Positivity

It has been a mere 24 hours since I started listening to The Secret, and I feel fantastic. No, there hasn't been a dramatic change. It's just been an average day...woke up, ate breakfast, played with my dog, watched E! news, went to class, and played with my dog some more. It may sound like an uneventful day, but I have been having so much fun! Why? Cause under the surface I have been visualizing.

I have really witnessed how all this works, and how doubting really screws it up.
How it works:
A little after 10pm last night my sister Danielle, who was on her way to Vegas last I knew, sent me a text message telling me that they had just landed in Phoenix. Here's my thought process... I think that was a typo, terrorists, or the weather. Turns out I think of the reality last, but it had been too windy to land in Vegas. So I ask her when and how she will get to Vegas and she tells me they are saying three hours. Now I am new to this thinking positive thoughts business so I immediately thing "That sucks I feel so bad for her." Lucky her my negativity did not last long. I said to her "It won't take that long, just feel how you will excited you will feel when they tell you you can leave sooner. I'll think positive thoughts too." LIKE TEN MINUTES LATER she tells me they just told them they just need to gas up, set an agenda, and they can leave!! FREAKY!! She landed in Vegas at 12 something (sorry, I don't feel like looking at my phone for the accurate time...but it was 12 something a.k.a less than 3 hrs later.)

HERE'S WHERE I FAILED:
I shouldn't even be talking about this if I am trying to avoid negativity...but I feel I must give an example. Today I arrived at the good old KCC to go to my accounting class. We had a test last class, and my teachers grading is very subjective, so I never really know what to expect (yes, subjective grading of accounting..i don't get it either.) Anywho...as I am walking up the stairs I realize...DUH I need visualize getting the grade I want. I have not gotten a single A in that class, so I aim for a 90%. As I walk up the stairs I visualize him handing me a test with a 90% on it. I feel so proud of myself for finally getting an A on one of these tests. I sit down in class, and a negative though jumps in my brain. I think, "who am I kidding? There is no way I got an A." I then start to remember that one negative thought will start over the whole process so I try to visualize getting a 90% some more, but I just can't get the thought that I already ruined it out of my brain. I get the test back...72%...NOOOOOOO!

Did this discourage me? Yes, a little bit, but I listened to THE SECRET some more on the way home, and I got right back into that positive frame of mind. When I got home I even caught myself smiling while putting away the clean dishes from the dishwasher...a weird time to smile right? I have just been feeling so great, I am getting borderline crazy.

I have only showed this blog to my sister Danielle, because I have been worried about sounding stupid. So...it probably does sound stupid. I will now tweet the link and BELIEVE that the rest of it does not sound stupid...so it won't.
