In Chi Kung (Qigong) there is a saying, ‘where the mind goes the Chi flows.’ In other words, with practice, you can move your own Chi around your body to improve your health. This may sounds far fetched, but I can say that I do this in my daily Chi Kung practice.
The reason I am mentioning this is because it got me thinking about what we focus on in life. When we assume we are going to have a bad day we often do. Not because it was going to happen, but because we focused on all the negative things and ignore the positive. Sometimes our actions create the bad day, because we assume it will happen. We create self fulfilling prophesies, so to speak.
What if we woke up grateful to be alive for another day. What if we were more mindful of everything we did during the day. The smell of morning coffee, a colourful sunrise, the bus being on time, having a conversation with a stranger, and so on.
What if we looked at the challenges of the day as opportunities to make a difference. If we were to be focused on finding opportunities to learn and grow and serve, then we would find opportunities. The brain looks for what we tell it to look for. Where your mind goes your life flows.
