A Vampire In The House

Our subconscious does not know the difference between remembering, visualizing, affirming, observing, or daydreaming.
Look how our body reacts when nothing has happened;

You are in your home at night relaxing. You have just turned off the T.V. and you hear a sound in your house. At first you pass it off as nothing, but it’s dark and you just watched a stupid vampire movie. Of course you know it’s not a vampire, but what was that sound? The cats are all with you. What if vampires are real? That’s ridiculous.

You hear it again. You work yourself up. Now you’ve got your bat in hand and you venture through the house to the place you think the noise is coming from. Of course now, from all the movies you’ve watched, every cell in your body says “Don’t go! Don’t go! That’s how the stupid person in the movie always gets killed.” But you go. You notice how all the lights are off. You hear it again. Your body is now shaking. Tension builds in your stomach. Now you are actually nervous and very uncomfortable. You do what anyone would do in this situation: you call your friend.

“Ok, now stay on the line, I’m going up.” (Eye roll from your friend that you can not see), but to you it just feels better to know they are there. Oh no, you hear another sound so you whisper to your friend, “I’m serious, hang up and call the cops if I scream.” Poor friend on the other end, they were, just moments ago, happily sitting in a puffy chair reading a fantastic book. Now they hear the very real tension in your voice and they begin to get nervous. “What if it is real?” they think.

“Here I go,” you tell your friend, “hang on.” So with bat swinging, you jump into the room and quickly flip on the light. There it is: the window, open with this morning’s newspaper sprawled out blowing in the breeze making weird rippling sounds.

Now, if this was the daytime and you walked in and saw the newspaper, you would have picked it up and put it away without a care. But, at night, alone, not knowing what the sound was? This is our amazing mind at work. It’s so powerful it affects our entire body, and that of a friend who is not even in the room with you!

So, what is your mind thinking over and over again? Where are your thoughts? And how in the world is it affecting you physically?
If you are thinking something great all the time, wonderful. But what if it is sad, or angry or both? What if you are talking about and thinking about your last break up or divorce all the time? How terribly you were treated, how unfair? How do you think your body is responding?

You must keep in mind, just like the vampire in the house, it is not really there, and that is the same for your past or worry of the future. IT IS NOT THERE! If something does happen, then that is the time to deal with it.

Since the subconscious knows only now, it goes through all the negative emotions as if it is happening this very moment.
When we create old negative situations and new worries over and over again, how can you be happy now? We often wonder why we are not creating the “good stuff.” Now we know. It’s because we are not focused on the “good stuff.”
Constantly check in with yourself. “What am I thinking?”
Focus on the feelings and thoughts you do want in your world.
If you are tired of feeling a certain emotion only you can stop the cycle.
Only you.
Begin today.

powerful, beautiful and without regret"
