Act your way into Right thinking

I have an inspiration board that is located right by the door I use to enter and exit my house...

One day a few weeks ago I was feeling exceptionally sorry for myself. This particular time however, instead of wallowing in it and beating the crap out of myself for feeling this way, my thoughts drifted to all of the good things in my life. As they did I thought of my higher power (whom I choose to call God). I immediately felt humbled. I pulled out a piece of paper and wrote these words.

Dear God:

I have the BEST life!

Thank you.

love,

Gabi

I posted it on my board and whenever the ingrained pattern of self pity comes creeping up I just say these words to myself and I can automatically feel my energy lift.

Good idea Gabi. I love inspirational stuff. I need to read things like the third step prayer to remind me that I need to turn it over. Gratitude lists are another awesome way to start the day!

See you tonight!

Gabi, that is the coolest! I had a similar day yesterday. My guides told me first thing that my mantra for the day was "Divine Order Permeates My Life, because you are truly blessed." I guess they knew it was going to be a rough day. I completely forgot about my manta and consequently let my thoughts cut loose and enjoy a full-on pity party... Dear God, I have the best life! Thank you!! Perfect:)
