Ok! So it somehow became 2018!! Time for some new thoughts and beliefs to mold our lives around.
What is a belief that you would like to let go of?
What belief is holding you back, making you feel mad, angry or frustrated, making you feel less than you know you are?
Are you ready to let it go?
2018 is a year to take your power back and feel how you want to feel.
I believe:
Our thoughts create our emotions.
We are in charge of our thoughts.
Therefore, we are in charge of our emotions.
So what thought is creating yucky feelings for you. Let’s take an example. Perhaps you believe you are unappreciated at work. What emotion does that cause in you? Sadness? Anger? Frustration? Take a moment and think the thought “I am unappreciated at work.” What sensations does that create in your body? Where are those sensations located? Don’t try and change anything, just notice it.
Now, can you say for 100% certain that you are unappreciated at work? Perhaps no one says thank you but they think it. Perhaps if we asked your co workers they would say that they really do appreciate all you do at work to make the day go smoothly.
So, can you agree that you cannot be 100% sure you are not appreciated? Even if you still believe you are unappreciated at work, are you ready to change that belief and feel better?
Let’s create an affirmation about this.
“I am appreciated at work. I am an important part of the business and I know I do my best every day.”
Let’s also think back to a time where you know you were appreciated. Maybe someone said a heartfelt thank you for something you did. Maybe someone gave you a high five or a hug for something you did. Think about that time and notice what emotion you feel. Is it happiness, worthiness, joy? Where in your body do you feel it?
Take that memory and the feeling of your body and use it when you say your affirmation. You do know what being appreciated feels like so create it in your body daily, multiple times.
We know that for any belief you can find evidence in your life to support it. So when you feel unappreciated you can find times when no one thanked you, maybe times they even gave your grief. BUT, I suggest that you can also find at least 1 time when someone said thank you. And if not, that’s OK. You have experienced appreciation at some point in your life and you can draw on that. As you go through the next few days and weeks using these tools I believe that you will find evidence that people do appreciate you at work right now, or at the very least, in other areas of your life. That’s the magic of this work.
So I want you to be conscious of what thoughts you think, what emotions they create and if those emotions are serving you or not. If not, what thought might feel better and create an affirmation, a visualization, a memory of what it felt like and use it to create a new belief that becomes part of you.
A belief is just a thought that has been thought so much that it becomes truth.
Take your power back. You are in charge of your thoughts. Your thoughts create your emotions. You are in charge of your emotions. It takes some awareness and some discipline but I know you got this!!
