 Dewang Gupta I have often said and written about how our thoughts become words, our words become actions and thus create our environment. This can be for the good or bad. I have also been known to say, at least to myself, that I am stubborn even on things I know to be true and don’t always follow my own advice. Well, I had an epiphany and starting now things are going to change for the better. You see, about 4 years ago, I was forced to transition to a different position at my day job. This was a promotion, but within a department, I did not want to be a part. I fought. I screamed and yelled, albeit inside, and really struggled with this change. To the point, I was so angry inside, my anger manifested in an external skin rash resulting in multiple doctors, Chinese Herbalist and acupuncture visits before I realized, I need to release the anger and not feed it. Although giving forgiveness and receiving peace did subdue my rash, my work surroundings did not change, and I continually struggled. So my epiphany? On an afternoon stress walk, I crossed paths with a former co-worker, from a position and department that I absolutely loved. Our conversation was as if we saw each other yesterday when years had passed. While speaking with her I remembered what a joy it was to work with her. What a joy my job and position was and that, almost, every day, I would go to work happy and say to myself and out loud I was happy, My epiphany then, I know get on with it. My epiphany is that I need to stop saying to myself and out loud that I don’t like my job; that it sucks, that my company sucks, that my boss sucks. This all might be true, in some respects, but by me confirming and reconfirming (thoughts become words, words become actions and thus create our environment) I am growing the negativity, creating more negative vibrations and creating more of what does not support or empower me. The epiphany is a new mantra or mantras. Positive mantras that will change my current vibrational power and call into creation a position where I feel and hold great joy, satisfaction, empowerment and extravagant prosperity. Mantra 1: I love my job in every way. I love to play every day. My job has the perfect balance of work and play. My job is at the perfect pay. Mantra 2: I AM joyful. I AM fully known. I AM brilliant. I AM well in my being. Dear Creator Sustainer Mother Father God, thank you for reminding me that you are within me and that I have the power to create. Thank you for waking me up to the fact I was creating a negative environment. Dear Lord, please continue to be with me in present and future, just as the past; as without you, I would be lost. I am your child. A Child of God. Thank you. In your many names. Amen. ** Note - within 24 hours of writing my new mantras, I was giving a new project, working with my former boss with the team I love. Already working!!!
