Look for the good stuff
I’ve heard it expressed in different ways: Beliefs create reality. What you think is what you get. Careful what you wish for; you’ll probably get it.
Psychologists call it selective perception. We see what we expect to see because that’s how our brains process the streams of data gushing through our life at any given moment.
The quality of our life comes down to how we focus our attention. Isn’t that an amazing idea?
Our happiness or sadness or fright is largely determined by how and upon what we focus our attention. Your brain is like an auto-focus camera that is constantly looking to bring you clarity, but it’s you who is holding and pointing the camera.
Using fear to sell victory-over-fear? Huh?
I love the law of attraction. It makes great sense. It makes great philosophy. It makes a great lifestyle.
But I have become increasingly dismayed at how marketers have been using it to sell their workshops and wares. For something as beautiful as the law of attraction and the whole idea that the universe and its Creator support us in whatever we want to do, the sales pitches that turn this magic into run-of-the-muck fear marketing make my flesh crawl.
I don’t really know what to do about this conflict. Sometimes I find myself not buying into a coaching program or consciousness product because I am offended by the marketing for it.
If the law of attraction is real, it says a lot about a wondrous universe. It says that anyone can learn how to think and grow rich. By rich I am not so much referring to cold cash as I am to living a richly fulfilling life. A rich life might include such things as plentiful laughter, the joys of awe and wonder, sensual bliss, intimate emotional connection with others, and spiritual inspiration.
Eat good brain food
Climbing back on my soapbox.
Do you respond with great vigor to counting calories and otherwise watching what you eat? Are you concerned that you or someone you love may be ingesting too much comfort food?
So what do you do for your mental diet?
“Diet and exercise” is a phrase commonly applied to maintaining great physical health. We know it’s important. We know that if we don’t do it, we’ll suffer the consequences in expanding waistlines, reduced energy, and serious health problems. We’ll see and feel the negative effects in a very tangible way. It’s just a matter of time—tick, tock, tick, tock.
What about brain food?
