I love  The Secret.  I know...you're shocked...I've never mentioned it on the blog...how silly of me ;-).

Ok, so you already knew that I love The Secret, and I have spent nearly three years reshaping my mindset into one that is full of positive thoughts and gratuity for all that I am so lucky to have in life.  That being said, about mid-2012 I began to think I had been doing it wrong, and Kris Carr really drove that theory home for me this week. Here's what my new theory is:

Living a happy and positive life does not mean ignoring your negative emotions, and forcing happy thoughts...oops.

For me, there are two major parts of The Secret that left me feeling confused about this:

1. When the book tells you to focus on your emotions.  It says that if you are not feeling happy, it means your thoughts are not positive, and you need to change that.

2. When the book talks about mood switchers.  It says that when you are not thinking positively, think of something that makes you happy (I use my puppy, and my niece.)

I think these suggestions are great....for when you're on your period, or didn't get enough sleep, or didn't have enough coffee this morning.  When your negative attitude isn't justified for goodness sake change it,  

BUT what about when your negative emotions are justified?

When you are genuinely sad or angry about something, or when you have real fears and anxieties, if you completely ignore them to think about a puppy or the cutest little girl in the world, you are just suppressing them down, they still live inside of you.  Living your life of Pure Bliss will always be an uphill battle, if you are constantly pretending the bad doesn't exist.  Kris Carr described positive affirmations when you are holding onto negativity as "accessories." She said, "They feel like I am laying them on a pile of shit." So instead of taking your negative thoughts and bedazzling them, acknowledge they are there, feel them, and let them go.  You will thank yourself once you have.

If you are looking for a way to let go of your sadness, anger, fear, anxieties, etc. Watch this video... it's the one the took my hunch about the law of attraction into a full blown theory.

Have a lovely day!
