I love this quote from Abraham-Hicks:<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever you\u2019re thinking about is literally like planning a future event. When you\u2019re worrying, you are planning. When you\u2019re appreciating you are planning\u2026What are you planning?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014Abraham<\/span><\/p>\n

Excerpted from the workshop: Silver Spring, MD on April 19, 1997

A teacher I had many years ago, Frederic Lehrman said \u201cWorry is a prayer for something you don\u2019t want.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I would go on to say that you can only be flowing energy one way or another. \u00a0You may have an event happen that will cause an emotion, but you then get to choose how far to go down that rabbit hole with it. \u00a0And it is a choice.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve made it a habit to let emotions rule, then it will take some work to start to direct them, but it is possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other side, you have gratitude. \u00a0When you are in deep appreciation and gratitude, it\u2019s a huge beacon to the universe that you love what you are appreciating and so the universe delivers more to be grateful for.<\/span><\/p>\n

The person that has taught me the most about this is a wonderful friend of mine who is The Gratitude Girl, Elizabeth Hartigan. \u00a0She offers an amazing guided gratitude journal to focus on this awesome practice. \u00a0You can find out more at \u00a0and on her Facebook fan page at\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So when you understand that your thoughts create emotions which then create manifestations or outcomes, it sure makes you want to pay attention to what you\u2019re thinking about, huh?!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And further, you can program yourself to regularly think more empowering thoughts as an ongoing process in your life. \u00a0You can do this in several ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

First<\/strong><\/span> are books. \u00a0It\u2019s amazing what can happen as you read on a regular basis. \u00a0I\u2019m talking about life enriching books, not frothy novels. \u00a0I choose to read vs. listen on tape because to fully assimilate many of these new ideas, you may need to \u201cchew\u201d on them a bit. \u00a0Meaning, you stop and think a concept over. \u00a0Maybe reread it a couple of times. \u00a0That is tough to do when you\u2019re just listening. \u00a0You are a full participant in what is being communicated if you are reading.<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly<\/strong><\/span>, where audio does have a place is personal development<\/a> audio. \u00a0I work with a company that has hundreds of hours of calls that were recorded on many subjects regarding personal development. \u00a0There are also many you can download from amazon, the library or many other outlets. \u00a0They are great to listen to when you\u2019re exercising, sitting quietly or driving so that you can focus on what is being said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Third<\/strong><\/span>, you can subscribe to newsletters that offer daily sustenance emails in the personal development or spiritual vein. \u00a0I subscribe to Abraham-Hicks, Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy, Cynthia Kersey, Daily Om and The Universe at Tut to name a few.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fourth<\/strong><\/span>, you can watch videos for free on YouTube or subscribe to any author or speaker you feel drawn to for their videos. \u00a0For instance, Abraham-Hicks has a YouTube channel where you can access many of their videos. \u00a0Just about any speaker you can think of has videos you can watch.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fifth<\/strong><\/span>, you can like or subscribe to fan pages and groups on Facebook that are dedicated to personal development and\/or spirituality. \u00a0Much like Elizabeth Hartigan\u2019s page cited above, there are many Facebook pages that post content to help uplift you and program your mind for positivity and success.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, you\u2019re going to be thinking thoughts all day anyway. \u00a0Doesn\u2019t it make sense to direct them for your utmost benefit? \u00a0I think so!!<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0All the Best my friends!<\/span><\/p>\n
