Positive Thoughts and Inspired Musings
Love is kind. Love is profound. Love originates in the heart and emanates in waves of radiant compassion. Love intensifies. Love engages. Love intertwines. Love extends and blends. Love creates. Love spins magic. Love is the beginning — and the end. Love is the wonder, the excitement, the exhilaration. Love warms (and love burns…)
Love is connection. Love is up-close-and-personal. Love is the profound and infinite laughter that flows from our soul. Love is the flashing, beating pattern of the spirited heart. Love illuminates. Love is the breath of life. Love is the ancient ethereal wisdom of the Universe. Love is sometimes poignant, bittersweet and complex.
Love teaches. Love inspires. Love uplifts our senses. Love moves us, infuses us and sometimes challenges us. Love cocoons us in its powerful brilliance. Love is the emotion and intelligence of our core essence. Love is the conscious voice of all that is joyful, compassionate and eternal.
Above all — love needs action. Love needs to be spoken, shouted, professed and avowed. Love needs to be eloquently displayed. Love must be nudged, nurtured and nourished. Love needs expression both verbally and emotionally — often and profusely. Love needs to be focused on with full and rapt attention.
Love means spending time. Love means making time to spend. Love means generosity of spirit. Love means placing another’s welfare before your own. Love means patience. Love means acceptance, tolerance and understanding. Love means support, encouragement and respect.
Love is unique to each of us – yet it is the common empowering thread that connects all of us through the expanse of time and space. Love takes effort. Love is worth the effort.
Love is all.

Release Ingrained Negative Thought Patterns
We all get caught up in negative thought patterns at times, but how do you feel when are so immersed in that loop of thinking? Your whole being can feel out of balance, and sometimes downright stressed, fatigued, depressed and resentful. It is painful to be that way all the time or even most of that time. Sometimes these patterns are so ingrained from childhood that we have a difficult time making an “escape” from them.
Of course, we all go through episodes in our lives when truly bad things happen. There are circumstances such as death, job loss, divorce, and many other events that can send us into a tailspin of turmoil and challenge. But aside from those dramatic times, we truly have the power to release those negative thought patterns. And even in those extremely challenging times, we can still be strong and persevere in a very positive way.
My own beginning in childhood was modeling after a very domineering father. He was the anti-Law Of Attraction thinker. He deliberately chose to be negative, to focus on the worst that could happen and to consistently live his life that way. He used to tell me “I always think about the worst-case scenario, and but hope that something better happens!” and he would continue “I like to take a negative and turn it into a positive.” But by spending so much time in the negative mode, he was never able to lift himself into the positive!
My natural inclination as a child was to be innocently joyful, but I was fighting an uphill battle. It is only in more recent times that I have been able to break away from these deeply ingrained thought patterns.
I know that there are many people who are very much like my father in terms of the way they think. Their head talk revolves around these kind of self-deprecating statements:
My life is a mess.
I will never be successful.
Money does not come easily to me.
I have to work so hard just to make ends meet.
The world is such a sad place.
I am a loser.
I had somebody tell me last week that they consistently have bad dreams that result in disturbed feelings that stay with them through the entire day. But there is no excuse for that. I sometimes have bad dreams too (most people dream and not all dreams are “sweet.”) But I release any such nightmares when I awake and I greet the day on a positive note. (If you didn’t catch one of my previous articles, Positive Thinking – Reach for a Feel-Good Thought First Thing in the Morning, click here.)
Releasing negativity is a conscious choice every one of us can make. We do not need to feel sad, forlorn, discordant, tense, etc. We DO have a choice. We can choose the way we think. I write about this quite a bit, because it is such a powerful concept. And if you can really understand and implement it into your everyday experience, it will SHIFT your life in an amazing way. If that figurative light bulb flips on in your head, saying “ah ha – there might be something to that idea” then you are on your way.
Say your positive affirmations and better yet, FEEL your positive affirmations:
- My life is amazing and filled with joy.
- I release negativity and stress, and welcome peacefulness.
- Every day, I am more and more open to abundance flowing into my life.
- I am a magnet for success and prosperity.

Feel-Good Statements For Personal Transformation
Reciting an affirmation or two every day is helpful — but is that really enough to bring about the manifestation and accomplishment you are seeking? Affirmations — those glorious, feel-good statements — are an amazing way to set the personal transformation process in motion. However, they are only the beginning step.
I often write about affirmations and the potential of change and possibility that they hold. They have made a significant beneficial difference in my own life. Positive affirmations are statements — the joyful-energy-filled and happy-sounding kind — that I consider to be “transformational tools.” They help guide one in a better-feeling direction. Saying a few affirmations each day is a great start, but here are five points to keep in mind for a stronger push toward a real shift in the way you think and feel:
1) Develop a consistent daily personal affirmation practice. Choose an affirmation (or two or three) that really resonate with you or your path in life. Write them down or print them out and be sure to say them at least twice a day, morning and evening. Carry them with you and read them during the day! Say them as you face yourself in the mirror for even greater empowerment. Stick to the same affirmations for a period of time that feels right for you — whether it be a week, a month — or even a year!
2) Get into the energy behind your affirmations. Recite these statements in an upbeat, happy way. Notice the inflection of your voice — make it sound joyful, even if you have to fake it! After faking it for a bit, you will actually start to feel authentic about it. Once you get into the “mode of positivity,” your affirmations will develop a real tone of power.
3) Write some of your own affirmations. Affirmations written BY you FOR you are very powerful! Start your statements with “I am” “I feel” “I welcome” or “I am open to…” Then add a few positive aspects that relate directly to you. Example: I welcome prosperity and joy into my life! I am open to new friends and exciting new opportunities. Or use this phrase “It is easy for me to…” It is easy for me to attract abundance into my everyday experience. It is easy for me to take good care of my body and my mind.
Write something that you are inspired to write. Just make a decision that you will think up great affirmations that reflect your goals — this will help the statements flow more easily. Once you have written them, integrate these into your Affirmation Practice.
4) Be open to “affirmation thinking.” Using feel-good statements will help lead to positive head talk. Positive head talk (sometimes called self-talk) is a way of thinking that we all aspire to. It certainly is far better than the opposite — negative head talk — which is what many people exhibit much of the time. When you consistently use affirmation thinking, your entire outlook will improve.
5) WELCOME a shift in your energy. This is essential. Your own personal energetic balance needs to shift toward the positive — embracing abundance, joy, prosperity, goal manifestation — all that great stuff! Begin the inner work of this conscious energy change — or at least be open to the process of it. Sometimes it actually happens rather quickly once you set your intention. Be confident — and it WILL happen!
