From Chaos to Clarity: How Changing Your Thoughts Can Change Your Life
The Art of Daydreaming
Day-dream
noun:
the stream of consciousness that detaches from current, external tasks when attention drifts to a more personal and internal direction.
Do you ever stop to think about what you’re thinking about? It might sound like a silly question, but most of us don’t pay much attention to the constant chatter in our minds. However, what we focus on in our thoughts can significantly impact our lives. This is where subconscious reprogramming comes in.
When the soul wishes to experience something, she throws an image of the experience before her and enters into her image.~ Meister Eckhart ~
Do you have any idea what you think about all day? How is your life going? It sounds like a silly question, but most of us don’t observe the drama inside our heads. You’ve heard the saying, “Be careful what you wish for because you might just get it!!” This is the universal Law of Attraction at work and applies to all of us without question. Unless we consciously watch ourselves from the sidelines, our everyday thoughts and reactions to the environment are largely habitual. We do our daily work, plan, and interact with our fellow human beings, but in between, we also have secret fears, grudges, and a great deal of negative self-talk. If you pay attention carefully, you’ll see that the reality outside yourself mirrors what is happening inside your head.
Daydreaming and the Law of Attraction
What you focus on expands. If you are constantly worrying about this or that…then guess what? You will attract more events in your life to worry about. It is that simple. If you tell yourself NOT to worry about something…well, you are focused on it, so you ARE worrying about it. The trick is to think about what you DO want and not what you DON’T want. Did I say it was easy? No, it’s not easy to change a lifetime of habitual thinking, but being aware of it is a step in the right direction. You will now begin to catch yourself in your internal dramas. When you do, try and change the thought to something that makes you feel better. If you feel better, you become ‘unstuck’ from your current drama and move on. Your perspective changes, and you are in the flow for now. Sometimes, feeling better means you will run through negative emotions such as anger or revenge, but if it lifts you out of depression or despair, it is a step in the right direction. You can continue moving up the emotional scale until you feel more positive emotions such as pleasure, love, and gratitude.
Consciously slowing down your mind and being present, not focusing on the past or the future, will make a massive difference in your state of mind and your overall mood. Meditation, prayer, nature walks, or making a list of things you are grateful for are some ways to do this. Practicing this a little every day will work wonders, I promise you!
Here’s another saying: “If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you’ve always got.” In other words…you must change those habitual thoughts, self-talk, and reactions to get better results.
As you know, personal changes can sometimes bring about some upheaval in your life, but that is perfectly normal. Recognizing the chaos as part of the process will help to keep you moving forward.
“If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you’ve always got.”
In other words…you must change those habitual thoughts, self-talk, and reactions to get better results.
The Law of Attraction states that what we focus on expands. If we spend our time worrying about things, we will attract more things to worry about. The key is to focus on what we want rather than what we don’t want. Changing our habitual thinking patterns is difficult, but becoming aware of them is an excellent first step. When we catch ourselves in negative thoughts, we can change them to something more positive. This can help us feel better and get unstuck from our negative thoughts.
One way to slow down our minds and be present is through meditation, prayer, or walking in nature. These practices can help us focus on the present moment and feel more gratitude.
We must change our habitual thoughts, self-talk, and reactions if we want positive life changes. This can be uncomfortable initially, but it’s a necessary part of the process. Using techniques like subconscious reprogramming, we can change our thoughts and attract positivity into our lives. One technique in The Mahal Method is The Art of Daydreaming, which emphasizes the importance of positive visualization and living from the desired result.
You might be surprised at the results! Remember, personal growth can be messy, but recognizing the chaos as part of the journey can help us focus on our goals. So take time daily to be mindful of your thoughts and focus on the positive.
Man can learn nothing except by going from the known to the unknown.
