I watched "The Secret" DVD yesterday. I realized that without knowing it I have been embracing the concept in my life, I just never considered it a secret or assigned a name to it.

As I watched it I thought about reminders my sons gave me from time to time. "Breathe Mom, breathe" and "don't think so much." Even today when I am anxious or nervous about something I tend to unconciously hold my breath. If I take a breath it does work to calm me, duh! from the mouths of babes.

It seemed like just yesterday, when Jim took me to a batting cage and he told me to stop thinking so much and just hit the ball. Amazing how sometime, not thinking can help you focus.

Remembering these things and seeing the video has refocused and rejuvenated me with the knowledge that my thoughts are powerful. When I beat myself up or dwell in the past the negative energy attracts negative results in my life. When I relax and allow myself to dwell in the world of possibilities and dreams, I not only feel wonderful, I find I am better able to deal with the unexpected challenges that life gives us.

I have much yet to learn about the "laws of attraction." I will breathe and not think so much and enjoy this wonderful day. Thanks Tom & Jim.
