WHAT WE ARE IS A REFLECTION OF THE THOUGHTS WE FOCUS ON

• This is a longish post to fill your day with enthusiasm and positive energy.. What we are is the result of the thoughts we focus on and allow to remain in our minds..The mind is indeed everything. What we think we become said Buddha.... You experience and create all kinds of different energies that constantly surround you, affect how you feel and what you accomplish throughout your day.. This energy is anything that invokes a reaction inside of you.. Energy comes to us in different forms.. The chair you’re sitting on, the music you’re listening to, the book you just finished reading, all provoke some sort of reaction within you.. Some energies are powerful and easily recognizable, while others may be more subtle and often only intuitively felt.. I believe it is fair to say that every single thing on this Universe  is, in a sense, energy.. The things you say, the things you think, the things you do— even some of the things you don’t do — all produce energy that impacts you.. Since, all energy produces its own energy fields, it impacts the people around you.. If you work on creating more positive energy, you’ll experience improvement in every facet of your life and you’ll touch more lives than you thought possible.. Take music, for example.. How does listening to your favorite song make you feel? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, dig into your iTunes right now and put on a song you simply adore.. Take a break from reading this, close your eyes as you listen to the song, and see what you feel.. Music is one of the most powerful and recognizable forms of energy, which is perhaps why it is grounded in so many sacred traditions.. A powerful musician can create the same sensation in many different people.. Music is the easiest way to shift your energy levels quickly to what is needed.. Athletes often listen to certain songs before games to help chanelize adrenaline; artists listen to music to help get their creative juices flowing; and many writers write with the help from music.. While music is the easiest way to understand this concept, it is definitely not the only way to become energized... Every morning when I wake up I fling the curtains open and let the sun flood into the room.. This is a great way to become energized first thing in the morning.. I don’t let rain sap my energy, though.. If it’s raining, I try to be fully aware of the beauty of the rain and it's importance as a source of water, before me, so it becomes a positive influence, as well.. follow the path of a few raindrops down the window or watch the ripples form in a puddle.. Either way, you will be fully present in the moment,  which is the most important thing if you want to feel energy in a positive way.. When you are here and now, everything is beautiful energy !!! Make a list of all the things that makes you feel great and use it as a guide as you learn to become energized from a wider variety of things.. If being in nature is something that energizes you, try spending a little more time outdoors.. If the sun energizes you, there is a good chance that outdoors will rejuvenate you.. Some of the things that bring positive energy into my life are Yoga, Meditating, Creative writing, Keeping a dream journal, Reading, Focusing on gratitude.. It's all individual.. Positive energy is simply awesome and contagious.. When you constantly take in positive energy from your surroundings, it will be visible in YOUR outer world and your outlook.. You will feel yourself radiating beautiful energy in everything you do... Everyone will recognize it.. Everyone  loves being around a person who exudes positive energy, for they feed off his/her energy in recharging themselves.. To make room for the positive energy available in this moment, you’ll need to release all the negative energy you’re holding onto from the past — be it distant or recent.. This may sound like an overwhelming task, but it doesn’t need to be, if you simply focus solely on the beautiful moment now and ask yourself: What is it that I see in front of me that makes me feel good.. And then simply focus on it..  if I don’t see anything that provides that feeling, simply create it by focusing on things that do.. A lot of people think of energy in pure spiritual terms, like the divine energy of Christ, Buddha, or Krishna.. It isn’t necessarily an other worldly concept.. It’s something we all create in our day-to-day activities.. If you learn to fully appreciate this moment fully, you will see that YOU - YES, YOU have THE PROFOUND POWER to manifest positive feelings within— to create divinely inspired energy, that impacts everything and everyone around you.. In this way, we play a much larger part in the bigger picture than we realize.. Cheers to your lovely day of building your own positive energy and spreading it unconditionally into the Universe around you
