Creating possibility is about keeping oneself in the mental and emotional space where positive things continue to happen or show up in your life. Doing this type of work takes a great deal of effort in the beginning as we quickly resort back to old habits, to old ways of thinking about our self and life in general. Unless such an endeavor is made to be in the forefront it will soon fade and eventually disappear leaving us with how things always were. It is very easy for us to be negative and judgmental, this we have done for a long time, being judgmental of people, places and things, including our self. Recreating or reinventing our self to be able to generate a positive, healthy space or way of being is not only new but in some cases very foreign to us.
I have a tendency to slip back into my conversation of the past, one where I am in judgment, judging myself especially and conclude that nothing positive will happen to me, that I will not succeed in life, that nothing turns out good especially what I am doing at the moment. This conversation I am very familiar with, as it has been one that has played a major role in my life, especially at crucial points in my life. Taking on a new way of thinking, about myself and life, takes being committed, structure and discipline to being different.
One of the ways that I know I have instantly slipped back into my conversation from the past is that I feel bad, negative, whatever you want to call it. Staying aware or focused on my feelings is key here, a must if I am to transform myself and my life. How am I feeling now? Questions like this are very important to continue to ask myself and on a daily basis, even throughout the day. Once I discover that I am in a negative feeling space I must then recreate my possibility, give up the negative conversation and create a new one, one that is about possibility and being positive in life. It takes the willingness and effort to give up the negative and create the positive even when there is a pay off to be negative. Sometimes creating possibility is a moment to moment endeavor.
