On your next walk, think of your thoughts and emotions as little puffy clouds in the sky.  The vast open blueness of the sky is you, your essence, your True Self.  Endless.  As a thought or feeling comes up, put its name on a cloud and watch the cloud float away.  No judgments.  The thoughts and feelings aren’t good or bad.  They just are.  They’re not permanent.  They aren’t who you are.  You are the backdrop for them.  You aren’t connected to them.  It’s your choice to focus on them and make them grow into thunderclouds or to let them drift by or dissipate as the little puffy clouds they are.

Realizing that we are not our thoughts and emotions is very freeing.  We are free to choose.  Others don’t make us feel or do anything.  Consciously or subconsciously, we are always making choices about how to act or react.  Taking on that responsibility is very freeing.  We’re no longer a victim.  We are free to choose our own experiences of the world.

Create the life you want: Combine the law of attraction with mindfulness

The law of attraction suggests that our positive or negative thoughts bring about positive or negative experiences.  My latest book, The Mindful Guide to Law of Attraction, pairs that belief with the powerful practices of mindfulness. Through intentional breathing, writing, and engaging, you’ll hone a method for manifesting health, wealth, and love―the elements of happiness.

Let the law of attraction work for you by adopting its basic steps of identifying and visualizing the things you desire. Then use 45 practical meditation techniques included in the book to achieve awareness. By concentrating your positive energy on obtaining your wants, you’ll give yourself permission to receive them.

To your happiness!  ~Paige
