeling angry or frustrated or disappointed, that in that moment we decide to shift that thought to one that makes us feel a little better and then another thought that has us feeling even a little better, until we are in positive emotion again.

This process, once it is practiced can take a very short period of time, 10 min. or so and we can move from depression into joy. Once we acquire this skill and apply it day in and day out, we have mastered the key to all wellness and the key to joy and happiness………all things we are asking for, come to us, when we are in this positive place of allowing it to flow through us.
