THE POWER OF YOUR THOUGHTS

I’m sipping on my tea, the hour is late and the rain is pouring down from the sky.. Summer days filled with late nights, laughter and wine turned into rainy days, chill music and cups of tea.. autumn has arrived.

Do we know the power of our thoughts? If so, why are we paying attention to thoughts based on fear instead of thoughts filled with optimism, passion and positivity. How many times haven’t you been thinking what if this happens I’m guilty of this in many cases.. What if someone told you that all the thoughts you had positive and negative turned into a reality, Would you ever think a negative thought? 

Always think about what you really want, not what you don’t want, because like attracts like according to your dominant vibrations. If you want to know whether they are positive or negative changes, look in to the depths of your mind and be aware of what you think about most. The universe does not recognize negative and positive. It only recognizes energy

How many times haven't you heard, someone expressing " I was afraid of this happening and it happened.. "then we have heard someone expressing "This is what I wanted to happen and it happened" What is the difference? One of them was only thinking about what they wanted and the other one was thinking of what they didn't want to happen. Both of their thoughts turned into reality.

Let me use some of my personal experiences to show the power of our thoughts in both good and bad ways.

The year was 2016, I had just finished high school and I had applied to universities across Sweden. The first round came to give you a prediction if you would get accepted or not... I was on place 48 amongst the reserves.. People around me started to doubt me, will you really study at university this semester? You're on the 48th place amongst the reserves. You know that it doesn't look bright for you. Do you think I cared about my place on the reserve list or what they said? The answer is no, because in my head the outcome was only one thing: I will study at university when summer turns into autumn. What was the outcome? I got accepted by Mid university in Sundsvall to study journalism. I chose to believe that my optimism and manifestation turned my thoughts into a reality, the situation didn't look good but I didn't allow one negative or fear-based thought enter my mind.

Another example was when I had been celebrating new years eve at a friends place back in 2017 and was laying down in bed, tired and drunk and thinking to myself.. 2018 is gonna be my year, the year I start to actually have a life and not just live one. 2018 became the best year of my life, my Spanish flatmate at the time asked me if I wanted to join the party with international people, I had one bottle of wine left since I was drinking wine the night before with a few classmates. I was thinking to myself "Normally I would have said no, because of laziness and just stayed in my room playing FIFA... But this was one of those moments where you either change your life or stay the same as in the past" I answered her with WHY NOT... One of the best answers in my whole life. I have never been happier or enjoy life in the same way before that.

The previous examples have only been good ones but of course, I have had negative thoughts that turned into a reality. It was 2019, A few weeks before graduating from university, I arrived home early from a preparty, my head was all over the place. I was texting my girlfriend and I was just venting about my fears for the future. I didn't want to talk in-depth about it, I didn't want to deal with reality.. I would have opened a bottle of wine and been drinking nonstop for the rest of the night.. But I knew it was wrong so I sat down in my bed in an almost empty apartment, with just a bed and a microwave, the rest was gone. I played music and of course like many times before, I played Runaway with Ziggy Alberts.. I could feel the tears coming down when my phone was ringing it was my girlfriend but I didn't answer, she called again and this time I answered.. She asked me if everything was alright, with tears in my voice I said that I'M FINE... But she saw on my face that I wasn't fine.. Tears were pouring down my cheeks and they kept on coming.. She asked again, how are you? and please don't lie to me.. I was thinking for a few seconds, then I let it all out.. I expressed my fear for the future, fears with finding a job? I continue with telling her that i didn't want to go back to my parent's place again because I always end up in depression... I was talking and talking and expressing my fears and she listened and gave me exactly what I needed at that point, someone who listens, understanding, comfort and love. Unfortunately, all of my fears turned into reality.. I didn't get a job... I went into depression and life was a complete mess for the rest of 2019 up to the summer of 2020.

All of these experiences taught me a lot about myself but more importantly the power of our thoughts. We can create our reality with our thoughts. If we truly want something in our lives, then we should only think about it and not what we don't want to enter our lives. Thoughts are energies, both the positive and negative thoughts are energies. They contain different energy levels but the universe doesn't separate positive and negative thoughts, they see it just as thoughts. So look within your mind, what am I really thinking about? is it something I want to enter my life or not? Remember: Like attracts like. What you want, wants you.

My tea is cold, my candlelight has burned out and the only light left is the light from my computer screen. I'm starting to enter my thoughts again, when I remind myself, that I should never think a fear-based thought again. I will only think about something that I want to enter my life and no matter the circumstance should I give up on that thought. Because I learned that the power of my thoughts is extremely powerful.. The power of our thoughts is extremely powerful.. Never forget that.
