We are what we think about

Proverbs 23:7 states: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.
This is not your typical article about the Law of Attraction as this is about how the things that cause happiness or unhappiness, positive thoughts and results or negative thoughts and results affect our lives and who we are. Before you can apply the Law of Attraction you must break out of negative thought patterns.
This blog post is about mind-sets and how these mind-sets affect our way of living either positively or negatively.
According to the thefreedictionary.com a mind·set or mind-set is:
1. A fixed mental attitude or disposition that predetermines a person’s responses to and interpretations of situations.
2. An inclination or a habit.
If your mind is cluttered with unorganized thoughts it is likely that your living or personal work space is cluttered. If you visualize positive outcomes to situations then most likely you will enjoy the physical aspects of those outcomes.
If you have people in our life who are always complaining and arguing and bringing their negativity to you it is quite possible that their mind-set will affect yours. Although it may be difficult and something that you don’t want to do, it may be best to distance yourself from those people who bring you down, at least until such time that their attitudes have less or no affect on yours.
Life consists in what a man is thinking of all day. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
ANTs is an acronym that stands for Automatic Negative Thoughts. If my research is correct and feel free to let me know if it isn’t, the terminology was coined by stress researcher and Viennese physician Dr. Hans Selye.
A simple approach to break away from such thinking is as follows: First, NOTICE that you’re trapped in the vicious cycle of automatic negative thinking (ANTs). Then, decide to BREAK THE CYCLE by using a “thought stopping” statement Finally, find something to DO that takes your concentration, interest, and focus AWAY FROM those old negative, vicious-cycle thoughts. (Thanks to http://www.anxietynetwork.com/hstop.html)
Here are the tell-tale signs of ANTs:
Automatic
* You don’t decide to think them. They are like a habit so it may be hard to not think them.
Negative
* They make you feel bad about yourself. For example, “I’m useless”.
Believable
*They will seem true and you may accept them as facts. They are often biased and distorted by your mood.
It is important to catch these thoughts so that you may stop them:
Use your feelings as a cue.
If you ever notice a sudden downturn in your mood, try to identify the thought that caused it
Watch out for events that make you sad
If there is a particular event that often leaves you feeling low, ask yourself why. See if you can isolate any thoughts you had that made you feel bad.
If you would like to break away from self-defeating thinking and developing new ways of dealing with life and getting the things that you want you must realize the following:
The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind. -Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
So change your state of mind, that is your mind-set and you will change your life.

The Secret if you are not aware is a movie about the power of attraction. I am not referring here to attraction as the quality of arousing interest; being attractive or something that attracts you to someone or someone to you. Rather I am referring to attraction as the force by which one object attracts another. In other words, although we are much more than objects, it is the force that by what we can attain what we desire, starting with visualizing that desire and having it.
In the book The Aladdin Factor by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen they describe the process of getting whatever you want to out of life by asking including such things as personal happiness, creative fulfillment, professional success and even freedom from fear. The power of intention is simple: think about what you would like to manifest in your life…good health, loving relationships, as much money as you need or want, work that inspires you, peace on the earth, a healthy environment. All of these things are our birthright, and through the Law of Attraction we can bring them into our daily experience.
All of the things that we attain in life that are brought about by setting up a process of attracting them into your life. For some people it is easier to attract the things into their lives than it is for other people. I believe that the process is much more complicated than what films like The Secret seem to suggest; however, I do believe that there is a hidden truth to the concepts shown there. One of these in my opinion is that every desire that we do attain starts with visualization. That’s where Mind Movies come into the stage of being useful. Mind Movies are movies made to help you visualize the things that you desire so that you can harness the power of attraction. You can get six pre-made Mind Movies focusing on the subjects of health, spirituality, money, friends and family, attracting a woman, or attracting a man simply by going to Mind Movies and entering your email address.
