Being happy is a habit

In this week’s article Returning to happiness after loss or crisis I listed some practical steps that lead to recovery and returning to being your usual happy self.

After living exceptional experiences it’s inevitable to return to normal life and routines, and being happy is a way of life and can be a habit if you choose it to be. Affirmative prayer and programming your mind can help you turn happiness into a habit.

Mind touched by faith works miracles in your life.

Confidence in your own power and sublime trust in the assistance of the powers of the universe will bring you happiness that stays. Choose to be happy by working on your mental patterns and following the call of your heart.

I’ve used many affirmative prayers to repeat everyday that I find beautifully simple. Try making this the first thought when you awake and repeat this several times during your day:

I choose happiness today,

I choose peace,

I choose succes.

Love and joy brighten up my entire day.

For these blessings I am thankful

Exercise makes the master. Exercise bringing the best and highest in you, put it into action everyday.

Trust the guidance of the divine cell of God contained in your mind,

allow yourself to be inspired by the Spirit of Truth in your heart,

be conscious that your Guardian Angels bring you into situations where decision-making is vital.

It is in hard times where you have the opportunity to show what you are made of, and your Angels see to it that you make the best out of this opportunity.

Even when you find no strength to go on, and I know it can get hard, goodness that comes out of you heals you and others and it fills your heart with sublime joy.

Some people feel anger towards life because of their so-called fate or take revenge at others because things went bad; this only empowers the lowest in human kind.

You see, events are a result of mental structures and not the cause.

Letting go, moving on, being constructive or fair, forgiving, discovering your inner strengths and augmenting your self-worth imply a great deal of personal character and mental power in hard times; but training these muscles can and will bring back the feeling of happiness. Working on yourself can give you a feeling of accomplishment that is a balsam for your soul.

Sincerely desire to be happy and happiness will follow; divine guidance of the universal powers lay before you.

If you want to read more about how your mind can make happiness a habit, read The Power of Your Subconscious Mind from Dr. Josef Murphy; you’ll be happy you did.

The power of “I AM”

“I am” is the name of the original source or primal cause of the whole creation. “I am” is eternal, infinite and uncaused. “I am” is the philosophic concept that portraits God.

There’s a cell of God in our minds, it’s located in the area between the eyes – often called the third eye – and it is this presence that makes us Godlike. “I am” is an integral part of you.
Pronouncing “I AM” refers inevitably to the original cause and it naturally activates eternal powers in you and in the universe.

The words pronounced after “I am” are also of vital importance: accustom yourself to using the right words when you refer to you. The power of “I am” is creation. You literally create that what you say about yourself.

• I am happy
• I am healthy
• I am intelligence
• I am consequent
• I am love
• I am good
• I am peace
• I am beauty
• I am truth
• I am prosperity
• I am abundance
• I am creative

This is a pure and powerful act of creation; it links you with the primary source of the universe.

Think twice before you say things like “I’m no good, lazy, difficult, and dumb”. Avoid calling anyone such names; specially kids and young people tend to “save” those words in their minds and act accordingly.

Make it an important goal to refer to you and to others with respect and in a constructive way.

Set those powers into motion for a good cause: being a beautiful, good and truthful person everyday.
It is an honour to give shelter to the cell of God; let’s live accordingly.

Gain consciousness of this divine presence in you and in others. Although complete consciousness of God is impossible due to our still very material nature, our eternal Father reaches out throughout the whole Universe towards us, he literally sees through our eyes. To spiritualize our material minds in order to establish all possible contact with this divine cell of God is beauty in action. For such beauty in the world I pray for and I’m thankful everyday.

With love,
Atika

Motivate your life with Self-Programming

The same things, the same job and the same routines contribute to a feeling of safety and comfort, but there come times where one feels there has to be more to life. Being tired of living the same life day after day or being bored at work because of lack of challenge happens very often. A bit of passion or deeper commitment in life would be great.

It can be anything.
But sometimes you don’t even know what to wish for although you know something’s missing.

• Renewing the love you have or
• Finding that “someone” special to love and be loved by
• Cultivating warm and deep family relationships
• Developing a great hobby
• Being really good at something you love
• Doing a job that you can be passionate about

I encourage you to make contact with the eternal source of wisdom that is the Universal Mind. Remember that even though you might not know the questions, let alone the answers, the fact that you are conscious that there has to be more or that you can give more of you is actually inspired by those energies in charge of your development as a human being with infinite potential. The Universal source that makes you conscious of that need for change knows all the answers, connect with it and let yourself be inspired.

Here is a short exercise to make contact with the Universal Source of Wisdom that guides us all.

What, when and where:
Prayers and auto-suggestions work at best right before you doze to sleep and when they’re the very first thought when waking up. They also work better in those moments of peace and silence, where there’s no chance to be disturbed.
Everyday, twice a day or more, when the conditions allow it, repeat the following text or make your own prayer according to your personal needs, and in a tone you personally use to communicate with the universe.
Be patient and consequent. Repeat this everyday, at least twice a day. Trust the power of the divinity in you and the universe.

The Powers of my Mind-Spirit, in connection with the eternal Wisdom of the Universal Mind, guide me to the place where I belong in this life. Supreme intelligence inspires me to discover the area where I can grow and make my life and that of others around me even better. Deep joy and motivation are motors of my life.

I am capable of recognizing and appreciating the goodness of life
I am capable of truly living life
I am capable of making life beautiful

For that I’m thankful

There’s a book that inspires me very much and it’s called The Power of Your Subconscious Mind. It speaks about how your mind works and gives many examples of affirmative prayer or self-programming. I not only mention my own power or the powers of my own mind in my prayers or self-programming sessions; I am very conscious that our power is directly connected with the powers of the universe and that they are of cosmic nature.
