We humans are creatures of habit, you know? So often, our ways of thinking become a pattern that repeats again and again. We feel jealous when a friend gets a promotion; we feel hurt when someone says something unkind; we feel angry when the universe doesn’t deliver something we want on our timetable.
Our happiness is so often conditional. We are happy as long as we have… you fill in the blank: a great job, a wonderful relationship, lots of money.
But the point is to learn how to master your state of mind so that you are happy in any and all conditions. Really. Any and all conditions.
Sound like an impossible dream? Think again. Spiritual teachers Esther Hicks and Abraham say it all comes down to two words: the pivot.
Here’s how it works. The moment you feel your thoughts veering in the direction of jealousy or self-pity or anger or anything else unwanted, you immediately head the other way. You pivot in the direction of what you want in your life experience — what feels good.
And here’s the best part. Within seconds of pivoting, you actually will start to feel good. Really good. So much better than if you’d chosen your habitual ways of thinking, and wallowed in negative emotions instead.
It works. It really does.
Just pivot.
You’ll be amazed at where it takes you.
