Ground Hog Day

I love the movie, Ground Hog Day, with Bill Murray because it reminds me of how many opportunities you have each day to be great. I am sure if we all had the opportunity to relive a certain bad day in our life; we could certainly be more understanding, kind, or humble. If you feel like every day is just like yesterday, then you may want to consider doing something different.

So if your life feels like a never ending treadmill, then it’s time to take a look at some other options. Here at Keeping Life Simple, we want to introduce you to alternatives that will set you free! We encourage you to start dreaming again and picture yourself living a life of abundance. So how do you change your life?

Focus on what you want – NOT what you don’t want

50 years ago, Earl Nightingale was on the radio talking about “The Strangest Secret.” This inspirational recording became a huge hit back in the day.

It was the first time broadcast media was used to communicate this simple message to millions of people:

“You become what you think about most.”

THAT is, of course, true, and that was Nightingale’s “Strangest Secret!”

The point is simple. You should consciously choose and be aware of everything you think and talk about. Everything in life is a test – so test this:

For the next 6 hours, choose to focus your thoughts and your spoken words ONLY on what you really want in your life. If bad thoughts start to creep in, then you need to flesh out the positive thoughts in more detail. Get vivid colors, smells, sounds. Get all your senses involved.

As Earl Nightingale said, your mind can only hold one thought at a time. The more vivid you make that picture, the more detail you can put into it, the less and less troublesome negative thoughts will be for you. There just won’t be any room for them.

Focus on the POSITIVE and getting rid of the negative

Visualization is the most powerful way to reprogram your brain so do this little test for several hours every day – until it is second nature to you, and it is standard operating procedure for you. Your life will make a major positive change when everything you see is positive.
