1. When you are thinking a thought and it does not feel good (you feel sad or anxious or angry) it is because your heart, your cells, your body, your emotional being is rejecting that thought.

It is not what is truth

We can feel a deep sadness but feel peace with that sadness (this is often not the case)

2. Use your emotions as your guide, when you are feeling funky, you are probably thinking funky

3. Look at what you are telling yourself asap. Write it out. Otherwise your jumping monkey brain will literally not be able to catch one of the 60,000 thoughts we have daily and you will not get a good read on what you are telling yourself; therefore you will be unable to grab that though and question it (and then look at the silliness of it)

4. Not taking your thoughts so seriously is a practice, you have practiced for a very long time taking thoughts seriously, you are learning something new.

You have now entered the Mental Gym

5. You must go almost every day to the ‘Gym’, if not every day to get stronger. You cannot expect to build biceps if you do not work them out.

There are many ways to work out your mind, perhaps write them all out and pick one every day.

Trust that if on one day you pick ‘meditate’, then meditate and if on another you pick ‘take a bath’ then do that

But also give yourself the freedom to choose what is best for you.

However not doing anything, is never best, remember that. Unless it is a conscious choice to simply just rest.

6. Love yourself. God has not abandon you. He lives in you. When you give yourself the love you desire, deserve and need, God will show up Full force in your life. Do not abandon yourself.

Indulging in the ego (fearful thinking), is how we abandon ourselves.

7. Claim what is you desire, and when you “think” that that is not what you desire, notice how you feel. What is the truth?

It will feel odd at first, you have never taken care of your desires in this way before. That’s ok. Expect that the more you claim what is yours, the more God will provide a gateway.

8. You will be scared that your desire may not happen, but would you rather be scared or depressed as your cells reject the lies your ego is telling you.  The fear is all based on the past. There is no way YOU can know what is in store for you. You create your life, but on Gods playing field. You can make almost anything happen, but you have chosen to do it consciously, which may take a bit more effort but all along the journey life will feel so much more enjoyable.

9. Life does not start after a boyfriend, husband, new job, new city, new wardrobe. Its now, it is 2012.

Claim your desire and do all that you can and God will do more then you could ever imagine.
