You are the Captain of your Ship and the Master of your Soul

Louise Hay just shared three Heart Thoughts  with us from her book of the same name via her free newsletter. 

I'm passing them on to you because of their importance to your physical and mental well-being.

The heart is the centre of our universe - yours and mine - and the fact that it lies in the centre of your chest is no coincidence.

 It is the well-spring from which we seek succor in times of pain and stress. We need to become friends with who we really are inside there.

Leaving yourself open may make you feel too vulnerable but it is the only way to face what ails you, head on and deal with it.

I unwittingly left myself open after the final year of psychotherapy during my suicidal depression and it was one of my best friends who brought it to my attention.

 She was impressed and scared at the same time that I could walk around in public without a mask.

I cannot say that it is easy every day but that was eight years ago and I am learning more about me every day and making the changes that are essential to my growth and evolution. 

This is everyday spirituality and a powerful technique for your personal growth.

Deal with the hurt and pain created by your thoughts and beliefs learnt from others in childhood when you had no choice and knew no better. 

As adults you can choose who you want to be and the thoughts you want to keep in your heads. Your beliefs are up to you.

You are the captain of your ship and master of your soul!

I Am Free to Be Me

Don’t swallow your anger and have it settle in your body.

When you get upset, give yourself a physical release. 

There are several methods you can use to release these feelings in positive ways.

You can scream in the car with the windows closed. You can beat your bed or kick pillows. 

You can make noise and say all the things you want to say. You can scream into a pillow. 

You can run around a track, or play a game like tennis to release the energy.

Beat the bed or kick pillows at least once a week, whether you feel angry or not...just to release those physical tensions you store in your body! 

I Create Wonderful New Beliefs about Myself

These are some of the beliefs that can really help you in your life if you think or say them every day: 

I am always safe.

Everything I need to know is revealed to me.

Everything I need comes to me in the perfect time/space sequence.

Life is a joy and filled with love.

I prosper wherever I turn.

I am willing to change and to grow.

All is well in my world.  

It’s Only a Thought and a Thought Can Be Changed  

How many times have you refused to think a positive thought about yourself? 

Well, you can refuse to think negative thoughts about yourself, too. People say, “I can’t stop thinking a thought.” 

Yes, you can!  

You have to make up your mind that it’s what you’re going to do. You don’t have to fight your thoughts when you want to change things.  

When that negative voice comes up, you can say, “Thank you for sharing, and I’m choosing to do something else. 

I don’t want to buy into that anymore, I want to create another way of thinking.” 

Don’t fight your thoughts. Acknowledge them and go beyond them. 

Affirmation: I claim my power now. Life is always there for me.
