A recent Daily Teaching from The Secret stated that in order to bring what we want into our lives, we must change the balance of our thoughts. In other words, if we want something new in our lives, more of our thoughts need to be focused on this new thing that we want than are focused on the old thing that we do not want.
This was such a great reminder to me. One of the biggest challenges I find with following The Secret is changing my thoughts. When I really examine my daily thoughts, I've discovered that I am very often thinking about what I DON'T want. It's certainly not on purpose - it's just an old habit.
One thing I've been trying to do since reading this very useful Daily Teaching is, every time I notice that I'm thinking negatively or focusing on what I don't want in my life, I immediately begin thinking / day-dreaming about how life will be when I have my dream job.
Not only is this a pleasurable exercise, but it's also helping me shift the balance of my thoughts. I am still working on making my positive thoughts of what I DO want compose at least 50% of my daily thoughts. When I can do that, I'll then work to shift the balance beyond 50%, and then I think I'll be well on my way to attracting that which I want into my life.
