Sometimes it seems as if we have no control over our lives! Actually we have complete control over certain aspects of our lives.
Katy was in my office and we were discussing her outlook. She is dealing with another round of chemotherapy and her oncologist referred her to me. She knew I would work with her holistically as well as nutritionally to help her with this next round of chemo.
She was telling me about walking hunched over down the hallway in the hospital after her last surgery. We discussed that although she had no control over the diagnosis by her doctors, she still had complete control over her perceptions.
Events happen and unfortunate things occur. We cannot control the entire universe, but we can control our universe, our mind. By focusing on the things within our control, we become more empowered and peaceful.
Using our mental bank we can make deposits contributing to positives. An “attitude of gratitude” deposits positives into our mental bank. Focusing on negatives and what we do not have contributes to more lack and more negativity.
Our minds are powerful frequency receivers picking up on all energy. We can tune into the positives much like tuning into a radio station that gives us good feelings, or we can tune into another channel, or frequency, that feels disruptive or anxiety provoking.
We have complete control over which channels we tune into. But some of us may be in the habit of tuning into negative frequencies. There is no time like now to start a new habit of tuning into positive energies, regardless of what seems to be happening.
Perhaps you or someone you know is in the habit of tuning into negativity. It may be helpful to work with a trained clinician using holistic, solution-focused methods to help break those old habits of thinking and behaving in ways that are counterproductive.
