The Power of Positive Feelings

You feel powerful and strong. You feel an energy inside you that says "I am here to do something great!" You feel yourself walk into any situation, confident and at peace. You feel successful.

Ah, how good it feels!

Have you ever noticed that we ask each other, "How are you feeling today?" I have never met anyone who asked me, "How are you thinking today John?"

Why is this?

Perhaps it is because how we feel is how we live. If I feel miserable, my life reflects that misery. If I feel confident, then I act confident and I attract into my life that which I desire because I feel I deserve it.

In every moment, you and I feel something. And these feelings we have shape our destiny. Notice I write "these feelings we have". Feelings do not have us; we have feelings.

Most personal development focuses on thinking. Change your thinking and your life. I agree, but thinking arises from feeling. If I am holding tension in my body, if I feel tense, then my thinking is shaped by tension. And I eact accordingly.

That tension is the result of accumulated thoughts and feelings. And the more that accumulate, the greater the tension (also known as stress) until I make myself ill; both physically and mentally.

Positive thinking is a great idea, but it has limitations, does it not? Can tell me what your next thought will be? Not without thinking about it! And the time you have come up with an answer your mind has already moved on to else.

Plus all thoughts are found in the past. One cannot think in this moment. One can only experience this moment and it is this moment and the succession of this moment that make your life. Right now, plus right now, plus right now, equal your life and the results you create.

To make a change in how you experience and what you do with "right now" you must act on the feeling level to make true changes. And by changing how you feel right now, you change your destiny.

We all know of this power. It is a power we are born with that becomes discarded when we are told to stop feeling and start thinking. All limitations exist only in our thinking, yet that is exactly what everyone is telling us to do! Get an education and learn your limits!

If you have ever watched a young child develop, you will notice how they do not accept "no" for an answer. Failure does not stop us until we learn that failure means something bad. We then spend the rest of our life trying to reprogram our mind with clichés about how failure is the foundation of success, but do we really believe it? As children we fall, we hurt, we let the feeling go and we take off running again. As adults we fall, we hurt, and we tell stories about it for the rest of our life to anyone who will listen!

If you want to achieve a breakthrough in any area of your life, stop trying to reprogram your mind and notice how you feel. When you set a goal, notice the feelings that arise for you. Fear? Anxiety? Doubt? They are nothing more than feelings; electro-chemical impulses.

The good news? You can learn to let these feelings go and when you do, your potential has new life and it expands beyond the limits of thought. You feel a new energy when you realize all that prevents you from having all that you desire are these feelings which you have chosen to hold on to because you think, yes you think, they serve you in some way.

No analyzing is necessary, nor programming or re-programming, nor words; just feelings. Powerful feelings.

Meditate like a Zen Monk.

Meditate like a Zen Monk.

Now that was a headline I just had to checkout. During the summer break I wanted to reduce stress. My current employment was changing and I needed a way to reduce my stress levels. I had come across this product called Holosync, which I later learned was featured on the movie "The Secret". Now, I have tried several mediation products and techniques in the past with some or little success.

I had been under a lot of stress, due to changes with my work. After checking out the Holoysync website, I was sceptical about their claims of meditate deeper than a zen monk and increased brain power, including increased memory and concentration etc...

There were some questions I wanted to ask about Holoysync, like - how soon will I see results, etc ... . The support from Bill Harris and his team is just amazing. They answered all my long questions even before I placed my order.

I decided to place my order for Holosync (it has a 12 month money back guarantee). The order arrived in just over a week, due to being in the South Pacific. Upon arrival I wasted no time in trying out the first audio cd. Now this takes an hour to listen to. After reading the manual and finding some stereo headphones I then started to play the cd. I was greeted by the southing sounds tropical sounds of water and musical notes.

The results were quite astounding. I was relaxed after the first few minutes and then went in to a deep meditation.

Just after 3 days I noticed that my stress levels were reduced. Most of the problems I had been facing at work just seemed not matter anymore.

Tips on creating a gratitude journal

Creating a gratitude journal

A gratitude journal is simply a diary except you record what you are grateful for that day. You could use a diary or similar book for writing your gratitude journal. Just make sure you have enough pages to cover a years worth of gratitude.

Start your journal with the following line - Today I am grateful for....

Everyday write down 5 things you are grateful for. Now, these things that you have been grateful for during the day, could be as simple as being able to eat your breakfast in the morning, being able to read the newspaper. You can also be grateful for the house you live in, having a supportive partner and family that are always there for you.

Even when you are not having a good day, things are not going smoothly, you must still write down your 5 things you have been grateful for during the day. This is where gratitude is most important. Doing this will help you to look for things to be grateful for and appreciate. This will help you create an attitude of gratitude. Write only the positive things that have happened to you during the day in your gratitude journal.

In every situation, look for the good things. They are there; you just have to see them. Look for the positive things even when they don't seem to be there. You just have too look for them. Stop complaining and start to think positive.

When you are having a really good day, everything just seems to be helping you create an attitude of gratitude, you will have more than 5 things to write in your journal. Yes, you can write down more than 5 things.

Every day you can be grateful for something. When you tell someone in your life you are grateful for them is a powerful way to express gratitude. Expressing gratitude towards someone who has provided a cheerful smile, gave good service or maybe provided you with directions.

Ways we can express gratitude could be as simple as sending a card or letter thanking someone. Include what it was that made you grateful, how you felt when they made you grateful.

Here is a sample from my own gratitude journal -

Today I am grateful for wakeing up in the morning and able to open my eyes, seeing the sun shine through the window. I am grateful for being able to have breakfast with my family. I am grateful for the car not breaking down when I had an appointment in town. I am also grateful for finding a park

This is just a sample of my many daily gratitude entries I have in my journal. It is also important to read through your previous entries and reflect on why you have been grateful.

Just remember to write in your journal 5 things that you are grateful for everyday, even when you don't fell like writing.
