I am pretty good at noticing my thoughts and whether I am channeling positive or negative energy toward whatever I’m focused on. I’m also pretty good at trying my best and giving whatever I’m doing my all. What I’m not so good at is staying relaxed and joyful as I push toward my goals. I know I have this backwards – that the key to tapping into our power to create whatever we want in our lives is to do whatever we are doing with peace, ease and joy. I know that I’ve been erroneously trained to believe that hard work is the key to everything, and that this means I must diligently remind myself that the key to success is not trying harder, but feeling good about where I am now and infusing all I do with the power of positivity. If you’re like me, it can be scary to trust that there really is nothing more important than feeling good, but if you study the course of your experience, you will see that it’s when you’re easy and happy and enjoying your life that everything begins to flow.
