Think Positively?

 

Haven’t you heard or been told that you’ve got to think positive? Well, how in h... can you do that with what’s going on in the world? Think of it (but I’d rather you didn’t) crime, war, global warming, wildfires, disappearing species, crooked politicians, child endangerment automatic weapon shootings in schools and public places, disappearing animal species...I could go on. 

 

I follow a spiritual path called The Law of Attraction. People of no religion and all religions follow it.

  

The abbreviation is LOA. It teaches that everything has a positive side and a negative one. It’s like the weather: warm, cold...sunny, rainy...humid, dry...windy, calm. Depending on your perspective you find one or the other better. 

 

What I do is not watch the news. LOA also teaches to see what we want to see. Notice the beauty of your surroundings. Where I live there are friendly and helpful people. I have great interactions with them. That’s because of my perspective, or, you could say, beliefs. Some where I live think that they have no privacy…that we put our noses where they don’t belong.

 

Belief…now that’s an important word: A belief is just a thought you continuingly think. A BELIEF CAN BE CHANGED!  Just change your thoughts!

 

It’s also necessary to realize that each person has their own beliefs. They could be the like yours or not. Just accept it. My mama used to say that I would never win an argument because the other person and me would both believe we were right.  She also said, “Everybody to their own taste said the old lady who kissed her cow.”

 

When you alter your beliefs and see the world around you as you would like it to be, your life will be happier.  

 

That’s another practice I have adopted from LOA. When I wake up in the morning, I spend some time cuddling under the covers, realizing how great it feels, what I have to look forward to that day, etc. LOA says that even 16 seconds of good thoughts when you first awaken will cause you to have a great day all day. Try it for a few days. Let me know how it works for you.

 

With practice one can learn to control their thoughts. LOA teaches us about our emotions. When we feel a negative emotion…one that makes us feel bad…that is telling us our guidance thinks differently. You say something that hurts someone without meaning to. When you discover it was hurtful, you feel guilty. That guilty feeling is terrible. Your guidance is telling you not to feel guilt. It’s negative. That is just an example. You could, of course, still apologize.

 

Here is a handout of the Law of Attraction’s Emotional Guidance System. If you are experiencing feeling on the upper half of the chart, you are doing well. If you are feeling something on the bottom half, try to think of something to move you to a better feeling emotion.

Fight or Fright?

Actually, possibly both. My mama used to say that arguing is never worth it. Both parties believe they're right. They are just trying to convince the other person, and it never works. The same goes for arguing political parties and even countries. You know by now that I follow The Law of Attraction. That teaches that 'fighting against' anything just brings more things you want to fight against.  That's just like what you focus your attention on is what you get. Mother Theresa said it best. She once was asked to join in a march against the Vietnam war. Mother Theresa responded, "I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro peace rally, I'll be there." We all have our own beliefs and perspectives. We know we are correct FOR OUTSELVES. Let other people continue according to their choices.

S'mores

If you have read any of my blogs or visited mamaswisdom on Facebook, you know I follow the wisdom of the Law of Attraction. It teaches a concepts called co-operative components. We help each other achieve our goals. It also says on of the reasons we are here is to experience JOY! I regularly receive messages, ideas and inspiration. They come from 'somewhere out there'. Our apartment manager told me Friday that she, her husband, her daughter and friend we going to the cabin. She emphasized how nice it was in the evenings sitting around the campfire making and eating s'mores. (This is the idea I was given) I said, "Before you assemble your 's'more, spread a think layer of peanut butter on each cracker." Monday she said that it was the greatest life hack ever! They all enjoyed it and would never make s'mores any other way. Later that day I was in a friend's apartment. She had someone there already. I told her about giving Sam my idea for the s'mor...

I Judge People, Do You?

Image
  I am trying not to judge...it is difficult for me. I have believed even before I studied A Course in Miracles and the Law of Attraction, that in any moment in time, people do what they feel they must do. Maybe it's because of their beliefs, their upbringing, their environment, who knows. But if we, and others, do the only thing we feel we must do, how can blame for anything be assigned? And who am I to judge other people, anyway. I know we have different beliefs, different perspectives. So if my judgement is due to their outfit, to how they destroy the English language when they speak, to the fact they don't recycle correctly, or an action they take ,it doesn't matter. They probably judge some of the same things in me. As far as that last sentence goes, I don't really care about other people's opinions of me. That's something I learned from the Law of Attraction. I hope I am making sense here. Sometimes I think I confuse myself.  I have not believed in Hell fo...
