Have you ever found yourself in a cycle of negative thoughts and it seemed as though you would never be able to get out of it? Maybe it was about something specific or about life in general. We have all been there and the truth is, to keep a positive attitude is everyday work.
Truth of the matter is, our vibration is a major determinant. I came to understand that we are energy beings first and foremost. Before incarnating in a physical body, we existed in energy form and we still do. It's just that we decided to experience a different form for a little while, because we knew we could learn and teach many things, and that this would lead to our individual soul's growth, as well as a shift in collective energy.
Here are some ways I have identified to change my mindset from negative to positive, and I hope it will help and inspire you to make positive progress as well.
Do Not Judge Yourself
It is very important to understand that we all do the best that we can, and we must learn to love ourselves unconditionally instead of judging ourselves. In my experience, judging ourselves leads to shame and guilt, which attracts more of the same lower vibrational patterns. When we take a step back and adopt a loving attitude towards ourselves, things start to change. We tune into a nurturing energy that supports us to focus on what is pure and good within us and around us.
Say Positive Affirmations
Make a list of affirmations that make you feel good and that are in alignment with how you want to be. Say them in present tense to set the energies in motion. When you start doing this, you might feel that you are ''faking it'' or that you are being inauthentic. This is all negative stuff that you seek to transcend. Stay in awareness, not in reaction, as much as possible. Use your list as often as possible, I recommend at least once in the morning and in the evening before going to bed. After a while, you will see that your vision will have changed for the better.
Channel Your Creative Energies Differently
We all have creative energies. When we are in alignment with our clarity, it becomes easy to use them for the greater good. However, when do not feel in harmony, we tend to use these energies in ways that are not optimal, such as addiction, because we seek to fill a void that can only be filled with God's Love. Find a new passion or tap into your existing passions to find a renewed sense of passion for life. It could be: music, poetry, dancing, singing, writing, volunteering, and so on. When you are focused on that which brings life in and around you, you become less distracted.
Exercise and Eat Well
I know, it can be a difficult part, but it is necessary nonetheless. Do something that makes you feel good and that you can easily do. For example, go for a walk at your favorite park and listen to music that makes you feel good, that motivates you. It's an easy way of making exercise fun. We feel so much better afterwards too. In regards to food, you could start for example by making one small change at a time, so that you don't get discouraged.
Breathe Deeply
It is something that we too often forget to do in our busy lives, but deep breathing helps us to ground and to be more at peace. Our presence sits more comfortably and we are able to navigate through life with more ease. When I take the time to do breathing exercises, I like to breathe slowly and deeply through my nose and into my belly until I reach full capacity, and then breathe out, and start again for a few times. So refreshing.
Clear Negative Attachments
Negative attachments can take place in relationships where the intents are not pure, or with material objects if we obsess over having certain things. It can also happen etherically. As I said before, we are energy beings before being humans. If we stick in a lower vibration, we are more prone to attract all kinds of negative energies, such as negative entities (yes they do exist!) These entities, when not cleared, can instill fear-based thoughts in the mind of the person affected. Fortunately, such occurrences are only temporary, but It is important that we do a ritual each day to keep our energy field light and bright. One way of doing this is calling upon Archangel Michael to do the cleansing for us. We can also use affirmations specifically designed to raise our vibration and clear negative attachments such as: ''I now elevate my vibration to the level of God's Unconditional Love and Light'' or ''I clear any fear-based attachment I might have with any lower vibrational entity or being, now''.
Gemstones and Essential Oils
Gemstones (or crystals) and essential oils are awesome to help us maintain a pure vibration. There is a ton of info on them all over the web, so you can research them and choose specific ones based on your needs. You could also go to a shop that sells them and use your intuition to find the ones that make a positive shift in your energy when you interact with them.
Gratitude
Gratitude has the power to move mountains and change things for the better. When you start looking for the things that make you happy and that are already present in your life, it is easier to become a vibrational match to the things you desire. Your mind and emotions are powerful tools, so I encourage you to use them in uplifting and positive ways.
Prayer
No matter what is going on in or around you - pray! Ask God to provide you with the faith, courage and inner power needed to move forward confidently and peacefully. He will answer your call.
