MANAGING STRESS

My friends want to go bankrupt. Their house has become a noose aroundtheir necks, mortgaged for more than they can sell it. Stress and worry are their daily practice. They can change it. Here’s how.

1000 Thoughts
It's the little things that count. You stress, worry and move into fear 1000 times a day. So you create fear and worry as a focus, so the universe complies and brings you more fear and worry. The law of attraction works perfectly. Wake up and pay attention to your thoughts and feelings as often as you can every day. You will directly affect what happens in your life. Choose what emotion you would like to be in. Don’t let your mind run away into Negative-ville. Choose 1000 times a day. Those little things will add up to a wholesome, healthy and happy you.

The Now
Stay in the present moment as much as possible. Ask yourself: Am I safe NOW? Validate what you have, not what you don’t have: a roof over your head, food, health, cleanliness, safety, friends, and possibilities. This will become your focus: the now moment.

Worry’s Has No Value
Stop worrying that your house might burn down or you might be hit crossing the street. It does only damage to your mind, body and spirit. Worry cannot add one jot to your joy or length of life. It can only be destructive, trapping your mind in an endless loop of negativity. It is needless and extremely self abusive to let your mind run willy-nilly out of control into these polluted thoughts.

Take Control.
Decide what you will and will not focus on. Thoughts, fears and worries may come unbidden, but you can say to them, I'm not focusing on you today. I am choosing to bring joy into my life. I know where following these thoughts will lead me. I'm heading into joy. I'm choosing to walk in the light. I'm choosing to create my reality in the best way I know how.

Pollyanna
This is NOT blissful ignorance or Pollyanna thinking. This is choice for what you desire. What you focus on you will get more of. Those little thoughts all day long are under your control. You can focus on fear of illness or focus on health. You can focus on lack of funds or on abundance. For surely somewhere in your life you can find and be grateful for health and abundance.

Freedom From Fear
The fastest way to change things is to be grateful for something and then feel the positive emotions of that gratitude. Focus on possible joys instead of possible problems. It’s an option! The more energy you put into being grateful now, this very moment, visualizing and feeling into delicious events happening, you will begin to create those things in your life. The choice is yours. What do you have to lose? Only your fears. Hang them up on the bedpost at night. They will be there in the morning if you really want them back. You’ll get a good night’s sleep, free of fears.

Choose! Joy is always an option!

P.S. My friends have decided to work through their money issues and reprioritize their spending habits. It will work. They now have the mind set for it. Their focus has become joy and abundance!
