From Gloom To Laughter...Then Ice Cream!!

As I sit here today looking outside of my window, I am tempted to feel the gloom that often tries to creep inside my head. Looking outside at the messy, rainy day does nothing for my mood. However, I am reminded that my day is not dictated by what happens outside of me, it should be a direct reflection of what is happening inside of me instead.

As these depressing thoughts try to knock at my door, I will resist! Why? Because I have come to realize that if I allow negative thoughts to come in, sit down and visit for a moment, their friend called “feelings” will soon follow. Accompanying every thought is a feeling that compliments and intensifies the thought…once that happens, my day will change. We can live our lives by design because God has given us an amazing power to change our thoughts. When we change our thoughts we can change our lives.

Thoughts create feelings and feelings create vibrations that go out to the universe seeking things, people, actions and situations that supports them. So if I have a thought that is negative, gloomy or even depressive, then those negative, gloomy, depressive, feelings will begin to invade my body. Once this invasion happens, I will begin to vibrate or give off energy that is negative, gloomy, and depressive to the universe and in return my day will create NOT what I want or desire. Wow!!

How refreshing it is to know that I can decide what kind of day I will have today. In spite of the rain, in spite of the gloomy looking day, in spite of the fact that CNN is reporting so much negative news from this past week, and in spite of the fact that my life is not perfect, I will not allow those thoughts to enter my space.

Instead, I will shift my thoughts to the fact that life is wonderful, I am safe, I am healthy, my family is safe, they are healthy, the economy will get better, my life always gets better, and people will grow and be nicer and kinder. Love will rise and be Supreme in the world. These are the thoughts that I will focus on today and now I am beginning to feel pretty good. Infact, I will move away from the window, I will turn off CNN, I will turn on some music, and I will dance with my husband. I feel good! I feel lighter, I feel happier and my energy and vibration has shifted. Now, I will wait on the good to follow and I know it will because I have chosen this day to be a great day! We can change our thoughts in any moment and when we do so, we can change our lives forever. So for now, I am gonna laugh and celebrate with a big bowl of ice cream!!
