Where focus goes, energy flows

Looking back at my life, I've put a lot a lot of pressure on myself. At least since my early 20's. It's not the kind of pressure that most people put on themselves though..I think. More of an expectation. I expect myself to be among the best, to get acknowledged for what I do and for people to look up to me. So it's more of a weird self-love and admiration that I don't really know how to explain, or if it's a good or bad thing, it just is.

All I know is that I put a lot of focus in to doing well, when it comes to my job, my body, my happiness, and the way I see myself. And, like the headline says; Where focus goes, energy flows. 

I get energized and satisfied by knowing that I actually AM the person that I expect myself to be.

This might sound like I'm just bragging about myself but that's not at all what I'm doing. I'm trying to explain the fact that we need to be such firm believers in who are, and how we want to be seen.

I am confident, and I'm not afraid to say that I am, but I am extremely humble, and according to me that's the best combination you can get. 

BUT, the important but here, is that these are MY thoughts. You need to make sure that the person you are, and how you are seen by others is the best combination you could possibly think of.

I love that I can tell the world that I'm super proud of who I am. I'm proud of the fact that I am a leo, the typical leader, that I'm an ENFP, that I work hard, that I make sure to get my workouts done at 5.30 am (which most people think is completely insane), that I communicate well now and speak up when I feel that something's not right, that I still meditate when I need to, that I can charm the hell out of most people when I need to, etc etc.

What are you proud of? Focus on that. If you put a lot of focus on what you don't like about yourself, the energy will flow there and it can be a dangerous negative energy..

Focus on the good.

Do good.

Because we all know that when we feel the positivity, more positive things happen, and we can ride that wave for a long long time.  

Focus on all the things that will make you happy, not the things that might put you down. The downward spiral of negative thinking is a dark black hole that no one should fall in to, and speaking from experience, it's very hard to climb up the walls. When you've done it though, you've grown mentally and you're so fucking strong that you won't allow yourself to ever fall in again..

Expect miracles

I'm feeling content. Right here, and right now. I'm at peace in this very moment.

I've struggled with negative thinking my entire life. Worrying. Stressing. Expecting things to go wrong. Up until I realized that it's the worst way possible to use the most powerful tool I have; my brain.

At this very moment, I'm wondering how the hell I could've ever used my mind to come up with the worst possible outcome in every situation. Why did I do it? To prepare my self so that I wouldn't get disappointed? What if the best possible outcome happens and I've expected the worst, would I still be able to be genuinely happy about the outcome or would half of it be relief that it didn't go straight to hell?

It's so simple. Really.

Look forward to tomorrow.
Love the walk to your job in the morning.
Breathe in the fresh air, and be grateful for it.
Give out hugs.
Smile.
Love.

Good things do happen.
Expect miracles. 

Because if you don't, you've lost the most important function in our brain; our imagination.
If you keep expecting the worst, you're waisting energy. Expect the best and feel the butterflies in your stomach instead.
Sure, if you expect the best and the worst happens, you'll be disappointed. But if you expect the worst and it happens, the disappointment lasts twice as long and you "suffer twice" as I've been writing about before.

Focus your energy on believing in life.

I know, I know, some of you will say I'm naive. I've heard that before, but at least I believe that life can and will be amazing, instead of thinking it will throw shit at me. Sure, I have my downfalls and I worry sometimes but I prefer believing in positivity and turning those thoughts around. You know..you can actually do that, because you own and master your mind.

I've believed in a life filled with joy, purpose and love since I was a little girl, why stop now?
