Hello again to all my dear friends…….

Today I want to talk about focus because we are so often told to “think positive” and then experience feelings of disappointment when it doesn’t work! I’m going to explain why it doesn’t always work for us.

Often when we think positively, the picture we have in our mind is the exact opposite of what we want and the way we say it sabotages our results. For example, “I want that job I applied for” First of all, when we say “I want”, it leaves us with a feeling of “wanting”. We might then have a picture of the other jobs we applied for and weren’t successful. The correct way to say it is “I have my dream job”, picture yourself in those surroundings, hear the buzz of all the conversations in the office, picture your new boss giving you work instructions and receiving your new payslip with the company logo. Repeat this several times during the day, concentrating on the same pictures, sounds and feelings (refer to my blog on Affirmations) and act as if it is already your reality!

Remember, we are all made of energy and connected to each other and the universe. When we focus on what we want in the correct way, the universe literally aligns itself to give us what we are focusing on! The reverse is also true. If we focus on negativity and feelings of self doubt or even feeling sick, the universe responds and give us exactly what we are focusing on…. It’s very important to be aware of what our focus is and to adjust it accordingly when it doesn’t serve us.

Makes you think, doesn’t it?

Until next time……….

Love and hugs,

Hello dear friends,

I was driving home after picking up my son Jordan from school yesterday and this song came on the radio. We turned the volume up high and sang along at the top of our voices – we were so caught up with the up-beat music and the lyrics that being in tune was the furthest thing from our minds!! I think the words are stunning, and so appropriate and in line with how we should see ourselves, and I felt compelled to share it with you. I have edited it slightly so you can read it as a lesson rather than a song…..

Firework by Katy Perry

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting throught the wind
Wanting to start again
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in,

Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under and screaming
But no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that there’s still a chance for you
Because there’s a spark in you
You’ve just got to ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Because you’re a firework
Come on show them what you’re worth
Make them go “Oh, oh, oh!”
As you shoot across the sky,
Come on let your colors burst
Even brighter than the moon.

You don’t have to feel like a waste of space
You’re original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you’re the reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road

Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it’s time, you’ll know
You’ve just got to ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

You’re a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make them go “Oh, oh, oh!”
You’re going leave them all in awe

It’s always been inside of you,
And now it’s time to let it through…..

Makes you think, doesn’t it?

Until next time………..

Love and hugs,

Your friend, Doris
