Positive attitude. It’s a good thing, right? But you can’t be positive all the time, can you? Bad things seem to happen. Everyone’s got problems. So what’s the deal? It sounds like a good idea, but I can’t just keep pretending everything is fine, can I? I mean, I have real problems, that demand my attention… a seeming endless stream of thoughts and concerns that come so rapidly, at times we feel overwhelmed by them.
So how can we put a pause in the train of thought that just never seems to stop? Now that’s a good question! It would appear that we are circumstantial people, motivated by circumstances. If it’s painful enough we’ll change. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We can choose to go for what we want, right now, in this moment. We can choose to be happy right now, despite all “seeming” evidence to the contrary. We just have to let go of everything we’re thinking about for thirty seconds, and allow what is “there, all ready” to present itself. TCM Dr. Alex Guerrero says, “holding a positive thought for thirty seconds, physilogically changes our body chemistry”.
That’s where Possitudes come in. A new way to look at the same thing. Possitudes are ways of saying things that make you pause and ask, “what does that say” and in asking the question, the answer is drawn out of you so you can re-member who, and what you really are. (in other words, you have to stop what you’re thinking about to consider, or remember the idea) Happy, joyful, peaceful, blessed, etc. Our minds look for answers to the questions we ask, so let’s ask some better questions! Make statements and ask questions that support the life you want, because that’s what you’ll get. And while you’re at it, you’ll be giving everyone that sees you, the same opportunity. My personal favorite at this time: ”What if you are happy and you just forgot?”. Stop for a minute and really think about what that means to you, for 30 seconds… see if it doesn’t change your whole day. You are worth thirty seconds… re-member….
