ONE THOUGHT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE

3/1/2011

I just watched of the Louise Hay film, “You Can Heal Your Life” on Youtube, the third time. It is such an inspiring and uplifting film. In the film, Louise Hay explained if we want to heal our lives including physical illness, we have to know how to LOVE ourselves. I agree with her very much.

 Personally, I had an experience of healing myself through changing my thoughts. Five years ago, I was depressed after a relationship break up. The depression lasted for almost two years as I had a hard time letting go. The break up had such a strong impact for me, because I lacked experience. It taught me tremendous lessons about letting go and how to use positive thinking to change my life.

During that period of depression, I realized those negative emotions affected the function of my heart and lung. I was getting weak physically. At one point, I started having a difficult breathing and got tired very easily. As a dancer, I lost focus and stamina. I had trouble memorizing the choreography.

 I knew I cannot let my despair continue. I determined to get better and live my life again. During the process of healing, I read lots of spiritual books, did meditation and journaling. It took me a while to see hope and happiness again. Since then, I made a promise to myself: I HAVE TO BE HAPPY and I LOVE MYSELF. And yet, I know nothing can hurt me, except ME. I refused to be a victim of life. Instead, I realized, recognized and took the responsibility I owe to my life and my happiness: to be the winner, to keep loving, to laugh regardless of what life brings to me. I found that when I am able to love and appreciate myself in any situation, I can always bring myself back to the life that I want. Also, the more I send love and appreciation to people around me, the more I receive them back. My life started to change and attract more lovable, supportive and inspiring friends. When my mind feels good, my body feels good. I am just happy, healthy and free right here, right now.


Much love,
Mandy
