Have you ever truly taken notice of what you say? Have you every truly taken notice of what you think about? Have you ever truly taken notice of how you feel?

When it’s a rainy day are you enjoying the sounds as the rain hits a surface? Are you breathing in the fresh scent that is distinct to rain? Do you notice how the weather makes you feel?  Do you think about playing in the puddles? Or do you think about tracking in mud?

When you watch the news about our current state of economy, do you take notice on how it makes you feel?  Does it invigorate you and motivate you for inspired action on change? Or do you think fearful thoughts.

I absolutely love that we all get to choose how we see life.  You get to choose how to see the world at large. You can choose to see the upside or downside of life. You get to choose if you see life through loving eyes, or fearful eyes. You get to choose, so choose what makes you feel good. Choose what makes you think highly of yourself and others. Choose what makes you speak highly of yourself and others. Choose your life from a space of love.

Affirmation: I have an abundance of love to share with myself, others, and the world.

For the next week I invite you to fill your head with:

Thoughts of joy – if you are currently living your dream life, be grateful and celebrate it.

Thoughts of joy – if you are currently dealing with contrasting experiences be joyful that they are there to show you what you don’t want as then you can move your thoughts towards what you do want.

Thoughts of joy – when you find yourself in a moment of judgment (yourself or others), choose to replace those thoughts with love and compassion.

Mostly, I invite you fill your head with thoughts of love. Love for yourself, love for your family, love for your friends, love for the planet, love for humanity, and simply choose that “LOVE IS”.  When faced with a challenging situation, ask yourself what would love say, think, or feel.
Until next week, fill your heart with joyful thoughts of love, peace, harmony, and absolute abundance in every aspect of your life.

Keep living big, loving big, and laughing along the journey.

That was stupid. I can’t do that. I’m not deserving of that. I’m too old, too young, too skinny, too fat, too tall, or too short. I am undeserving. Do any of these comments sound familiar to you? I bet you have said these to yourself in the past or possibly still do. The list is endless of negative self talk. However, it’s just as endless for positive self talk – you choose what to affirm whether positive of negative.

Now let’s wipe off the ick from those statements and ask yourself if you would say any of those comments to your best friend? The answer is NO. You would realize these statements would just perpetuate their negative self talk. You would choose affirmative comments and help make them feel better because they are YOUR best friend.

How about being your own best friend and catching your own negative self talk and turning it around to be supportive and loving? Rather than talking yourself down, talk yourself up. Rather than giving yourself a hard time, be gentle with yourself. Talk to yourself about solutions rather than problems. Talk to yourself about blessings rather than hardships. Talk to yourself about gratitude rather than lack.

Affirmation: I am an amazing friend to myself and others.

For the next week I invite you to be your own best friend by:

Giving yourself five compliments each day. If you are struggling to come up with five compliments, think of things you say to your friends. Or think of things friends say to you and repeat them to yourself.

Treating yourself the way you treat your best friend going through a challenging time by being gentle, loving, and supportive.

Motivating yourself with excitement and eagerness to start whatever it is you’ve been putting off and beating yourself up about.

Laughing at yourself several times a day just the way you laugh with your friends.

Mostly, I invite you to truly think of yourself as your own best friend. Be your biggest cheerleader rather than heckler. Be pro you rather than anti self. Be hopeful rather than worried. Anytime you start the negative self talk, ask yourself, would you say that to your best friend? And I bet the answer is – NO!

Until next time, have fun my friend.

Keep living big, loving big, and laughing along the journey.

Teaching Your Children Law Of Attraction

“Your children will see what you’re all about by what you live rather than what you say.”

~ Dr. Wayne Dyer

Welcome to Focused Family!

Welcome to Focused Family, our monthly newsletter on teaching the law of attraction to children.  We’re very happy and excited that you’re here. Each month we’ll share a parent tip, a game or exercise to share with your kids, and a powerful child manifestation story to keep you inspired and focused on created the best possible family.

I’m so happy and grateful to share this work with you.  Until next month… dream big and keep focusing on what you’re wanting.

Parent tip of the month:

How often do you travel?  Do you love it?  Is it challenging?  Either way, do you talk about traveling and different cultures with your kids?  Kids learn about our world through our eyes at first.  So if we’re stuck in one place what does that teach them?  We want to show our children a limitless world, a world full of different people, places, cultures and traditions.  Let’s talk to our kids about the different areas of the world.  If we can, let’s bring them there.  If not, talk to them and show them how unique our world can be.  You can pick up travel magazines and books on travel.  You can also experience different cultural restaurants, fairs, neighborhoods and street festivals. Don’t just let it pass you by.  Explain to your kids what each different culture is like and learn a little about it on your own.  If we can’t bring our kids to the unique cultures we can still bring unique culture to our kids.  Explore away!

Play With Me: Apps!

There are some really fun iPhone apps that you can share with your kids that will help you to keep them focusing on their dreams and bring more LOA into their lives.  I’m sure they’re available as apps for any type of cell phone with those features.  A couple of fun ones that I’ve found are:

Vision Board ~ this is an app where you can design a vision board with your own photos and words and/or choose from some of their stock photos.  It’s a fun way to play and dream with your child.

Distant Shore~ this is a simple app where you walk along the beach and collect shells.  When you collect 5 shells you get a bottle that you can write a note in and launch it into the ocean.  Someone across the globe can open your bottle and answer you.  I like to use this app to launch my dreams and wishes.  It’s usually a lot of fun to get a reply.  I usually start with “I’m so happy and grateful that…” and launch from there.

Louise Hay Cards ~ there are some great and powerful cards that you can flip through and read some powerful affirmations to your kids.

Esther and Jerry Hicks~ they have The Law of Attraction Cards.  These cards have positive inspiring messages to share.

I’m sure there are more wonderful LOA apps out there.  You can search some key words that would be fun for your family and play away.  If you have favorite apps please let me know.  Enjoy and have fun!

Kid Power

The latest and greatest Kids Manifestation Story:

My friend has a daughter who loved a certain teacher at school.  She was really upset when she had to move schools and leave him.  She pined over him daily.  And knelt down at night and prayed for him and for him to be her teacher again.  Since she had moved from North Carolina to Connecticut this seemed like a very far-fetched plan.  This teacher had been working at that school for over 10 years.  But she prayed and she dreamed.  Sure enough only 2 short years later they announced a new principal at her school. It was the teacher she knew and loved.  Without knowing she was there he had moved and been assigned to the school she went to.  Imagine his surprise when he saw her in the hallway.  She wasn’t surprised at all.  To her it was just a dream come true.  And those happen all the time.  J

Do you have any kid’s manifestation stories you’d like to share.  E-mail me at steffani@postive-focus.com I’d love to hear about your powerful kids.

I’m so happy and grateful to share this work with you.  Until next month… dream big and keep focusing on what you’re wanting.

Life is good,
