Having a bad start to the day? Something happen that’s brought you down? Do you need an emotional boost?

Here’s a surefire way to get out of a mental/emotional rut.

Things happen to all of us all the time. On the whole, most of it’s in the neutral column between good and bad. Some things are incredibly great and make us jump for joy, while there are those few things that really tend to pull us down.

If you can’t avoid being pulled down and find your mood, your emotional state, is down in the dumps, pull yourself out as soon as you can. If you don’t, you may find you carry that mood with you for some time. Not only will it affect how your day goes, but it can affect others who you would not intentionally want to involve.

Moods are like viruses: they can be catchy if you’re not on your guard. Have you ever been around someone who was in an awful mood and, though it may or may not have influenced you, you’ve seen other people’s moods change as a result?

Yup. Virus.

Every teacher who can give you a fruitful idea, every book that can bring a real inspiration, every exercise of mental gymnastics that can strengthen the will, every ray of light that can give you clearer vision of true ideals, is of priceless value to you.

Affirmation, Belief, Habit, Subconscious

There’s a line in the movie Dragonfly: Belief gets you there.

Here’s another popular quote along the same line: Ability is what gives you the opportunity; belief is what gets you there.

Ability refers to your skills, things you’ve learned from school, college, your parents, your job, etc..

The sources for beliefs are a little more difficult to nail down.

Basically, beliefs are formed and developed from everything you’ve experienced and that has influenced you your entire life leading up to the point where you are right now.

Let me repeat and emphasize a couple things: everything and entire life.

Everything refers to all things you either consciously or subconsciously take in.

And it’s cumulative.

That’s the quiet within.

It’s that voice in your head that tells you wherever you are, “it seems too quiet in here!”

It’s the quiet you notice when the noise is missing.

Like when you first wake up in the morning. Before the kids stir. Before the dog’s breath is spraying on you. Before the sounds of the birds reach your ears. Even before your eyes are fully opened.

Cherish that quietness, that peacefulness, for every moment of your coming day. Carry that peacefulness close to you, and that peacefulness will carry you when it’s not so quiet.

We think we are too busy to get still, to become quiet and listen to peace. This is all a mistake. No one is too busy to be made whole.

— Ernest Holmes, The Philosophy of Jesus

Health, Law of Attraction, Law of Mind, Love, Mental Science, New Thought, Success

Hello and welcome…

First off, this blog is about new thought (mental science) or, more specifically, changing our thinking so that we can live more peacefully within ourselves and to manifest exactly the things we want out of life. The ultimate goal, of course, is to live the life according to how we choose and not what is thrust upon us.

Yes, this is about the Law of Attraction, self-healing, the Law of Mind, and everything that has to do with that wonderful tool inside our head. But it isn’t really just about mental science, per se; it’s about any practice that helps to bring one closer to enlightenment, that inner peace so many people work towards.

There’s a certain spark inside us. We felt it when we were children, but we didn’t know what it was at the time. It made us feel different. We looked at the world differently; we processed things differently. It was a confusing time.

Then, somewhere along the line as we got older (and wiser?), things started to click inside us. That “something different” inside us started to take form within, it started to make sense. It may still be confusing at times, but we look upon it as our companion, our guide, our mentor, our true selves.
