"The energy that you put out, comes back to you." - Eckhart Tolle
"What you put out into the world will always come back to you." - Dennis Lehane
"Be the energy you want to attract." - Unknown
For the last few months I've been trying to focus on having better, intentional thoughts. I've been praying more, devoting time to gratitude and to God. I have also been focusing on the belief that is described in the quotes above. It's kind of like karma but doesn't have that sting behind it. By no means have I been perfect with it either. Negativity and drama still creep in and pull at the back of my thoughts and sometimes I even find I've wasted an entire morning because of one bad thing. But, I always return to the sayings above and find myself much better off.
It's weird and awesome and exciting what's been happening since I started doing these things. I hope I don't come off as "hoaxy" or superficial as I share these things. It's all just about the power of intention.
One of the biggest transformations I've seen in myself is that I've been able to carry on a workout for more than 5 days. I've been focusing on how much I really really don't like working out. I'll swim, walk and ride a bike but I can't stick with a workout for longer than 5 days. I am happy to say I am on Day 27. I owe recognition for part of my success to my husband for encouraging me and pulling E off of my while I do squats, push ups and dance videos. I also owe part of it to myself of course. Do you know what I did to make it through? I said "I can do this." I said, "I want a beach body." I changed my thoughts. Instead of thinking negatively about how much I hate working out I told myself I can do it. And it feels great! Commitment is so rewarding!
The second thing I have to share, which prompted writing this blog is about something I've been thinking about for a few years: a handmade consignment shop. Where vendors can sell their handmade items. This is maybe a 10 year goal but when I started crocheting my cup cozies I started thinking that I'd love to sell them in stores or possibly a coffee shop somewhere. It just so happened last week I was contacted about selling my cup cozies in a store in Bay City, Michigan. I have been on cloud nine since then. It was one of those shout from the roof tops moment for me.
The realization "the energy that you put out, comes back to you," hits me like a ton of bricks when something I think or say actually happens. It's like the universe is rewarding me.
I am looking forward to continuing living and thinking intentionally. The future is a mystery and that mystery is exciting.
Keep Loving
