How can positivity change your life?
My wife is my guest writer. (This is a picture
of us from last night)When I read this, I asked her
to let me share it with my readers. We have a website
together, JadenandChristi.com, where she will be posting
life experiences hoping to help others.
This little message is going to start off not sounding the
most interesting in the world, but you need a little
background. Give it a minute.
I was not always the most positive person… my husband
and kids can vouch for that. I was a little on the depressed
side. Was a little withdrawn, shy, and had very little
confidence. A lot of my days were alright, boring just
another day. And that’s just how it was. My life in a
nutshell. That was Then!
Now my days are amazing!! Everyday!! And what started the
transformation was just finding out that if I change the
way I think about things and how I look at things, it would
change my life…
Yeah, you are a the fruit loop… some people would say.
I hear them now… “yeah just by changing the way I think,
I can change my life, Yeah right, that’s a bunch of junk.”
Well that’s what I used to think too. ‘Used to’ being the
keywords!
Coming from such a negative person that I was, I thought
it WAS a pile of crap. Till I decided what the heck have
I got to lose?? I couldn’t feel much worse or be any more
unhappy than I already was so why not at least give it a try.
That was day number one of turning my life into a wonderful
and amazing journey. I started reading all the positivity
books I could get my hands on. I also started watching dvd’s
and watching postive youtube videos. And it’s truly changed
my life!!
Positive energy is an amazing and wonderful thing! And I am
so thankful that I’ve learned how it all works and how to
use the positivity in me to make my life what I want it to be.
As we’ve grown up we’ve all heard phrases like… “Be careful
what you ask for you just might get it, You always reap what
you sow and If you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything
at all” and so many others.
Well, guess what? You don’t know just how right your parents
were when they told you these things. I don’t think they even
really knew just how right they were.
Just like the reap what you sow thing… what you put out
into the Universe… feelings and thoughts, is exactly what
you ARE going to get back! That is a definite!! Believe it or
not! Its a Universal Law of Attraction!!! It just Is!
Just something to think about. When you get up in the morning
and you start your day off. How do you feel? Do you jump up
ready to enjoy another new day curious to know what you might
see or might learn or what you might get to do, who you might
get to see. And be thankful for it??
Or do you fall out of bed, all draggy and sluggish, feeling
bad and worrying about what all you have to do. Worried about
if your gonna be late for work, and all kinds of other
“negative” thoughts going through your mind. Just to start your
day off in such a bad way.
Usually when it starts off that way it usually takes a while
to get it going in a half way good direction. But if you start
it off being thankful for another wonderful day, it opens the
door for all kinds of possibilities. In the very least, you
feel better, which is a dang good start if you ask me.
I’ve learned all this from experience. And I know my “one day
at a time” thing has turned into a wonderful life of wondering
what kind of great things are gonna happen today.
Starting off with feeling better physically, mentally and
Spiritually than I ever have in my entire life!! And I
know without a single doubt in my mind that I have an amazing
life. I wake up in a great mood everyday! I feel great, look
forward to my day and even when I go to work, it is so much
easier and smoother. My whole life is!!
Something to think about. When you get up everyday how are
you gonna look at your day… Are you in the mindset of
already hating your day and starting it off bad or its
gonna be a great day! “Hate it” or “it being great” the
choice is Always yours.
Just try focusing on what you do want and not what you
don’t want and see if things don’t start changing. They
have for me, my husband and my mother-in-law. Our lives
have all changed since we started focusing on the positive
and rejecting the negative. And it can for you too!
Much love and peace to you all!!

Hi Jaden and Christi
Live is amazing , but people like you to two make reading blogs like this not just amazing but if give hope and direction, I wish more people will see the light and know that they are responsible for every thing that happen to them.
So many people blame the wrong person 9 God or The Devil) for what happen to them.
What yuo think about you bring about that is not just Law but that is how we were created from the beginning.

Hi Jaden,
Thanks for sharing Christi’s inspirational post; it’s a wonderful message of change. Just goes to show that we can make change whenever we choose and create positive results when we set our mind to it. It’s great that Christi decided to change her live into “a wonderful and amazing journey” and was persistent in pursuing that vision.
Christi,
Wow, what an inspirational story. You are truly blessed and highly favored to have found the source of happiness and productivity. Thoughts are things and they become things. We always say, choose the good ones.
Congratulations!

Hi Christie,
Great story! and well told!
It really is a shame that we don’t take some of that great parental advice to heart. Like you I learned the lesson a little later. I wonder why it is that teenagers never believe their parents, or at least until they grow up themselves.
Good on you going to all the work of modifying your own behavior, your greatest work of art!
I know what you mean, Christi, when you point out that many people will ridicule the idea that being positive and changing your thinking will change your life. I’m glad you discovered that changing your thinking DOES change your life! I think some people just enjoy misery and don’t want to hear about a way out. I really do.
Christi,
That is awesome! It is so hard to go from negativity to positivity sometimes that the fact you did it one day at a time is a testament to your commitment to creating a better you.

Wonderful article Christi, and congratulations on finding such a positive way to live! I’m with you girl … I choose to be happy and to focus on the good stuff in life. I’m aware there’s plenty of bad stuff going on around me, but I don’t have to dwell on it. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hey Jaden and Christi,
I absolutely love reading articles like this, where people tell their stories of positive thinking and how it has changed their lives for the better.
I have gotten to know you Jaden over the last couple of months from reading your blog and our little chats, and now I have the pleasure of getting to know your wife Christi as well!
Together, you and Christi, with the knowledge and the personal experience of the true power that we all hold within ourselves you will be able to change lives for the better of all those who embrace the same concepts which you teach in your writing.
Thanks so much for sharing this message, I’m proud of you both.

Hi Jaden and Christi,
Thanks for the great life-changing article! I am so glad that your family has a new perspective and are sharing it with others. Life is too short for it not to be fun and growing.
I learned a lot on this subject while working with an author of spiritual books, and he says that there is nothing you cannot be, do, or have. And it all has to with what you are saying in your post…practicing a positive mindset! Whenever I speak with this author, it is like he is in another dimension, as he is a master spiritual thinker.
Sending very positive wonderful happy vibrations to you and your family!
Linda
