How You Show Up is Directly Proportional To What You Focus On.

When You Focus On Something, It Manifest

I don’t know if this happens to you but every time I purchase a new outfit that I cherish deeply I start noticing it everywhere I go. The same applies to my desires. When I am constantly thinking of owning something somehow it’s the only thing I see. Crazy right? But what if I tell you we can all use this strategy to achieve/ attain our God-given dreams and desires buried inside the treasure of our hearts. What we focus on, and set our minds on will manifest sooner or later.

Taking Inventory of Your Thoughts

Your life is a direct representation of what’s going on inside you, your mind.  If your life is chaotic, it’s most likely that your thoughts have formed a heavy cloud of negative thoughts that are waiting to pour every time you face an obstacle in life. What are you constantly thinking about? Are you constantly worried about how your life will turn out, or if you will make it in the next month? ( I know, I am guilty of that most of the time).  Let’s reinvent our inner life (mind) to enjoy our outer life. We want good things in our life but we spend our days drowning in negative thoughts. Negative thoughts are the perfect ingredients for a sour life. Empty out the negative. I am here to encourage you to go back into the position of expectation, the stance of hope, and the constant visualization of your dreams and goals. Clear the storm of negative thoughts with the light of expectation and positivity.

Expectation Energizes

The way you show up for your dreams or in relationships when you are focusing on the negative is totally different from how you show up when you are filled with hope, expectation, and positivity. When you are clouded with negativity you tend to give half-baked effort, low energy, and zero drive. Positivity energizes you, you show up with more vitality and life. I don’t know about you but even if I am not to get the outcome I want, I wouldn’t trade going through the journey filled with energy and positivity because I will be in a joyous state instead of going through the journey run down. Life is too short to allow negativity to weigh you down. I would risk being called naive while living with a positive outlook on life than live weighed down by negative thoughts.

Practical Example Of  How Negativity Can Ruin Your Dreams

Relationships are one of the most beautiful gifts we have but alas they also require work! When you focus on all the negative things in a relationship how do you show up? Chances are you will have your guard up, zero energy to be intentional, and perhaps an exit plan in motion. Guess what that’s just setting yourself up for failure in that relationship. What happens if you choose to see the positive in your relationship, your partner’s strengths? Not only will you have the energy to show up but you will do so with a willing heart and a smile on your face. That doesn’t mean the work won’t be hard, it will but the way you are showing up is different and you will surely reap the fruits of a fulfilling relationship. The same applies to how you show up in every other area of your life, you either choose positivity or negativity.

How To Show Up With Expectation

Unfortunately, when you fall into the trap of constantly harboring negative emotions it becomes a habit. Your mind’s default setting is to go into a spiral of negative thoughts. Switching from focusing on the worst to expectation will require work. You need to break the cycle by constantly thinking about what you are thinking about (like Joyce Meyer says) At times I set reminders to take inventory of my thoughts. When you catch yourself focusing on the negative, actively plant seeds of positivity (it’s not easy because our minds tend to wander back to what’s familiar, in this case, the negative). Keep being intentional until positivity, expectation, and hope become the ‘familiar’.
