Hey there.
I hope all of you had a fantastic Mother’s Day. I was thoroughly spoilt by my family and feel so grateful for having them in my life.
Today I am going to talk to you about the power of your words and thoughts.
I was reading a book by Louise Hay last night. It is called Life! Reflections on your journey and I am going to share some of her thoughts with you.
Louise Hay, as you may know, had a difficult childhood. She was diagnosed with cancer when she was older, but managed to heal herself through using unconventional methods.
Her other book, ‘Heal your body’, talks about repressed anger and its effect on you. She has given positive affirmations for a lot of different diseases in this book, which I plan to share with you in the coming weeks.
Going back to the first book, let’s have a look at some of the advice Louise gives to her readers.
‘Life! Reflections on your journey’ by Louise Hay
The first thing Louise talks about in this book is that ‘We get back what we give out‘.
She also says that we are responsible for the events happening in our life, be it positive or negative. I personally think that this statement would be a really difficult one to accept for most people. We never want anything bad or untoward to happen to ourselves, or our near and dear ones, right?
But, according to Louise Hay, we create our experiences based on the words we use and the thoughts we think.
She says that when you create peace and harmony in your mind and think positive thoughts, you attract positive experiences and like-minded people.
Similarly, when you get stuck in blaming and victim mentality, you get stuck in life and feel frustrated and unproductive, and attract similar kind of people to your life.
We are all guilty of using negative words and blaming others for the problems we are currently facing. Let’s face it, it is so much easier to put the blame on others, right? And I am sure that deep down every person knows who is actually responsible for the problem they are facing, but, it is no easy feat to accept it or own up to it.
Let’s see how Louise faces this problem and what her suggestions are. According to her, these are some of the basic principles one should apply in their day to day life:
- Change your thoughts consciously and you will be able to change your future. Instead of hating yourself or your body, she says, choose a new thought and say, ‘I am wonderful’.
- The present moment is very powerful, and choose the words wisely now and they will create your tomorrow. Louise suggests that you should choose your thoughts as if you were choosing a gift for your loved one, this way you empower your coming days. The real change is possible in the present moment.
- Release the past and Forgive everyone. Easier said than done, right. But, if you continue thinking about the people who created your problems, or were nasty towards you, you are giving those people more power. Take that power away from them by thinking about positive people and positive experiences of life. Letting go of the one’s who hurt you, helps you let go of the person who got hurt, which is you. Louise suggests that one should Free oneself from the pain and anger caused by others by forgiving their suffering and desperation, but not their act. This, she says, will help you move on with your life.
- Connect with your higher self and let go of the petty thoughts of revenge. This is self explanatory but I would like to say, Rise above the pettiness and reach your higher selfand don’t let them engage you in their charades and mind games.
- Love yourself : Learn to love yourself unconditionally. Steer clear from resentment, fear, guilt and criticism. Change your thinking pattern and get rid of the destructive thoughts of the past.
- Use every incident or experience to learn a valuable lesson in life. Learn from these lessons and make smarter choices of words and actions.
- Love your life and your self ? like she did.
Louise Hay has left a great message for all of us to apply in our lives.
Let’s make an effort from now on, to love ourselves for who we are and choose your words really carefully. If only everyone could see the outcome of their words and thoughts, displayed in a graph, then they would think twice before saying anything negative or derogatory.
