Q: Is it true that where I put my thoughts and attention will help me grow?

A: Depending on where you choose to put your energy, thoughts, and attention can certainly help you grow. For example, if you choose to live in fear rather than love and you focus on the fear, your likelihood of growth is diminished. What you want to choose to focus on is how you consciously put your attention on your thoughts, feelings, words, and actions toward what it is that you want to expand and grow stronger in your life. For example, if you want to expand your living in abundance, then your focus should be on expanding abundance in your life rather than coming from lack. This is a primary key foundation expansion and allowing your focus to manifest in your life. What you put your attention on grows stronger in your life. It’s very powerful.

Most of our lives we have been living in an external world that can get pulled into the stress of the day. Our energy then tends to get pulled toward that stress and we end up feeling depleted and our brain is hardwired to go to the negative. So when we focus on that, we end up in a vicious cycle of negative energy. Know, however, in any given moment, you have the power within to choose and shift any negative thoughts to positive expansive ones. It’s up to you to initiate the distinction of allowing yourself to get caught up in external circumstances, or choose to gather your energy, bring it back to your core original state. It then magnifies and you can choose the option that will give you the power to make a decision from a place of groundedness and centeredness to expand your growth. We often forget that we have the power to make wise choices based on our thoughts and the attention we give those thoughts. The key thing to remember is that where you put your thoughts and energy will lead to an exuberant expansion or a depletion of your precious energy.
