YOUR INTERNAL WILL DICTATE YOUR EXTERNAL!!!

What are your internal thoughts??? My mentor NIURKA asks the following question all the time: "If you gave me recording of your internal thoughts, what would I hear?" Think about that.... Choose one dominant thought right now that loops in your head on a continual basis. Do you have it? Ok... Now - how has that manifested in your life? Are you in fear of finances or scarcity? If you answer yes - then take a look at the finances in your life. Do they reflect your internal dialogue?

You see - everything we think about will come to fruition. Our minds have that much power. It has to do with something called the Reticular Activation System. Our RAS dictates what we notice around us based on what our internal dialogue is. An example: Have you ever been in the market for a car and all of a sudden you see that car on the street everywhere? Those cars have always been there - but now you are tuned into it and you can actually see what your mind is thinking.

You have the power to bring into your life all the abundance and love and joy and passion and and and... into your life. It all starts with your internal dialogue.

Here are some tools to start changing your thoughts which will in turn change your life.

1) Gratitude lists. Most nights I write a gratitude list of 33 things that I love or feel completely blessed about in my life. By going to sleep with these things on the forefront of my mind - subconsciously - they are embedded into my thinking and feeling for the next day. I find myself waking up feeling peaceful. That is unless I miss the alarm and have to rush off to my first appointment :)

2) Calling the people I love in my life just to see how THEY are doing. There is no other reason for the call. It is a way for me to get out of my own head and be of service unconditionally to another person.

3) Exercise and Food. I find when I move my body in a way that feels right for me - I appreciate all it can do. It used to be about losing weight - vanity - ego... Today it is about what feels right - what gives me vitality - how to stay healthy and vibrant. What kind of exercise do you LIKE to do? If you feel you are engaging in exercise that isn't mentally and spiritually empowering STOP immediately. Explore what works for you. Your body will reflect the thoughts you have while working out. If you are in a place of have to's and should's - your body will be in a disempowered state. If you come from a place of I am excited or this feels good - your body will reflect that. I have experienced that and it amazes me on a daily basis. I used to go to the gym for hours and starve myself with every diet there was. Yes - I would lose weight but it was all fear based. Fear of not losing enough or fear of gaining it all back. I swear to you - today I work out less and eat more - but because my INTERNAL THOUGHTS are embedded in love and faith - my body has regulated itself and reflects exactly what I think about it. It never fails me.

4) Cleaning out clutter in your life. My dear friend Lili Petit from Clutterhealing.com has taught me that giving up material things in your life is freeing and allows you to be present for the gifts life has to offer. Having old clothes or products in your house energetically keeps you in the past. GET RID OF IT. DONATE THEM. Just get present so you can see TODAY'S GIFTS all around you. Your RAS will guide you to an abundance of really cool things.

So this is just the tip of the iceberg of things you can do to start living your best life.
