Manifestation is all about attracting the things we want into our lives, but our thoughts and emotions can sometimes work against us. Happiness is a choice, but it’s not always an easy one. Our thoughts and emotions have a powerful impact on our lives and can influence what we attract into our experiences. When we’re feeling down or stuck in a negative pattern, it can be hard to break free and start feeling good again. But with some hard work and practice, it is possible to shift our mindset and attract positivity and abundance. By prioritizing self-care, celebrating small victories, and doing things that our future selves will thank us for, we can shift our mindset and start attracting the things we truly desire.
One powerful tool for shifting our mindset is celebrating small victories. When we’re feeling down, it can be easy to overlook the little things that go right in our day. But taking the time to acknowledge and celebrate these small victories can help shift our focus to the positive and start building momentum towards larger successes.
When we celebrate small wins, our brains release dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward. This surge of dopamine not only makes us feel good but also creates a positive feedback loop that motivates us to repeat the behavior that led to the reward. By celebrating small victories regularly, we can train our brains to seek out and repeat positive behaviors, helping us to cultivate a habit of happiness.
Similarly, taking baby steps and rewarding ourselves along the way can help us make progress towards our goals. For those who struggle with depression, getting started can be especially challenging. But by breaking down tasks into smaller, more manageable steps and rewarding ourselves for completing them, we can build confidence and momentum towards achieving our larger goals. For example, I used to dread cleaning my desk for months, but once I tackled it, I spend just 5 minutes each day to ensure it stays clean and orderly, and it never gets messy again. Similarly, I love practicing yoga, and I reward myself with a delicious smoothie afterward. These small rewards can help us stay motivated and energized as we work towards our goals.
In addition to celebrating small victories and taking baby steps, it’s important to prioritize self-care. Some small self-care practices that can make a big difference include taking a walk, going to bed early, or making a gratitude list. These practices may seem simple, but they can help ground us in the present moment, clear our minds, and remind us of all the good things we have to be thankful for. Remember, taking care of yourself is not selfish. It’s an essential part of attracting positivity and abundance into your life.
Ultimately, doing things that our future selves will thank us for is vital. Every small action we take towards happiness and abundance can have a positive impact on our future. When I’m feeling depressed, I have plants that will look sad, notifying me that I’m depressed, and then I take love walks and photograph things that bring me joy. Whether it’s prioritizing self-care, taking steps towards our goals, or simply focusing on the positive aspects of our lives, every small action we take can help us create habits of being happy and attract more positivity and abundance into our lives.
So the next time you’re feeling down or stuck in a negative pattern, remember that what we feel we attract. Celebrate the small victories, take baby steps towards your goals, and prioritize self-care. By doing things that your future self will thank you for and creating habits of being happy, you can attract more positivity and abundance into your life. Don’t forget to reward yourself for your progress and success along the way!
