You Are What You Think About
October 29th, 2006You may have heard the saying “you are what you eat”, meaning if you eat lean healthy foods you will be lean and healthy or if you eat fat laden foods you will be fat. Well, the same principle applies to your thoughts. You are what you think about. If you regularly think positive thoughts of happiness and abundance, you will experience a life filled with happiness and abundance. The same thing goes for those who think negative thoughts of lack and despair. They will subsequently create an unhappy life for themselves. It sounds too simple to be true but it most definitely is.
This is not new information I have just recently discovered. We live in a thought based universe and civilizations have created their reality based on their thoughts since the beginning of time. Albert Einstein knew this and wrote extensively on the topic. Everything in the universe travels in circles, from the electrons spinning around the nucleus of an atom to a human thought. Every thought you think, whether you are aware of it or not, is sent as a pulse or vibration out into the universe gaining energy and returning to you. If you are a generally happy and positive person, your own personal vibration level will be relatively high and you will naturally emit positive thoughts or vibrations out into the universe and they will return to you more positive and happy experiences.
When you get caught in the rut of thinking negatively or spending a lot of time thinking about your problems, you are effectively creating more of the same. Although it may seem necessary to think about your problems in order to solve them, this is not the case. The more you think about your problems, the more problems you create in your life. Therefore, the best solution to overcoming your problems is to give them no thought at all. In fact, to overcome your problems in the shortest possible time, your best plan of attack would be to focus your thoughts on exactly the life you do want. This can be difficult for some people who have been caught up in a negative mindset for some time so I suggest to you to write down on paper the things you would like in your life.
Some examples would be. If you currently have no partner and this makes you feel miserable, write down on paper the traits of your ideal partner, this doesn’t need to be too specific, just some general traits you would prefer and then 2 or 3 times a day for about 10 minutes, spend some time thinking about being with that ideal partner. It’s not necessary to have a clear picture in you mind of what they look like, it’s more about concentrating on your happy feelings when you are with this ideal person, the more positive and happy your feelings are, the quicker you will see results.
The same goes for anyone who is bothered by a lack of money. As difficult as it may be to not think about your financial problems, understand that by the universals laws that govern the entire universe, it is not possible to solve your problems by worrying about them. The law of attraction states that what you think about will be attracted to you and this goes for everything you think about whether it be good or bad. If you are deep in debt you need to stop thinking about, thinking about how you can fix it will not solve the problem. You need to refocus your thoughts on exactly the opposite and really feel what it would be like to be prosperous and do this 2-3 times a day for about 10 minutes when you get a chance to relax. Perhaps before and after work and in your lunch break in a quiet place if possible. As you continue to do this you will realize you are what you think about.
When you spend some quiet time each day deliberately not thinking about your problems and instead focusing your thoughts with as much good feeling as possible, on what it is you want or will make you happy, you begin to break the constant cycle of sending negative thoughts out into the universe and returning with more negative experiences in your life. These short 10 minute bursts of positive energy bring back to you new positive ideas and opportunities at a later date for you to act on and help you improve the circumstances of your life.
So don’t worry that these short periods of positive thinking will have no bearing on your life when you seem entrenched in worrying most of the time. I have been there, worrying about my problems seemingly all the time, but it was facing the problems that lead me to look for a way out and that put me on the spiritual path which lead me out of the darkness and into the light. These short periods of positive thinking and creative visualization caused some positive energy to be sent back to me and as I noticed the opportunities arise I took action and in no time at all my life started to improve. At first it seemed like just a coincidence when I started to spend time feeling good and then I noticed some constructive opportunities come my way but there are no coincidences in life, there is only what you make yourself. You create your own opportunities from your habitual thinking and those thoughts create your reality.
In essence, you can have the life you want, by just simply thinking about it. The key is to monitor your thoughts and catch yourself when you begin to think negatively and replace those thoughts with positive thoughts. Then you can confidently expect to see the rewards from your happy thinking as they manifest in your happy life.

If you think that you are a failure, then you will be a failure. […]

Great post. I’ve been using affirmations for over half a decade. One can never underestimate the power of the mind.

Thanks for the post! I would also add that taking action and bringing to life those positive thoughts will get you even further in life, and closer to the life you know you can have.

I’ve found this to be quite accurate in my own life, as my thoughts and mental outlook seem to have a direct influence on the things I experience.
There are many articles/reports that show the simple act of writing down goals and visualizing them can help lead to reaching your goals. The mind is a very powerful weapon.

A very insightful message, which can bring happiness and success for anyone. Unfortunately most of us are enslaved by thinking generated by our past and current problems, rather than thinking and visualizing our dreams. Keep up the good work.
