Our Thoughts Are Prayers

They sang this song at church this morning,

“Our Thoughts are prayers, and we are always praying,  Our Thoughts are prayers, listen to what you’re saying.  Seek a higher consciousness, a place of peacefulness, and know that God is always there, and every Thought becomes a prayer.”

The line that stuck out to me was “listen to what you’re saying.”  Awareness is key in my life to any positive change.  Many times I find myself running on automatic, and usually that means that I am running by old beliefs, old stories, old feelings or old experiences.  When I am in automatic my life repeats the cycles that I have already been through.  It’s the quote “Do what you have always been doing, and get what you have always gotten.”  The moment that I become aware of my thoughts is the moment that change can happen, I can do something different and in return set myself up to get what I really want.

May there be peace within.

Love,

Gina

Beliefs

My Universe reading from Mike Dooley’s book “Notes from the Universe” today was,

“Someone once said, ‘No pain, no gain.’ And so it became their reality.  Bummer, huh?” (p 126)

I love his choice of words, “bummer, huh?”  Because it is a bummer.  A lot of the beliefs that I have carried around with me do not serve me.  Some of the main ones I can think of are, “I am not good enough,” “Money is happiness,” and ”I am not meant to be thin.”  These beliefs have become my reality and it has taken a lot of work to change these stories into ones that serve me.  I am looking forward to the day when these beliefs are no longer my reality.

May there be peace within.

Love,

Gina

New World

Yesterday I was feeling like a deserved a  “treat” and food was the answer momentarily.  I was tired and had worked hard all day.  My husband took me to Subway for dinner on my work break and I grabbed for a bag of baked chips.  That was going to be my treat. 

Then I looked at the back at the ingredients.  The first thing that stood out was artificial yellow coloring.  After reading that I put the bag back down, realizing that in the world I am now living in, that is not a treat.  ”Artificial yellow coloring” was definitely not the treat I, my body or my spirit, was looking for.  I am living in a new world. 

Later at work I took a momentary break.  I sat in the conference room and took some deep breaths.  In my head I repeated “love” when I inhaled, and “trust” upon exhale.  That was the “treat” I was looking for.  A moment of breathing in love and letting out trust.  “Artifical yellow coloring” definitely wouldn’t have given me what I truly needed and that was to feel loved, and to let go of control.

May there be peace within.

Love,

Gina
