Stop Negative Thinking In the New Year

We are moving right along in 2019, letting go of the past, moving toward the present. The present is where you are right now. The present is guaranteed. It is the here and now.

The present is just that – a present. You are alive, and amongst the living, which is a present or a gift from the universe. You have not used up your Prana. Prana is the life force energy that flows through the body.

An old saying says that when you are born, at the time of your birth, you are given only so much breath (or Prana). You can use your breath up fast or slow. I equate that with the analogy of your car. You can use your gas up fast by speeding or you can preserve your gas by going the speed limit. It is a choice.

To rush, hurry, or scurry is indeed a choice. Running late indicates not giving enough time and attention to planning your day, or time. Stop and smell the coffee, tea, roses or anything. Our respiratory system can be out of balance (slow energy moving) or it can be open and receptive.

Another old saying is that when the nose can inhale fresh oxygen through both nostrils, then you are able to use both sides of your brain. A blocked left nostril prevents you from using your right brain effectively, and vice versa. When both nostrils aren’t working together, one or the other can cause you to not think to the fullest capacity thereby limiting your thoughts.

Negative thoughts can cause worry, stress, depression, anxiety, and fear. Negative thoughts cause a slow flow of energy through the systems. You are what you think you are.

2019 is a new year, and you can decide to be brand new. You can decide not to live this year the way you lived last year.

You can mentally decide to heal, to let go of stuff. If you have not already decided to become involved in positive activity, it’s not too late. You have much to choose from – yoga, meditation, dancing, laughing, cycling, Zumba, church, or anything that will change the breathe (Prana) in your body, can create a change in your brain that will allow you to change your thoughts and behavior, enabling you to have a healthy, happy, holy, and peaceful 2019.

Resolve to change for the better.

Happy New Year!
