Create a Magical Summer!

f you could lose one negative thought – just make it go away for the summer – which thought would you choose?

Do you see yourself as undesirable?  Do you think you’re stupid? Do you think you’ll never be successful?  Do you think you’re unlovable?  Do you think that you can’t handle money?  Do you think you’ll never amount to anything? Do you think you’re a loser when it comes to relationships?  Do you think that Source has lost your file?  Do you think you’ll never find your purpose in life?

Take a moment and think about the one thought that you would really like to lose.  Write it down.

Then I want you to ask yourself — Is it true?  Am I really a loser in relationships? Am I really undesirable?  Am I unlovable?  Am I doomed to a life of not being successful or doing work I love?  Am I stupid?

The answer is always the same.  NO! 

That’s right, the answer is NO.  You aren’t any of those negative thoughts.  You’ve just told yourself, or someone told you – someone very meaningful to you – that you were.  But now it’s just you and the thought, so you get to choose whether to accept it or not.

Maybe you had an experience that made you feel unlovable? Maybe your last business venture failed?  Or maybe you got laid off from your job?  Maybe you didn’t ace statistics or chemistry or even basic math.  So what, that’s all the past, it has absolutely nothing to do with today.

You see if that negative thought – I’m unlovable, I’m bad at relationships, I’m never going to amount to anything, I’m not smart – is not true, then it’s actually a lie. With that realization, you can choose the truth instead of the lie.

Why let any of those circumstances define who you are now?

Why do you do it?  It’s easier.  Yes, it’s easier than fighting back in your mind, which initially takes a lot of energy.  It’s easier to just wallow in the known than to risk another failure, another rejection, another broken heart.

But that’s a choice that leaves you unfulfilled, gloomy, maybe depressed and possibly lonely or poor.

During this summer, I don’t want you to spend time wondering where all that came from.  You probably know.  Chances are you’ve already spent time thinking about the how and why. We’re not dwelling in the past, we’re moving forward so you can enjoy the now!

Instead think about who you are without that thought?  Take a moment to let your mind really play with this one. 

I am lovable so I get to share, express and feel love coming from so many directions every day.

I am successful at work, so I feel fulfilled and joyful while I’m thriving at work.

I am smart in areas that interest me, so I’m constantly mentally stimulated and I don’t waste any energy on the things that don’t interest me.

I am good at relationships, so I have loving, exciting and meaningful ones.

I chose to thrive instead of being depressed and gloomy so I have a magical life filled with love, joy, beautiful relationships, success and prosperity.

So this summer use the warmth of the summer air and the lightness of the summer energy and choose to be the new you with your new thoughts.

Really milk it, play with it, bask in it.  Light yourself up with it.  Let yourself be like the fireflies that dance in the dusk of the day. They delight us with their playfulness.  They touch us with their seeming magic.

Choose to replace the negative thought.  Choose to dance and play this summer.  It’s all a choice.  You choose your thoughts.  You choose your life.

Create a magical summer by choosing to KNOW you are lovable, successful, smart and joyful.

Imagine the possibilities…
