Pivot! Pivot! Pivot!

Pivot: to rotate, swivel, revolve, spin.

If you're like me then you are a fan of "Friends" - and if not, you will not get the "Pivot! Pivot! Pivot!" reference.  No worries, there's still something of value here for you. 

To pivot means to rotate, swivel, revolve or even spin.  What you are pivoting away from or toward is what we considering here.  As you know, I like to touch on the concept of thoughts creating things, or experiences in our lives.  Why?  Cuz that's the way it is.  

Kinda like, "What goes up, must come down" or "Where ever you go, there you are" or any other things we just accept.  Like gravity.  We don't really know the full reasons WHY gravity exists; and with the exception of a few highly evolved scientific minds, most of us cannot really explain gravity.  We just accept it, and move on. 

Well the "Law of Attraction" as some people call it, is very much like the Law of Gravity.  

It just is. 

So when you think of negative thoughts.  The kinds that just kinda creep up on on you.  The ones that are annoying as shit. And you wish you could just eliminate them all at once.  Like a fumigator ridding your attic of unwanted termites.  You wanna just do something that will get rid of negative thoughts forever, right?

Well, I'm here to tell ya ... that ain't gonna happen. 

Negative thoughts are just part of our balancing act of being human.  We are going to have negative thoughts. Most of them are a result of our past, and others are panic about the future.  Never are we typically having negative thoughts about what is happening RIGHT NOW.  

When negative thoughts show up, the best way to get out of that spiral that pulls you way down into a negative mindset, you PIVOT!

With the quickness, you meet that negative thought with a quick PIVOT toward a more positive thought, or even a good feeling.  Believe it or not, pivoting toward a good feeling, even if its a memory that gets you there, getting there will literally put a HALT on the next negative thought that was waiting to catch you slippin'.

Thoughts are like magnets.  Once you get on a rampage of thoughts, more and more and more of them show up to gather in your mind.  Do you ever have those moments when you are having a really good thought, and then another one like it shows up and you find yourself getting all excited just THINKING about something desirable?  

You may even be having one of those experiences now.  I know I am. 

On the flipside, you may have had moments when a negative thought pops in your head.  And literally, more and more of them start swarming into your mind, to the point where you damn near  have a meltdown. 

When that happens, just PIVOT! PIVOT! PIVOT! 

Pivot your way to a better feeling thought.  There's one in there.  Trust me. It may be hidden behind a bunch of other clutter in your mind; but its there.  Just do your best to find it; and then pause, breathe and pray.
