The Road to Happiness: No Negative Thoughts

So I've been looking into manifesting and how the energy you give out into the world is the energy you get back and came across an article about a no complaining challenge. I thought, okay here we go. Another gimmicky challenge people will just fall head over heels in love with because all this good juju will happen if you just think happy thoughts. I forced myself to put the skeptical chick in the closet for now and give it a read. Oh boy did I read. Several days and many Google searching leading me to more reading I am here. Head over heels in love. There has always been a part of me that believed energy is all around us. Not just what powers our smart devices , but energy. The earth's energy, the energy from the trees as the move too and fro from the energy produced by the wind. I've always believed there also something else floating around with mother nature's energy. Ours. Those that are living and those that have pasted on. I don't believe it goes away. It is still out there somehow affecting someone down the line. Be it a bad choice your grandparents made decades ago that caused your mother to hold resentment towards certain folks, that in turn caused you to view those people in a negative light. That bad juju just keeps going. Negativity is powerful folks. But do you know what is more powerful. The good stuff. The good energy. Love. Joy. Understanding. Laughter. Smiles. The list goes on and on. The good stuff gives up hope. It can help us learn to accept ourselves and love our selves. It can teach our children to love one another and see each other as one collective energy is this massive universe.

Which is why I've decided to contribute to this good energy. Not only for me with the hopes of some of the good stuff coming back my way, but for the world. I want everyone to enjoy the good stuff. I want you to join me. However, instead of focusing on not complaining, I want to stop the negative thought that becomes a complaint first. Take some time to really stop the negativity before it even reaches your lips. So many talk about not saying anything negative. I think it needs to be bigger than that. I feel that you need to nip it in the bud. As soon as something negative of any nature comes to mind, you change it immediately. Don't even give it legs. You turn it right away and repeat that process as many times as needed. Don't feel bad if you miss a step. You just start right over with the next one. I can't tell you how well it will work. I am just starting this myself.

Keep checking back. Each other week I am going to update you on my road to happiness. We are going to add something new each month as well. If you decide to join and will be blogging about it, please let me know in the comments. I would love to hear about your journey.
