Whatever you’re feeling is going to influence how your day turns out. Feelings are not thoughts. They’re emotions. But they have a direct influence on your thoughts because when you feel sad, you start to think in a depressing manner.

Your actions also reflect a sadness – and those results determine how your interaction with others ends up each day. You have to learn how to stay tuned into your feelings so that you can manipulate them into something positive.

This, in turn will create positive thoughts for you and positive actions that help you get the life you want. Whenever you start to feel something negative, like anxiety for example, focus on feeling calm instead.

Choose the opposite emotion. You might not recognize what you’re feeling until it’s already turned into an actual thought. For example, you might feel anxious and realize it once you start thinking about how worried you are about not being able to pay your bills. You start feeling and thinking about how hopeless it all is.

So when this happens, stop yourself and realize the reality of the situation – this is just what’s currently happening, and it does not define your life as a whole. Your future can be abundant in wealth and happiness.

Some people wonder how it’s possible to just turn your emotions. Every person is different. Some are able to say, “You know what? So I stubbed my toe and it made me angry. I am now happy and will let that go so that I have a better day.”

Others have to get past it in a different way, such as implementing a form of relaxation therapy – meditation, yoga, or self hypnosis for example. You have to find what works for you.

Commit yourself to feeling the way you want to feel. If you say you’re going to be happy or relaxed, then you can be. Instantly. If you’re hanging onto the opposite feeling of anxiety or anger, then that’s happening because you’re not ready to let go.

This is all under your control – no one else’s.

When it comes to using the Law of Attraction to “get things,” like a new home, for example, you need to wake up each day living life as if you already have that new home.

Instead of waking up and looking around the room, dwelling on how much you can’t stand the texture of the walls or how cramped it is, get out of bed each morning with a smile, and be happy as if that larger, perfect home is already yours.

This type of positive mindset will get you one step closer to achieving that goal. It’s what will drive you each day whenever you work hard to afford the new mortgage on that bigger, better house that you’re going to manifest.

Sometimes you have to employ the use of positive affirmations. These are phrases or sentences that foster an encouraging and upbeat mindset to help you start your day, end your day or get through your day without being sidetracked by obstacles that hinder your progress.

You don’t want to use the word “will” when writing your positive affirmations down. Don’t say, “I will have a new career.” Instead, use a phrase like this, “I am career-drive and pursuing the job of my dreams.”

That simple sentence makes a firm statement about what IS happening, not what might or someday happen. It affirms that today, you will be taking action to get a better career. It will make you take action.
