Way Over The Rainbow

DEALING WITH THE PAST
It is important to remember that every single situation has brought you to where you are at this moment. Although heartbreaks, financial hardships and loss of jobs can seem like disasters, they can be blessings in disguise. Rather than think, "Wow! I was such a loser because I couldn't keep a job," focus on something good that came out of the experience. Perhaps losing a job ...pushed you into learning a more interesting trade or perhaps you met a special person in a new workplace. By shifting your thoughts and feelings, you are on your way to attracting positive people, situations and experiences into your life.

How to Recreate the Past

1. When a Negative Memory Creeps Up, Change It

Daydream about how you would have liked the event to unfold while keeping in mind that you cannot change another person. Focus on feeling excited or happy, rather than on being upset about something that happened. Imagine feeling relieved that you did not get that job because it really wasn't right for you. Believe that breaking up with your ex was the right thing to do for the well being of you both.

2. Change the Beliefs You Created From Past Events

Do you believe that love is hard? Do you believe you will always have financial difficulty? Change these beliefs. Visualize yourself laughing at those beliefs. Isn't it silly to think that the Universe doesn't want you to have success like other people? Isn't it hilarious that we gave so much power over to another person or situation that it altered our thoughts? Embrace the belief that you have the power to change it all for your highest good.

3. Find the Lessons in Your Experiences

What did you learn from negative experiences? What did you gain? Remember to focus on the positive. Do not think about how you spent two weeks on the couch eating cookie dough because some guy didn't want you. Instead, relax into the mental state where you had those "aha" moments. By focusing on the lessons, you'll be attracting more "Ah Ha" Moments about the past and your current situations. This place of clarity and acceptance will bring peace to your life.
