Expectation, a magical elixir.
"The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper."
- Eden Phillpotts
As children, we had big dreams and high hopes for the future. However, as we grow older, our expectations tend to shrink, and we become more focused on the difficulties and challenges in life. We become so caught up in the daily grind that we forget about the magic that life has to offer. But what if we could change that? What if we could tap into our inner childlike wonder and start expecting great things to happen again?
The key to rekindling that sense of wonder is to think abundantly. This means expecting good things to happen and believing that the universe has great things in store for us. When we have an abundance mindset, we are more likely to notice the positive things happening around us and attract more of them into our lives. We can start by asking ourselves questions like, "What do I expect from today?" and "What do I expect for this week?"
Society often tells us to be realistic and prepare for the worst, but that only leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy of negative outcomes. Instead, we should focus on the good things that are already present in our lives and look forward to the good things that are yet to come. By doing this, we can start living a life filled with hope, joy, and positivity.
Actionable steps to increase positive expectation are within reach:
Practice Gratitude: One of the best ways to increase positive expectation is by practicing gratitude. 🙏 Focus on the things you have in your life, and acknowledge them daily. Start a gratitude journal and write down a few things you're grateful for every day. This helps you focus on the positive things in your life and cultivates a more optimistic outlook.
Surround Yourself with Positive People: It's said that you're the average of the five people you spend the most time with. If you're constantly around negative people, it can be difficult to have a positive outlook. Seek out people who have a positive attitude and spend time with them. Their positive energy can rub off on you. 👥
Visualize Success: Spend some time each day visualizing yourself achieving your goals. This helps create a positive expectation that you will succeed. Visualization can also help reduce anxiety and increase confidence. 🎯
Take Positive Action: Take small steps toward your goals every day. This reinforces a positive expectation that you will achieve your goals. Each small success builds momentum and helps you stay focused on the positive. 💪
Reframe Negative Thoughts: When negative thoughts enter your mind, consciously reframe them in a positive light. For example, instead of thinking "I can't do this," try thinking "I can do this, I just need to break it down into smaller steps." Reframing negative thoughts can help you maintain a positive mindset. 🌱
Practice Self-Care: Take care of yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally. Get enough sleep, eat healthy foods, and exercise regularly. Take time for yourself to do things that bring you joy. When you feel good about yourself, it's easier to maintain a positive expectation. 🌼
Embrace the magic of expectation and cultivate a life filled with endless possibilities. 🌟✨
