I have lived much of my life rather compulsively—feeling that
if I just got such and such done, then I could relax and feel
good. 

How about you?  Are you waiting until your house is clean,
your taxes are done, your weight is just right, or you’ve
finally made it financially—are you waiting until then to
feel good?

Most of us tend to do this by default—it’s how we’ve been
conditioned.

But what I’ve discovered is that choosing to feel good now
not only is more enjoyable, but also opens the door for all
these other things, at least the ones that are truly important,
to get done in their own good time as well.

How can you feel good before everything’s the way you want it?
Ah…that’s an art and a discipline we all are learning. 

First of all, recognize that it’s a choice—what you choose to
say to yourself, how you choose to view a situation, what
attitude you choose to have, and what influences you surround
yourself with.  A great first step is simply choosing to be
grateful—give thanks for everything good in your life right
now, and even step out and give thanks for the good that’s
coming as if it’s already yours.

To a blessed and wonderful week!

I’ve been wanting to share with you a way of looking at things
that has powerfully impacted me (and therefore my family *smile*)
in the last 4-6 weeks, and I finally took a few moments now to
jot this down.

Ever encounter circumstances—in your money, health, or
relationships—where you suddenly feel, “Oh no…what am I
going to do?”

Well, the next time that happens, how about saying to yourself,
“I’m looking forward to seeing how this will unfold.”

What does that do for you?

Well, it immediately shifts your focus from only what you can
“see” right now—which might be a glaring lack of health, a
lack of money, or something troubling that’s just come up in
your circumstances or your relationships…

And this phrase,”Hmm…I’m looking forward to seeing how this
will unfold” immediately shifts your view to an “unseen” trust
and assumption that “all is well” even though you can’t see it
right now…and implies that things WILL unfold beyond what you
can see now…

unfold for good…

maybe even something much better than what you’ve been thinking
about so far…

and simply opening that door with the phrase, “I’m looking forward
to seeing how this will unfold” immediately shifts your emotional
energy state…

and that not only helps you feel better in the moment…

it also keeps you open to possibilities you might have missed had
you stayed in the “shut down” state of “Oh, no!”

Practice this with yourself this week, and let me know your own
experiences below!
