Power Thoughts: Input To Change Your Life

Thoughts are the foundations of our entire lives. How do you make that foundation strong so you can build the life you want?

Thoughts are our inputs. We think over 60,000 thoughts per day, all the while creating our lives, whether consciously or unconsciously. The choice of what we think is ours, even if we don’t realize it. When we decide we want more harmony, more joy, more happiness, more love, and more abundance in our lives, we have taken the first step in taking back our power and control. Our bodies and life experiences are reflections of what we are thinking. Every moment, we infuse our lives with thoughts. Those thoughts are feeding our body, our emotions, our experiences. Like building a muscle in our body, becoming aware of the inputs and thoughts we are cultivating takes awareness and time. Awareness can begin by just reading an article (like this one!) and becoming knowledgeable about the power you possess within. Over time, staying aware and recognizing the type of thoughts you are thinking will help the mind to weed out the thoughts that are not of the highest vibrations.

Positive thoughts, such as healing, kindness, love, joy, happiness, cooperation, peace, and high self-esteem, will improve your entire life. Negative thoughts, such as anger, control, low self-esteem, revenge, hatred, prejudice, and fighting, produce stress and make the body and our experiences feel sluggish, slow, and uninspired.

Ready to try out this knowledge and change your life?

Let us take our body image as an example:

1st Statement: I am fat.

This is a very mean statement. You are attacking yourself and your image. By adjusting it, like unscrewing a screw, one turn at a time, we release the meanness of the statement and the power it possesses.

2nd Statement: I am a bit heavier than I want to be right now.

Feel the change? You are now making a statement relative to a goal you have for your body image. The thoughts are getting better and the power will increase.

3rd Statement: I am doing the best I can in this very moment and my body is reflecting all the inputs I have been giving it. These inputs include what I am thinking about it, all I feed it, and how much I move it.

Fantastic. You are shifting the very inputs that determine how you feel about your body. This moves the thoughts up on the vibrational scale. The attacking has ended and self awareness of where you are at right now versus where you want to be is occurring. This is how all change begins.

4th Statement: I am ready to make improvements in my body because I want to feel stronger, healthier, and love my body again.

Bravo! You now recognize your body is yours and you do control all inputs: the thoughts you think, the food you eat, the movement you create. By changing just a few of our thoughts, we have moved from a place of self-attack to self-empowerment — yes, it is that simple!

These concepts are being proven again and again by science. The thoughts we think are even able to influence our DNA.

“HeartMath deems integral elements of the model for who we are and what we can be are the thoughts, feelings and intentions we have every day. After two decades of studies, HeartMath researchers say other factors such as the appreciation and love we have for someone or the anger and anxiety we feel also influence and can alter the outcomes of each individual’s DNA blueprint.” —Heartmath.org: “You Can Change Your DNA”

The inputs you create all day become part of your body and trigger emotions. The emotions trigger chemical reactions in the body and influence how you feel, look, and act. The inputs we give ourselves determine what our minds communicate to our bodies and, in turn, how our lives unfold.

Becoming aware of our inputs and weeding out what does not help us allows the creation of a barrier which prevents additional negative thoughts from creating an endless loop within the mind. Remaining aware of what you are thinking provides the tools to be able to change your thoughts.

Louise Hay, the Queen of Positivity, has helped to build an empire of self-help gurus. Through her own journey of healing, her experience with cancer, and other challenging circumstances, she has produced many self-help books. In addition, Hay House, her publishing house, shares the power of thoughts with the world.

“Through Louise’s healing techniques and positive philosophy, millions have learned how to create more of what they want in their lives, including more wellness in their bodies, minds, and spirits. Her own personal philosophy was forged from her tormented upbringing. Her childhood was unstable and impoverished, and her teen years were marked by abuse. Louise ran away from home and ended up in New York City, where she became a model and married a prosperous businessman. Although it appeared that her life had turned around, it was not until the marriage ended 14 years later that her healing really began.

Louise started what would become her life’s work in New York City in 1970. She attended meetings at the Church of Religious Science and began training in the ministerial program. She became a popular speaker at the church, and soon found herself counseling clients. This work quickly blossomed into a full-time career. After several years, Louise compiled a reference guide detailing the mental causes of physical ailments, and developed positive thought patterns for reversing illness and creating health. This compilation was the basis for Heal Your Body, also known affectionately as “the little blue book.” She began traveling throughout the United States, lecturing and facilitating workshops on loving ourselves and healing our lives. ” — Louisehay.com
