selecting Empowerment And Positivity - Feeding The Good Wolf

Choosing empowerment and positivity, or negativity and unhappiness, is a decision that you're development every day, either you realize it or not.

Native American culture tells the story of a man who explains his own constant struggle in the middle of positive, empowering, creative impulses and negative and self-destructive ones by telling his son that he has two wolves fighting in his heart -- a good wolf and a bad one. The boy asks him which of the two will win the battle. The father replies, "Whichever one I feed."

It's very true. The feelings that we sustain and return to, time after time, are the ones which come to dominate our thoughts and actions, while the ones we turn away from fade away.

The exciting thing is, we have a choice. Although the two wolves both exist, we can select which one of them we want to feed. That means, we select which one will win.

You probably know population who feel sorry for themselves, who belittle others, who seem to get some kind of delight out of feeling miserable, who portray themselves as victims and reject the affections of whatever who doesn't offer constant sympathy. Often it seems to every person but themselves that they undoubtedly have a whole lot going for them, but they're apt to be defensive if whatever should ever dare to point that out!

That's a classic example of what happens when you feed the bad wolf. You don't satisfy an appetite for any kind of feeling when you feed it - you only make it stronger. If you indulge negative feelings about yourself or other people, you strengthen them until they're very hard undoubtedly to break away from.

The other side of the coin's what happens when you feed the Good wolf. If you know population who always seem to get a real kick out of life, who laugh a lot, have lots of friends and interests, and light up the room with power and sparkle, who supervene in all things they turn their hand to and who always seem to have a lot of fun, you don't need ask which wolf they're feeding.

So, how do you feed the good wolf, then?

You give it what it most enjoys.

It has the most enormous appetite for feeling good, for having a definite self-image and strong self-esteem, for kindness, understanding, definite attitudes and salutary laughter. It feeds on self-respect, and tolerance for other people. It thrives on learning skills for the achievement of a purpose, and it loves the delight of attaining worthwhile goals. It laps up happiness.

Above all, it relishes enjoying life and sharing joy with others.

When was the last time you wanted to laugh aloud, or sing, or dance, or turn a somersault, just from the sheer delight of being alive? That state of mind's the one that feeds the good wolf best of all.

If your good wolf's been going hungry, here's how you can furnish it with an instant banquet.

Sit back and relax, and clear your mind of everything. Just let your thoughts all drift away, and feel yourself becoming warm and comfortable. Let your mouth relax into a smile.

Now, think of something that makes you feel exhilarated. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's something that makes you light up as though somebody had pressed a switch. This isn't the moment for something comforting and soothing - this is about the sort of joy that makes you want to shout out from the rooftops that life's wonderful.

If that's not the way you feel right now, then think of of whatever that's ever made you feel delight and wonder. If you can't immediately remember whatever that's made you feel that way, imagine what it would feel like to be totally spontaneous and carefree.

Now, focus on that feeling, and palpate it as strongly as you can. Revel in it... Relish every detail. Your subconscious mind can't tell the contrast in the middle of what's undoubtedly happening and what you only feel is happening, so consolidate on that great feeling till it becomes fully real for you.

Do this for at least 10-15 minutes, and make yourself a promise that you'll do it regularly. That way you'll give yourself a surge of power that will advantage yourself, your work and all you come in palpate with.

Remember that you will get what you focus on, either it's definite or negative. What's more, you won't just get it, you'll become it... An upbeat, enthusiastic, sparkling and happy person, or a miserable and self-destructive loser.

The choice is yours. Your mind will give you all things you ask of it -- and it will give you it in quantities you haven't dreamed of yet.

Make sure you feed the Good wolf... Because the wolf that wins the battle is the one you feed.
