Just as you mind can be a battlefield; your mind can also be an amazing playground for creative and inspiring ideas. This means you have the awesome power to choose whether you want to thing about struggle, stress, lack and scarcity; or you want to think about wealth, happiness, success and prosperity. You do have the choice – your can choose a battlefield or a playground.
Think for a moment about the imagery around those two arenas. A battlefield, where war goes on; is dark, stark, and there is death in the air. The playground, on the other hand, denotes life, the laughter of children playing. There are bright colors and unlimited possibilities. Imagine those two images going on in the theater of your marvelous mind. This does not need to be a difficult choice, and yet about 95% of the population flood their minds with the battlefield scenes. Why does this happen?
One reason is that most people do not make the conscious choice to choose the playground imagery. Most people are prone towards thinking by default. Whatever dark, devastating thought falls into the mind, they just continue to ruminate on that thought. Rather than making the conscious choice to think about wealth, happiness, success and prosperity, they go to the default mode and think about stress and struggle, lack and scarcity.
Consciously think about a time in your life when you were very happy – filled with so much joy and happiness. Your walk was light and confident and you felt so great. Got it? Now freeze that moment in time. Bring to mind how you felt at that moment. This should bring an automatic smile to your face. How does that feel? Freeze this moment as well. You are going to bottle these two moments of high vibrational feeling. When you catch yourself stepping onto the battlefield of your mind, stop and cancel that thought. Replace it with one of your bottled high vibrational moments… and smile. You cannot smile and think a negative thought at the same time!
