Overcoming Negativity – Leaving Behind Past Attitudes

I was born into a Brooklyn family where negativity was a way of life. My father was the original Mr. Negative — the anti-Law of Attraction thinker. Back then nobody knew about the Law of Attraction. (nobody knew anything about cholesterol either!)

But Dad and Mom both liked to yell, and were not enlightened in the parenting department. My father’s take on life which he used to state often went something like this “Well I always start with a negative but I’ll try to turn it into a positive” or “I always imagine the negative, but if if should turn out well, then what a pleasant surprise!”

He was totally missing the point. By focusing on the negative on such a regular basis, he was unknowingly bringing lots more negative into his life experience! Modeling my behavior on what I learned from my parents often brought me to an unhappy place in terms of my emotions. But back then, it was all I knew!

Fast forward to now. Fast forward to my practicing Reiki, fast forward to understanding Law of Attraction principles, fast forward to joy, serenity, self-empowerment, and sometimes plain-old fun! Life is dramatically better!

Anyone can escape the negativity. It just takes wanting to, it takes motivation and it takes doing the old one-step-at-a-time thing. I mention it often, but affirmations are so phenomenal for this inner work. (See my earlier post Positive Affirmations) Really honing in on the Law of Attraction thinking is key to turning your life onto the path of joy and manifestation – and all those positive things that just flow into your life when you change your way of thinking!

Affirmation, Attitude, Action for today: I am always at the right place at the right time. I am at peace with the world and myself. Each day I take positive steps to bring abundance and joy into my experience.
