			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>&#8220;How do I stop my negative thoughts?&#8221;</em> is a question that I have been asked many times and that I had asked myself many, many times over the years. The answer is really quite simple. You stop negative thoughts by planting positive <em> </em>thoughts!</p>
<p>We all have unsolved issues in our lives we need to take care of. When we think about them negative, disempowering thoughts, worry, and frustration enters our head. We are focusing on what we don&#8217;t want &#8211; negative thoughts &#8211; and therefore will attract more of them. The problem is that they cannot disappear if you focus on them.</p>
<p>You see you cannot &#8221;stop&#8221; the negative thought consciously because if you try to do that you would still focus on the negative thought, wouldn&#8217;t you? Even when you try to control them or to push them away, the result is the same. Your focus is on the problem, on the negative thoughts, and by the law of attraction you are inviting more negativity to you.</p>
<p>The truth is always simple and it is always easy. To stop negative thoughts, just plant good, positive thoughts!</p>
<p>You deliberately <em> </em>plant good thoughts by making it a <strong>daily practice to appreciate all the things in your day</strong>. Appreciate your health, your family, your friends, your home, your work, your food, your pets, the sunshine or the rain, the beauty around you, and the wonder of life iself. Compliment, praise, and give thanks to all things and beings. Every time you say &#8220;Thank you&#8221; it is a good thought! As you plant more and more <em>good</em> thoughts, the negative thoughts will go away because your focus is now on the good and what you focus on is what you will get.</p>
<p>In the first few weeks of coaching my clients are asked to email me at least 5 things they are grateful for each day and they do it last thing in the evening because I want them to go to sleep with these positive thoughts on their mind. Every single one of us that reads this has plenty to be grateful for so if you want to stop negative thoughts think positive ones and say thanks for all the good in you and around you. Do not give your attention to negative thoughts. Don&#8217;t worry about them. If any come shrug them off, and let them be your reminder to deliberately think more positive thoughts<em>.</em></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">ACTION: Start the day by saying Thanks and end the day by saying Thanks.</span> Thanks for your home, the bed you sleep in, for the water you use to drink, to shower and to make tee or coffee with, for your food, your clothes, for the sunshine or the rain outside, for your car, your job, your health, your family and friends&#8230; I think you get the trend. We all have plenty to be grateful for. If you start doing this on a continuous basis you will automatically push those negative thoughts away and dwell on the positive; on what you appreciate in life and as you do that, more and more of what you appreciate will appear.</p>
<p>The more positive<em> </em>thoughts you can plant in a day, the faster your life will be utterly transformed into all good, into abundant and happy. If you spend only one day speaking of good things and saying &#8220;Thank you&#8221; at every single opportunity, you will not believe your tomorrow. Deliberately thinking good thoughts is exactly like planting seeds. As you think good thoughts you are planting good seeds inside you, and the Universe will transform those seeds into your personal paradise; into your &#8216;perfect&#8217; life!</p>
<p>Live happy!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">Last week at one of my workshops I asked who had a perfect life. Nobody raised their hand. I then asked the participants to describe their &#8216;perfect&#8217; life. What came out were some vague ideas like:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I would have a perfect life if I had more money than I needed.</p>
<p>“How much do you need and will that need stay the same as you earn more?</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230;if I live with my family in our dream home.&#8221; What does it look like and where will it be?</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230;if I have lost all that weight and am more attractive to my partner again.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230;if I had a job I loved&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal">You have probably heard about the movie &#8216;The Secret&#8217;. They say for the Law of Attraction to work <span style="font-weight: bold;">you need to ask then believe and you will receive</span>. But how can the Universe give you what you ask if you are so vague, if you do not give clear instructions in what it is you want? In most cases it is already in this first part where we lose out. We do not ask clearly enough.</p>
<p>But that has another consequence. If we cannot ask clearly enough we also cannot believe 100 % in it becoming our reality because we cannot SEE it happening. It is nothing but a vague idea. And if the first 2 steps are not done properly we cannot go to the third, to the receive either, can we?</p>
<p>I know it is a very simplistic view of the Law of Attraction but it is what stops most of us getting what we want. We are not crystal clear about what it is. We cannot see our changed life in our mind&#8217;s eye.</p>
<p>In order for it to work in our favor we have to visualize what our ideal life looks like in crisp, precise detail and watch our self in that movie. If we do that often enough, we can skip the willpower or positive thinking stuff, and get to our goals…without having to overcome enormous obstacles and struggles!</p>
<p>But, in all probability you only hope, wish, desire for a better life; for things to “get better”, or for you to “become rich”, &#8220;happier&#8221;, or some other vague and non-specific goal. You have no specific, clear and unshakable vision of what “better”, “rich”, or &#8220;happier&#8221; means, and therefore cannot turn it into a mental movie you watch in your mind’s theatre over and over and over again.</p>
<p>One of the main principles we talked of in earlier posts is that <span style="font-weight: bold;">your mind cannot distinguish an actual experience from a fantasy experience</span>. And if you live the vision with great clarity and specificity in<br />
your mind often enough, your mind becomes fooled into thinking you’ve already been there, done that and allows you to skip the struggle and get straight to the thing you dream about!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, what can you do to start working towards the life you might describe as ideal?<br />
&lt;!&#8211;[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]&#8211;&gt;<br />
&lt;!&#8211;[endif]&#8211;&gt;First of all, you have to <span style="font-weight: bold;">write down everything that a perfect life, as you define it, would</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">contain. </span>Then, use this list to start day-dreaming a movie with you as the star, and the story board<br />
containing all the things on your wish list. This is what I call your Vivid Vision.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Watch this movie of your ideal life over and over</span>, every chance you get but especially before you get up and just before going to sleep. <span> </span>Watch it when you feel good and when you feel bad.<span> </span>No matter what goes on now, watch your vivid vision, your internal movie as often as possible because this is where the second step – the believe sets in. Do not be impatient. It will happen, it will manifest but not necessarily in the time frame you had in mind or in exactly the same way you wished for but happen it will.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can build your life the way YOU want it if you take action!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Build your dream story board and play your internal movie because if you procrastinate and leave it until you have time or whatever other excuse you come up with now, your dream life can never happen. So, no more reading about it; you know more than enough. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Get yourself a pen and paper and start writing your story board, start seeing your life movie and DO IT NOW!!!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You are the Star!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Happy Manifesting</p>
