Don't negatively reflect; Positively expect!
In relationships, and in life, we often expect things to go wrong. Considering how much mind power we all have, why not use this power? Use your powers to positively reflect on future events, current relationships, plan for a positive experience, and then look forward to these joyous experiences.
While Life doesn't always go the way we plan, by positively expecting, rather than negatively expecting, we can create more joy, peace and love in our lives.
I expect to feel healthy, be in a constant state of peace and joy (mostly), have a wonderful and fulfilling relationship with my partner, my children, my friends, my clients, and particularly with myself.
Some people dread the future; their bills, conflicts, work or their activities. While you can't expect to create a magnificent life just with a positive expectaton, it certainly helps ! I know that when I was a professional singer, just having a great positive attitude about an upcoming gig was enough, so it seemed, to ensure its success! Nowadays, if I have media interviews for my book, I ALWAYS ensure my mind remains positive (leading up to the interview), and the experiences have always been fun.
And yes, The Universe loves to change our plans, but doesn't this make life exciting and unpredictable? If we choose to accept and be guided by the loving winds of the Universe, pushing us in the direction she feels best, we may experience less stress, and a more positive life.
Whatever happens, if we plan to make the most out of our experiences, we will inevitably experience an increased amount of joy, peace and love in our lives.
May your love (for life) deepen daily.
