25/365 - attitude adjustment

Art journal page with a meditation from Louise Hay's book, Meditations to Heal Your Life.



This is the meditation:

Every moment is a new beginning point.

We do a lot of vacillating between old ideas and new ways of thinking. Be patient with yourself through this process. Beating yourself up only keeps you stuck. It's better to build yourself up instead. Anything you say or think is an affirmation. Really be aware of your thoughts and your words; you might discover that a lot of them are very negative. Many people tend to approach life through negative eyes. They take an ordinary situation like a rainy day and say something like , "Oh what a terrible day." It isn't a terrible day. It's a wet day. To create a wonderful day sometimes takes just a slight change in the way you look at it. Be willing to let go of an old, negative way that you look at something, and look at it in a new, positive way.
