Power Affirmations, Quantum Physics and the New Year

Often the new year inspires us to consider making changes in our lives. How can we make next year better than the last one? What can we do, in fact, to make this coming year the best year ever?

To begin, realize that you have everything you need to improve your life, regardless of the date. If this is the year you want to succeed financially, or the year you want to meet that special someone, or graduate from college or whatever is your desire, use power affirmations to help you achieve your goals. Affirmations are positive sayings that state you will have your desires, and they focus your energy on what you want. It's important to write the affirmations down.

"By December 2009 I will achieve financial independence" or "I will meet a new woman (or man) to love," or "I will complete all my classes and graduate from the university."

Power affirmations can help keep you focused as you take the necessary action. Once you've written the affirmations on paper and placed those pieces of paper around your house where you'll see them often, be sure to read the words with feeling each time you see them.

Next you need to take action!

Quantum physics shows us we get what we focus on, so you have to take action to focus more intently on achieving your goal. Put your energy into changing your financial situation - invest in that new opportunity, for example - join an online dating service or a local singles group, make sure you are prepared for all your exams and turn in all your papers so you'll be able to graduate.

Although New Years is a great time to choose change and success, if you don't have everything lined up perfectly by the first of the year, don't worry. You can choose any day, any time, to make changes. You can decide, "When I get up off this couch I am going to be different," and it will work, just as well as if it were still New Year's Day.

Quantum Healing and Winter Holidays

I read something yesterday that referred to winter holidays as the time to be nice, kind and exhibit good will toward others. What's up with the idea that being nice, polite and generous has anything to do with the calendar?

Quantum physics teaches us that time is merely a useful human convention. It's not relevant to subatomic entities, trees, animals or any other aspects of nature. Why does anyone think being kind is seasonal?

Don't you want to be nice all year?

Quantum healing includes healing the mind and soul, not just the body, and one healing idea is to notice how you treat other people and how you treat yourself - at all times of year - not just during the winter holidays. We're not talking about perfection here, though, as everyone has a bad moment or a bad day.

Many of us are genuinely kind to others and not so nice or forgiving to ourselves. If this rings true for you, remember you are part of humanity! If you are having a bad day, let yourself off the hook and show some kindness to yourself - if that's difficult or new to you, try pretending you are thinking about a friend and behave toward yourself the way you would toward her.

Inspirational Thought and Healing Affirmations for the Holidays

While the holidays are exciting and joyful for many, for some of us they can be depressing, especially if someone we love is no longer here. Some ideas to help you follow.

Remind yourself that you'll get through this period and be okay once the season has passed. Make the holidays as cozy and nice for yourself as you can. Even if you are alone plan and do enjoyable events. Wrap up in a blanket and watch old movies. Listen to music. Light candles. You can also surround yourself with ideas that uplift you - start by finding messages that resonate by looking through old magazines or books. Cut out words from the magazines and copy them from the books. Paste or tape them to colored paper. Put the inspirational sayings in strategic places in your home - on the refrigerator, on the mirror by the front door or on the one in the bathroom. When you see each message, stop and read it as if seeing it for the first time. Let yourself feel what the words mean.

Healing affirmations work differently in that they don't rely on messages you see, they are messages you say to yourself and they also inspire you. It's good to keep your favorite affirmations written down so you can refer to them. Remember to use the present participle tense, words ending with an "ing" so your subconscious mind knows this is a quality you want to increase, as in the affirmation "I am becoming more content and peaceful through the holidays." Using "ing" here lets your subconscious know that you want to feel better during the holiday season.

Above all stay positive through the holidays and remember they represent a relatively short period of time. Decide that next year things will be better.

Create Your Reality with a Light Touch

One important aspect of using secrets of quantum physics to manifest what you want is that, while you absolutely need to focus on your desire, you don't want to hold it too tightly. Remember our reality is like a mirage - some people use the word "illusion" but I prefer mirage, like an oasis in the desert. A mirage is a trick of light, it's ethereal, magical.

The idea is to make your desire equally light so it can exist in this mirage. If you put too much weight on it - by making it mean too much to you for example - it won't fit into the mirage that is your reality. It will fall right through if it's too heavy.

Focus on what you want, visualize it, hold it lightly, trust that it will be yours, and keep it light!

Understanding Quantum Physics and Healing

What we see with quantum physics is that you get what you focus on, what you choose. When something is out of kilter with your body and you need to take some kind of medication, whether it's allopathic (regular prescriptions or over the counter) or some alternative like homeopathic medicine, you can decide what your results will be - even if the results are not listed on the label!

It's you who will decide that the medicine will work - or that it won't work, depending on what's in your subconscious mind.

Before you take any medication, then, think about how much you want to be healed of your malady. Decide that this medication is exactly what you need, and remind yourself each time you take it that it's going to solve whatever health problem you have.

It's your reality and your choice to allow this medication to cure you that will allow it to work. Always remember that the decision is up to you alone, regardless of what you're told, what the statistics say or what anyone else's experience is.

It's your choice.

Hope and Quantum Physics – the Perfect Gift

What better gift can you give someone than the gift of hope? At this time of global economic upheaval, we need to stay positive. It's not about just saying the words - at the subatomic level, whatever we focus on is what we create, so therefore it is imperative that we genuinely hold onto positive thoughts and feelings, and that we hope for a great outcome. Hope is that blending of optimism, trust and expectation that generates its own energy. No matter how bleak things may look at the moment, remember that everything can change in a flash - quantum physics shows us that change happens in an instant - so we need to trust all will be well and to expect it.

It's also important to keep beauty in your life, even if you have to cut back to the bare essentials. Find some way to provide something non-essential - flowers or even something you make. Surround yourself with messages that you are deserving of nice things and that the future is bright. Those are the messages you want to give your subconscious mind, especially when times are tight, because what's in your subconscious mind is what will manifest in your life.

Improve Self Esteem

(by request)

Self esteem is about love - love you have for yourself, based on your deeds and accomplishments. If your self esteem needs a boost, you might want to make a list of what you have achieved in your life. Don't think about times when you've failed - failures only mean you didn't succeed at some particular task ... they don't mean you ARE a failure. Focus instead on those areas where you have completed tasks, where you were able to pull it off, when you did what you wanted to do.

Although you might be at a low point today, you have succeeded at something before. Start with the basics. Did you make your bed this morning? Put that down. Have you ever taken any classes, or graduated from school? Put that down. Have you ever learned how to make a decent cup of coffee or boil an egg? Do you smile at strangers? Are you kind to animals?

If you feel you are starting from scratch, recognize it's probably not entirely true. Feelings are not the same as facts. Stick to the facts and list everything you can think of, everything you've done recently or a while ago. Write as many tasks and undertakings you can think of. When you've finished writing read the list aloud to yourself. If you're still having trouble appreciating your own successes, pretend you are thinking about someone else - instead of saying I did this, say "he" or "she." Read the list, recognize you have value and own it!
