Week 3: Receiving Blessings from the Universe

I have to say that I have really enjoyed this month's challenge.  There are of course some keys to positive thinking, one of which is being fully aware of your thoughts and feelings at all times.  Negativity seems to be innate in the human psyche in that we tend to see the bad things in life, career, financial situation, health, etc.  Changing those thoughts into positive ones takes real dedication and awareness.  Something as simple and as fleeting as wishing you looked like him, or had her job can swing a negative thought toward your own appearance or career without you being aware.
While I may not be the most consistent when it comes to following the assignments I give myself, I am doing a very good job of becoming aware of my negative thoughts and turning them around by thinking about something just as positive in my life.  To date, the Universe has certainly given me some good rewards for my hard work.  I found a check that had been accidentally stashed away and I won a $1 off a lottery ticket.  While it may not amount to much, it is still money that I was previously unaware was waiting to come to me, and with my positive thinking I was able to allow it to come my way.  Positive thinking has allowed me to be more motivated in accomplish tasks around my house that I have in the past put off, and now because they are complete I get to enjoy them -but I won't chide myself for not completing them earlier, I'm just happy they are done and I have more time to spend with my family because of it.

If you decide to try positive thinking for a month, do not become discouraged if you don't win the lottery, or lose a ton of weight, or sudden get offered your dream job; it could be that there are obstacles unknown to you that need to be removed before your desires can truly become your own reality.  Take note of even the smallest positive changes in your life and stop long enough to be grateful for them.  There's truth in the saying "stop and smell the roses" sometimes it is the little things in life that can make the biggest positive changes.

Thank you!  Have a Blessed day!  May the Universe grant you your deepest wishes!
