How to change your thinking

from Oracle April 2023

YOU’RE LOCAL, WE’RE LOCAL

Change is a necessity. It is important that we are able to change as life and situations alter by keeping up with technology and growth. However, the reality is as we settle into a job or relationship and build behavioural patterns that we are comfortable with.

The more comfortable we are with our lives, the more safe and secure we feel and become.

So that when a situation arises that warrants change we find ourselves in great difficulty accepting anything which is not like our comfortable pattern.

Believability and Resistance

If you believe change is bad for you, you will be resistant to it. For example, someone who has been working at the same job for ten years undertaking exactly the same work and process every day, is told that they must now follow a new procedure are unlikely to be happy about it.

What happens is, our subconscious will make us react to the fear of change, raising feelings of resentment, anger, abandonment towards the person or organisation making those changes. Resulting in changes of low mood, feeling unappreciated, anxiety and stress. Over time these negative feelings become patterns too and may result in depression or illness.

Your Mind is NOT in Control You Are!

We have incredible intelligent and powerful minds that constantly respond to our words and thoughts. The only thing we have control over is our current thoughts as old thoughts are in the past. You can stop thinking about your old thoughts by taking control of them.

Releasing old patterns

Changing and releasing old out of date patterns is healthy because it makes us more powerful and in control. By recognising and accepting your emotions toward change, this will help ease transitions and you will be less resistance. Affirmations for Change: I am willing to let go. I release and let go. I release all tension, all fear, all anger, all resentment and sadness. I let go of all limitations, I am at peace with myself and the process of life, I am safe. (Louise Hay)
