It's Hard Not to Think About the Negative

As I've mentioned, I am a big believer in the law of attraction.  I've been reading a book called "The Success Principles" by Jack Canfield, and it is really good.  I'm only about a quarter of the way through it, but one of the recurring themes is that the experiences you have are a result of the patterns of thinking you have...what you predominantly focus on is what you are going to manifest in your life.

To that end, I've really been trying to take time to just daydream and allow myself to think about what a perfect life would be like.  I feel really positive after I do that, so I know that it's good for me.

But then very real thoughts and circumstances come up during the day which suck.  Most recently, I've just been angry about a lot of things in my life.  Angry about my financial situation, angry about my relationship status...just grrrrrrr angry about a lot of stuff. x-(

If I believe in the law of attraction, which I do, I've created those situations in my life by what I've been thinking.   And to a large extent I do see where that's true...even though it is a tough pill to swallow.  But when I think about those things, which are still very real parts of my life, I feel sad, hurt, mad, etc.  Its hard to snap out of that.  Its hard to feel good about being broke or being single.

But I know that to turn things around, I need to really start to change how I look at things.  So today, that's what I'm going to try to do.
