This is a great way of looking at it. If we decide to get the fly swat out and try to get rid of them we are then distracted from our task and all our focus goes into the flies. We all know what we focus on is what we get. The image that conjours up in my mind doesn't bare thinking about.

Wow, you have given me something to think about too with your comment. I like the idea not to beat myself up because of my bad thoughts, it just adds to the stress. I get from what you are saying, just accept them as a kind of back ground noise and get on with your days work to manifest what you want anyway. Just like flies, they are around, just ignore and accept them. I am not making flies bad, do I? Okay Lorraine, bad thoughts - accept them and then get on with your life. Will do. @ Lorraine.

Great comment. Looking back and seeing things worked out helps me to 'prove' to myself I CAN do things and I know you have done amazing things too that makes me see you as a great brilliant person that you are. I read once that we can only hold one thought at the time so even thinking about something very minor as what to have for dinner will chase annoying thoughts away. It is like what we did with our little children when they were hurt or frghtened from a nightmare, we diverted their attention....I do that too now when I wake up feeling anxious..your mantra 'I can be all I will to be' is a great one to divert attention, will try that one too ;) @ Bridget. Great comment.

I have been wanting to post a reply but really needing to think what is that I want to say. Essentially I think there is something about the whole notion in the motivational and manifestation arena about good and bad that bothers me and the idea that something needs to be eliminated as this kind of goes against my holistic principles. I Am the thoughts that serve me and the thoughts that don't serve me. If I get into thinking I have to get rid of the thoughts that don't serve me, I get into thinking there is something wrong and inadequate about me. I also end up giving them more energy and they grow. If I try to get rid of them I drive them into the shadow lands of my being, where they cause more havoc. In these instances a lot of my power goes underground too and starts to work against me. So what do I do. I keep my focus on where I am going and what I want to achieve. I accept all my thoughts. Those that support my higher ideals and aspirations and those that don't. I honour them all for the purpose they have served in my life. Many come from family and social conditioning from my past and don't tell me the truth about who I am and what I am capable of now. I proceed despite what my thoughts are doing as they cannot harm me or hijack me unless I believe them or fear them or focus on them. Check it out Wilma, I have discovered I don't have to live in unwavering certainty to keep manifesting the life I want but I do need to stay focused on what I want and not what my thoughts might tell me.

I am aware that I think of myself as healthy and 'am healthy'. Because I think of myself as healthy I am not tempted by unhealthy food or not exercising. I can 'see this working here" In fact when I look back over my life I am wondering if I have just forgotten those moments of doubt as I took on challenges and projects (which all turned out great by the way) or if indeed I simply believed I could, stayed positive and took the next step? With my latest project 'o'kaioceanikart pacific art gallery' there was never a thought that it wouldn't be successful, even when many people questioned its viability. The question is 'what can be done to stop the questions and doubts once they have started?' I read that when Wayne Dwyer has a negative thought he just says 'next please' That must take a huge amount of control (discipline) of the mind. So back to the mantra "Ican be all I will to be'. thanks for the blog Wilma, your timing is impeccable with this blog!!!
