Here and Now

Do you live in the past? Always worried about what happened, or what was? Do you constantly worry over things that are in the future, things that might happen, things that may or may not ever be? Then you are surely wasting a lot of energy because with the exception of hypnotherapy and shamanic journey work, we only have this time, this moment in the here and now within which we can live and change.

This moment is the only moment that you can change. At this present time you can change how you think, how you feel, how you react or don’t act. Right now you have the power to envision your life any way you choose. You can change your present position to a positive thought and a positive reality. It does not matter what your thoughts were just a moment ago, that moment is past and done. It is important that you know that you have the power to choose what you will do, think, feel and be, right now. People often wake up and start having a bad day or something happens during that day that makes them think that the rest of their day is ruined. That is a conscious choice. You also have a conscious choice to choose to turn your energy around at any moment. Just because you had a bad spot doesn’t mean that you have to continue to dwell in that hell. You can choose to take any moment and turn that around. You can choose to laugh at yourself. You can choose to learn from that rough time and you can choose to make it better. I was given an exercise about what to do when you find yourself having bad thoughts. When you catch yourself having negative thoughts, simply stop. Think, zero, go back tothe beginning. Erase what you were thinking and start all over with a new positive thought. If another negative thought comes in, stop again, start all over again, and again and again until that negative energy is turned around. When you have a positive thought, congratulate yourself, affirm it and think of yet another one. In this way you can build your chain of thoughts and that new chain of thought will turn your position around. It can be done at any time but the best time is now.
