Clear the mind
Accepting defeat gracefully
I've been sick with a nasty cold/sinus infection for the past 6 days. Today is the first day back to work since our Thanksgiving holiday began on Wednesday, Nov 22nd. I read an article one day that I was out (and actually felt like reading) that was about surrendering and "accepting defeat gracefully". I realized that there was so many things in my life that I have held on to that I should have just accepted defeat and moved on. Reflecting on that, I agreed to let them all go (although I've said that a hundred times) and realize that they are defeats...but it was in the past and I can move on without that burden. It feels great to say to myself that it's okay I messed up or whatever...but that doesn't change what I can do now.
When I first read about "the Secret" and "Law of Attraction" awhile back, I immediately made myself a poster of all the things I wanted in my life. I put the board up where I'd see it daily. Not convinced that things would come to me just for wanting them...I just looked at the board daily and thought "what can I do to make those things happen?" Within the first month the board was up, I got one of the things on it. Slowly, but surely, each thing is making its way into my life. After a few months with the board up, I realized that I had nothing on there about getting rid of my migraines and I was having them so frequently. So immediately I put a "NO MIGRAINES" note on the board. Reflecting on my board the other day, I realized that I've had very few to no migraines since then. I have had some headaches, but they are the "normal" ones that do not debilitate me. Thinking back on this...and many other things, I felt so grateful. It's not "magic"...it's simply the power of positive thinking and gratitude.
