30 DAYS TO A NEW ME

Why 30 days of Positivity?
I’ve really been practicing lately to be in a constant state of awareness. We have thousands of thoughts per day but do you know where they come from? What are some reoccurring themes? Can you turn your thoughts off? These are some of the questions I’ve been asking myself as I observe the unrelenting stream of thoughts that enter my mind. I can’t say that I can answer all of these questions yet but what I do know is I have a tendency to focus on the negative thoughts and ironically, those are the ones that keep replaying in my head. I plan and attend my own pity party and I’m the only attendee. When negative thoughts arise, I’m making a pledge to myself to transmute those mind disturbers into something positive. I knew it was time for a change so when I was introduced to Esther Hicks Youtube video called, “30 Days to a New You, positive thinking for 30 days seemed like an obtainable goal. Esther talking about using those 30 days to get your desires in motion by intensely focusing on the things that you want and the things that genuinely feel good. One of the things that always feels good is writing so my love of writing and this challenge of thinking positively for 30 days will go hand-n-hand. Actually, I think the writing will help me stay focused on thinking of things from a positive perspective because that’s when I feel pure and uncensored. Where Does the Blog Challenge Fit in?

Come One, Come All I’m so excited about the writing challenge and my positive thinking endeavor that I would love for everyone to participate with me. Push yourself to the edge of possiblities because that’s where your dreams are trying to take you. Let’s help one another stay motivated so the challenges ahead will flow smoothly like the sounds of a symphony.

getting ride of all the negative chatter is always a challenge to work on. I am one that tends to look at the glass as being half full, I am not one to stay down for long and focus on the negative but I have to say it does get in the way when I let those thought take over.
Great post...
I look forward to reading more this month during the Ultimate Blogging Challenge
Here is my first post of the month

@Finding One's Way - that is so good you think from a positive stand point. I've found the mind is very powerful and we have to master how to use it so negative thoughts don't take over.

@BornStoryteller - negative people may be drawn to because you may be the force that helps them be more positive people. Keep being positive!

@Reba, thx for the kudos
