It is not our thoughts that empower or disempower us. It is our reaction to those thoughts. When we think thoughts we label 'good', we feel happy. When we think thoughts we label 'bad', we feel unhappy. But thoughts neither bind us or enlighten us, emotions do.
Guilt, fear and shame block us. They cut us off from the energy, vitality, inspiration and abundance of our Higher Self. In doing so, they dampen our experience of life and its infinite potentiality.
Passion and excitement, joy and enjoyment, on the other hand, expand us. They open us up to ever greater inspiration, abundance and healing. They free us from the worries of the mind, which focuses, almost exclusively, on the fears and failures of the past. When we are in our flow we move beyond our limited past, we connect directly to our spirit, our Higher Self, and we are expanded and enhanced. We are more truly who we Are. We are in communion with Self.
The daily application of this is simple - though simple isn't always easy here on Planet Earth - focus on what brings your joy and delight, on your passion and inspiration, "And all these things shall be given unto you", as the Psalm says. When you feel fear, shame or guilt, stand back. Change your focus.
If it's a problem you really do have to deal with, rather than an absent-minded thought, explore the situation from a different perspective: what is the gift it holds within? What is the opportunity within the situation?
Some life lessons require us to 'woman up', yet those are often the ones that stretch us beyond our previous limits: and, in the blink of an eye, we have brought ourselves Home: our delight in solving the challenge from a gift-centred perspective has brought us back to our Essence, our flow, our passion, our delight.
