This is Anne with your Coaching On The Go.

How can you use appreciation to create or speed up a momentum of great things that are going on in your life?

I have you do many different techniques.

I have you go into your future, see it, feel it and enjoy it as if you are past the completion of your vision, enjoying and celebrating it.

I have you go into periods of appreciating, looking all around, naming the things that you appreciate and feeling great about those things.

I have you journal about momentum that’s being created and serendipitous things that show up in your life.

These are powerful tools.

When you are feeling appreciative, do you feel authentic?

I do.

When I’m walking on the beach, listening to the waves, hyper present to the now moment, appreciating the color of the water, the way the waves are curling, the sand, particular stones in the sand, or when I’m up at Spirit river appreciating being amidst the tall trees and Creation itself floating along the river, having an eagle drop out of a tree, fly around the island, and meet and me on the other side of the island at the beach, I bask in all the things I appreciate.

By the time I’m done, the appreciation has set me up for such a beautiful day.

I do this regularly as a tool.

Years ago, when I was in a depression, I noticed that every day I was thinking about something that happened that hurt.

It got to the point where I did it so often that almost my whole day was spent in pain from a past experience.

Looking for help, I went to an Abraham Hicks event.

Somebody in a similar position came up to ask a question, like often happens in pod coaching.

I felt as if they were specifically talking to me as they mentioned how you’ve got to break the cycle of your thinking.

I listened and started doing it with appreciation.

I would notice that I was thinking about things that weren’t pleasant, that weren’t going to take me in the direction anything that I wanted.

I’d take the time to simply notice and say, “Okay, that was a big challenge for you.”

“I can see why you’re still thinking about it, but now what would you like to think about?

“You can choose anything that feels good.”

So I would.

I would stop the momentum by noticing it.

I would acknowledge that.

“Yeah, I understand why I’m still thinking about it, but what would I like to think about?”

“I can choose anything that feels good.”

I kept doing this, and eventually my momentum started shifting and I stopped thinking about what I didn’t want most of the day.

Instead I just started thinking about where I was going.

Utilize appreciation today.

Have a beautiful day.
