"I am filled with God's love, for I am light, I am light, I am light!

 That is one of my favorite affirmations and personally, I love affirmations because I don't have to believe what I'm affirming. The goal is not to change my belief system but rather to give myself a chance, in the moment, to shift my mind and body back into balance.

For example, when I find myself going from 0 to 100 in a millisecond I will say to myself "I am filled with God's love, for I am light, I am light, I AM LIGHT!" The simple act of reciting this affirmation will immediately arrest the negative thoughts flowing through my brain and stop them from entering my body.

Negative thoughts are powerful and once they have forged a strong enough pathway in the brain they easily enter the body and that is what I want to prevent. When this happens, in my case, my blood sugar drops and my thoughts and actions move to the extreme end of negative and I become easily agitated and angry. I am in a fight or flight state of being. This is very difficult to recover from.

Perhaps you have experienced this before or been in a similar state of mind?  This is an extreme example but negative thoughts are powerful and if you allow them to remain rooted in your psyche they can easily and quickly get in the control seat directing your thoughts and actions to a state of agitation, anger and even rage. And we all know where that gets us. The beauty is you are in the control seat and you have the power to allow your brain to take your mind, body and spirit along for a ride to Negative Town or you can say "Not today" and head to Harmonyville.

When I really want to amp up my ride...
