- I want to bake more and be creative in the kitchen.
- I wish I were a morning person.
- I really want to spend more time being artistic and creative - more writing, crafts, art perhaps.
If you look closely at my words, you'll notice that I am making true exactly what I am saying. Because my thoughts are so powerful, I find myself still wanting to bake more, wishing I were a morning person, and wanting to be more artistic.
Two of my favorite writers, Neale Donald Walsch and Wayne Dyer, discuss this idea of the power of our words. They have similar ideas that if we want to change something about our life, we have to change our thinking. Therefore, my statements above should become:
- I'm baking more.
- I am a morning person.
- I spend more time being artistic and creative.
If I don't change my thoughts, I will stay in a state of wanting and wishing, creating exactly what I am saying in my head. But that's not what I want out of my short life here on this earth!!
So I changed my thinking, and I am starting small. Every time I think I should really bake more, I look up a recipe and decide to make something! What has held me back in this area is that I am an all or nothing person. I am either an awesome baker who bakes all the time, or not a baker at all. But that is not how life has to be. I can bake once a week or once a month, and if that makes me happy, then awesome!!
I get these ideas in my head that change has to be drastic and shocking, that I have to rearrange my life to do something new or be a certain new way. But change can happen at each moment. Change is small, and in fact, even things that appear to be BIG changes happened from the succession of many small changes.
Would it make me happy to bake and write today? YES! Does it have to be perfect? No! All that matters is that I do what makes my heart sing, and then the singing gets louder and louder and louder...
Happy baking!
