Present moment focus

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Loretta LaRoche is one of my favorite people and one of her quotes inspired me today:
If you think the worst and get the worst, you suffer twice. If you think the best and get the worst, you only suffer once.

I needed to be reminded of this as I have 3 people very close to my heart that are finishing their journey here in this world and it has been difficult to keep my focus on the present moment and stay positive when I am not with them. After reading this quote this morning, I realize that the most powerful gift I am giving to them when I am with them is the gift of my love and my presence -simply sitting with them letting them know they are loved and cared about. And I realize that I can continue to hold them for now in the same loving space and keep my thoughts and focus on all the blessings, joy and love that I feel for them and let go of all the fear, worry, and sorrow. What wonderful loving energy that would be to send out to them in thoughts and prayer in this present moment until it is time to say goodbye and grieve for them when that time becomes the present moment.

Affirm:
In this present moment I will keep those I love in a sacred space of positive love and light.

Have a focus on Loving thoughts Friday!

Practice makes Habit

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Today is about the Law of Repetition
Whatever you practice thinking about becomes a habit and routine that your life simply repeats, over and over.
If you are unhappy about any area of your life just examine how you have been thinking about it. Then ask yourself if you keep practicing the same thinking, same attitude, the same routine will you really have a chance of feeling better, having a happier life experience?

Today affirm:
     My Life will change when my Thinking practice changes

Notice that the more you practice better thinking the better your life becomes.
Have a Thoughtful Wednesday
