You are the Power of Your World

“You are the only person who thinks in your mind.
You are the power and authority of your world.
…You get to have whatever you choice to think.”
Louise Hay

What a powerful way of thinking. This type of thinking gives you control of your world. Thinking positive and loving thoughts creates a beautiful world for you.

Jane was living her life and feeling something was missing. She wanted to lose weight, find a loving relationship and make more money. If you asked Linda to describe her life in ten words or less she would say, “Life is hard and I never get what I want.”

How many of you have the same response? It is often suggested to focus on the good things in your life and things will change. What a great idea and hard to do. As humans we are programmed to want more instead of appreciate what we have.

Have you ever thought when I get that new job life will be great? Then when you get that new job you start thinking, “I need to lose 10 pounds?” A lot of us are action focused and feel like failures when we are not wanting something or working towards it.

There is nothing wrong with wanting more, you are making your life better. The only problem being sometimes you are never satisfied and keep thinking life will be better when reaching yet another goal. How can you achieve the feeling of satisfaction and at the same time continue working on your goals?

As Louise Hay’s says, “You are the power and authority of your world.” Below are some simple steps you can take to get started.

• Write a list of what is working in your life.
• Take one step everyday towards your goal. Example: Take a 10 minute fast pace walk before dinner.
• Look in the mirror every morning and tell yourself, “I am the best I can be right now.”

I invite you to let the Get Off the Diet Merry-Go-Round Community know what other steps we can take to create a beautiful world for ourselves.
