It has taken me a long to to realize that expecting the worst is like lighting the fuse on a stick of dynamite, then holding it and expecting every fiber of your body to hold on to the negative thoughts, a damaging explosion is inevitable. You can hope for a positive outcome while deep in your heart you are expecting the worst. Fear is the negative expectation and it can destroy the positive thoughts. We just need to change the thinking behind your expectations in your conscious and unconscious mind. I am aware of my negative thinking in the past, and what to close that door, lock it and throw away the key. We have many rooms in the our minds and we need to find the keys to all those rooms and open the ones that are positive and lock the ones that are negative. So from now on I am locking the negative and opening the positive! With every new day as I wake, I will try and remember that the negative rooms in my mind are locked and not to be opened! That I can make new rooms that are a positive and careing place that I want to be from now on!
