Thought Replacement

Lordy, these old thought patterns are just so doggone stubborn!

While working around the house today, I keep thinking about unpleasant situations at my old job, which has been a long-standing habit of mine. Now that I understand "The Secret," I know that I need to keep my thoughts focused on what I WANT, rather than what I don't want.

Since I want my fabulous New Job, my task today has been to simply replace my old thoughts any time I realize I'm having them with new thoughts. As soon as I realize the old habit has kicked in, I turn my thoughts in the opposite and POSITIVE direction, and begin thinking about how wonderful my New Job is...how much I love it every day, how fortunate I feel to get to do such fun work on a daily basis, and how wonderful and kind my co-workers are.

Once in awhile, my old thoughts are rather stubborn and persistent and it requires extra effort to turn them around. When that happens, I actually talk out loud to myself, describing all the details I can think of about my New Job, until my mind gets the picture.

Whew - can't wait until my mind has POSITIVE thought as a daily habit. I'm getting there!
