MONTHLY MESSAGE from TRACY, KATE & MEG

July/August 2010 Message - The Power of Thoughts

We can choose to live in a dungeon of limitations or a palace of possibilities. ~Louise Hay

Louise Hay started a self-help revolution in 1984 when at the age of 58 she founded Hay House Publishing. Today at 83, she is shattering our images about women, health and aging as she travels the world encouraging people to understand that they are creative agents in their own lives. Louis credits her health and success to learning at mid-life about the power our thoughts have on our health and well-being. After healing from cancer she started her teaching career with her New York Times Bestseller, You Can Heal Your Life, and has become a globally recognized guru of positive affirmations.

In our work at the SEND Institute we share Louise’s view that each of us is the author of our own life story. We encourage our students to understand that the thoughts they habitually think drive their choices as they walk the journey of life. However, most people aren’t even aware of their internal self talk and the way it influences their feelings and experiences from moment–to-moment. The first step in making some positive changes is to tune into your own self-dialogue and notice your habitual stream of thought.

We all know what it feels like to be caught in thoughts that are dungeons of limitations. If  your thoughts are streaming fears of failure, negative expectations about the future, worries about what other people think about you, jealous or resentful comparisons to others, or feelings of low self-esteem, it will be very difficult to create the life you imagine for yourself.

On the other hand, with practice you can choose more positive thoughts and respond to the possibilities present in any situation. Try statements like these: I am strong, capable and can handle my life; My body grows healthier each day; I give and receive love from people I care about; My income is constantly increasing; I am supported by life and all that it brings.  We promise that if you begin to speak to yourself and about yourself in the language of positive affirmations your life will begin to change.

We wish you a life that is truly a palace of possibilities. Write some affirmations that make you feel empowered and say them again and again for 30 days. We know that if you use the energy of positive affirmations you will create the life you imagine.

Blessings from the Sisters,
Tracy, Kate and Meg
