Spring cleaning is what many of us think about each year. Have you ever considered Spring cleaning your mind? Do you realize how your negative thoughts are not allowing you to attract all the success you would like in your life? Do you know that you can Spring clean your negative thoughts and turn them into positive ones to attract more success?
Positive thinking is the most powerful method for attracting success and all the good you want in your life. When you focus your thoughts on a positive result, you have a much greater chance of achieving that outcome. Why? Because there is a universal law that says: "like attracts like." You can use it to your benefit by holding positive thoughts and expectations about the outcome you desire, and watch the law of attraction draw it to you. Your thoughts are made up of energy, so when you focus them on what you want to achieve, that energy attracts those results to you. This universal law works for everyone: that which you focus on you attract to you. But first you need to clean out the negative thoughts, words, and habits that may be crowding out your positive intentions.
Here is a practical 3-step process to use every time you find negative thoughts slipping into your mind:
- Think about the negative thought briefly without trying to make it wrong
- Release the negative thought with love; let it go without attachment
- Fill the void with a positive thought, perhaps the opposite of the negative one
If you do not fill the void with a positive thought, negative thoughts will come creeping back out of habit. One of the most effective ways to replace negative thoughts with positive ones is through affirmations. Affirmations are positive statements spoken in present tense as if what you desire has already come to pass. For example, if your negative thought is: "I can't seem to lose this extra 10 pounds" replace it with the affirmation "I lovingly and effortlessly release any extra weight from my body." Now you must not focus on obstacles, distractions, or failures that may come up as you are waiting to achieve this goal. When you notice your mind veering off course, gently tell yourself to come back to the positive focus. Continue to repeat the affirmation every time a negative thought or obstacle shows up. If you continue in faith that your positive thoughts, words, intentions, and actions will create results, then you will succeed!
With diligence, patience, and effective tools, you can harness the unlimited power of your mind to attract whatever you want. Some of the tools you can use besides affirmations include visualization, meditation, reading books, listening to CDs, and attending seminars and teleclasses.

Once you have Spring cleaned your mind and trained it to focus on the positive, start looking for what's good and right in your world. You have the ability to achieve success through the power of positive thinking.
