“Life is too short to spend it in negativity. So I made a conscious effort not to be where I don’t want to be.” – Hugh Dillon
Read that one more time. Can you guess what his gift is? He can make a conscious effort to recognize that negativity is not something to count on.
One of the most groundbreaking revelations I have found in my life is that negative thoughts can be manifested too!
Our thoughts shape our reality. This applies to thoughts that focus on what we want and thoughts about things we want to avoid. I learned this the hard way.
When I was a year away from turning 20, I had a falling out with my childhood friend. We were friends, and when I say childhood friend, I mean since we were in primary school. We grew up together. I used to go to his house and have dinner with his family and vice versa. But as we got older, our interests began to grow. This led to multiple arguments.
I still remember clearly when we kept talking to each other, which lasted for a week. I knew this was the ‘make it or break it’ part of our friendship, and I always felt deep down that it was the latter. He was going down an unhealthy path, and I wanted to save him. The more I tried, the more the distance between us grew. I hope to go back to how we were. I wanted to fix what went wrong in our friendship. But I kept thinking, “what if he doesn’t go back to normal? I probably wasn’t there enough for him. We will have a great fight. I knew this was going to happen. Maybe this is what it’s meant to be. I won’t be able to save him. He is too far from me now.”
My thoughts were all over the place. I promised myself that I would fix our strong friendship, but why did I continue to enjoy all the negative ways it could turn out?
The day I feared happened. We had a strong confrontation, and now, we are no longer friends. Our paths never crossed again.
I regret it to my heart even to this day. But that’s why I shared it with you.
You can’t hope for something great and still think you don’t deserve it.
Let’s say you want to get over a toxic relationship with your ex. But you keep following his social media updates, checking your phone for calls or texts, and daydreaming of what could have been if you could have changed his ways. Or you want to go on a date and start over, but all you tell yourself is that you don’t deserve amazing people in your life and you’re not worth it.
Then you won’t be able to move forward. All the negative choices you dwell on will show because your thoughts have led your energy and actions there.
As you work on your New Year Manifestations to start 2021 off right, keep in mind that negative manifestations do exist. It lingers in your mind, and if you don’t release it, it stays.
Our focus may shift to the negative side from time to time, but we should take the higher road and acknowledge it and let it go. The more we think about the ‘bad’ thing that could happen, the more it is bound to happen because we put our energy into it.
So how can you stop negative manifestations from happening?
Acknowledge
Get your pen and paper and write down all the negative thoughts you have. It can be about a small issue or a big unresolved problem – it’s okay! Just keep writing. After you’ve finished writing everything that sticks in your mind, take the time to read it and recognize each number on your list.
Remember that everything on that list should not be on your mind as you embark on your New Year Manifestations.
Let Go
Now that you’ve written down the negative thoughts you’ve been having, and acknowledged them, don’t go over them again. Let the ink carry the thought and let it stay there. Now it is transferred from your mind to paper. What’s next? Crumple the paper as if erasing the evidence that existed in the first place. This is the hiring process.
Stay positive
When you have completed step 1 and 2, all that remains is to remain positive. 2020 was a tough year for everyone. But you beat him! This 2021, doesn’t mean you have to skip to live life in the best way right now.
You can use this year to pick yourself up and all the pieces you’ve lost along the way. Reminisce happy memories. Relive it. Start a hobby that ignites a deep passion in you. Focus on attracting the life you’ve always wanted!
And of course, write your New Year’s Manifestations without any commitment to a specific date. Allow yourself to enjoy every moment and let the Universe guide you to where you should be.
Staying positive doesn’t just apply when you’re writing down your manifestos; applies to everything! Positivity overcomes all the negative thoughts you may encounter along the way.
Whenever a negative thought hits your shoulder, call him and show him the door! Let it go and start fighting it with positive thoughts!
May you have a year full of positivity and successful manifestations!
