The Most Underutilized Power At Our Fingertips

We have all heard many times now, "Everything is Energy." What we fail to fully understand and greatly underutilize is one of our greatest powers: the power of thought and word. What we say to ourselves and to others CREATES. It is energy that we are sending out every day, all day long. And, when we repeatedly say and/or think anything negative, we create negative energy that will boomerang.  I guess that is how I think about it: whatever I put out there comes back at me in the same form.  It may not be the exact negative thing I am saying, but it will be negative. We may think we are saying it about other people, but remember the boomerang.  And, if we are focused so much on their negative, we lack the focus on our positive, and therefore lose a great deal of power in creating our life in the positive.

The simplicity of gratitude is often forgotten as well.  Most of us spend little time appreciating what we have, the good in our current relationships, health, job, and home. Instead, we put much thought and words into the dissatisfaction of our wealth, health, relationships, and home.  


That’s why positive guided meditations are so popular now, because we have a hard time doing it ourselves. These meditations are great, and yet the most powerful of all is when you use your own mind, heart, and personal life to be your positive momentum.

So, if you are feeling down, if you have held in anger, judgment, or frustration, go punch a pillow for a while to get it out. Then go clean that pillow or throw it away and start to focus on what you are grateful for, even the little things, like that cup of coffee you enjoy in the am, or that you got some good sleep, or that beautiful bird that just flew by. While walking around, notice the kindness others are sharing with their child, or a stranger, the smile on the cashier’s face, the kid smiling at you while sitting in the cart. There is so much to look at and be grateful for. It truly counters the negative and, with practice, can bring you to a better place internally and externally.  It may seem like the outside world has changed for the better, but it is actually you who changed it.

Lastly, do not criticize yourself for saying or thinking negative things!  That's a double whammy!  We all do it... just shift, laugh at yourself, and start moving into the positive!

The most underutilized power:  our own words and thoughts…it is ready when you are!
