I've been learning more and more that life is all about state-management. Everything in your life is a result of your state of being.
Therefore managing the state that you're in that you're in is incredibly
important. The thoughts we think alter the state of being that we're in. If we
think joy-filled thoughts, we will be filled with joy. If we think sad
thoughts, we will be filled with sorrow. If your state of being is positive, it
will help you attract all that you have and desire to have in your life, and
vice versa. Therefore, if we desire great lives it is of the utmost importance
that we manage our state of being by taking control of our thoughts. Another
thing we can do to manage and positively transform our state of being is to
actively seek activities that bring us joy, a sense of productivity, and a
healthy self-esteem. For me, this means being disciplined in taking care of
myself, spending time with those I love, spending time in nature, reading,
writing, and learning new things, going on photo adventures, blogging, and
making delicious vegan dishes. Ask yourself "What can I do right now that
would bring me more joy?" Or have a list of things you find enjoyable to choose
from that you can have at hand so that any time you are feeling negative; you
can go out and do one of those things.
Teal Scott said that "Your emotions are an indication of what vibration you are holding, [and] your vibration equals your point of attraction for everything coming into your reality and everything you're convalescing with." And I couldn't agree more. We must be cognizant of the thoughts we think, and the words we speak in order to monitor our emotions and make sure they are in alignment with what we desire in life. I like the way the words of Frank Outlaw sum it up:
“Watch your thoughts, they become words;
watch your words, they become actions;
watch your actions, they become habits;
watch your habits, they become character;
watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”
watch your words, they become actions;
watch your actions, they become habits;
watch your habits, they become character;
watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”
Emotions are energy in motion. The emotions we hold have the
ability to create energy that is powerful enough to either positively or
negatively alter our lives. Succumbing to negative emotions like boredom, pessimism,
disappointment, doubt, discouragement, anger, blame, worry, jealousy, hatred, fear,
grief, insecurity, or revenge are all a dangerous trap that can throw us into a
downward spiral. Choosing to maintain and emit positive emotions like
contentment, gratitude, hopefulness, optimism, expecting positive outcomes,
enthusiasm, passion, joy, knowledge, empowerment, and appreciation are all
powerful emotions that launch us into new levels of prosperity and enjoyment of
life. Choosing to do whatever is within
your power to remain in the states of higher emotions is what will propel you
closer to having the life you've always dreamed of!
