“Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I’ll be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I’ll be watching you
Every Breath You Take – The Police

This song by The Police is not on my regular playlist of songs, but my cell phone was dead, so I decided to use my husband’s phone. He has a mix of genres of music on his phone, and the song, Every Breath You Take came up and, it brought back memories to the time when I first heard this song.

When I first heard the song, I took the words as literal but when I heard it the other day, it had a different meaning. With all the reading and learning I have been doing in the past few years on how powerful our subconscious mind is and how our beliefs affect what we manifest in our life…the words to me now meant… be careful what you think, say or do, as the subconscious mind is always watching and bringing to execution literally whatever you think or believe “…every step you take, I’ll be watching you…”.

Have you noticed when you focus on something, you tend to see it everywhere? When you are thinking of buying a certain model of car, you see that model everywhere, on billboards, in traffic and on television. This is called the Reticular Activating System (RAS), it filters out unnecessary information, so the important stuff gets through.

Similarly, if you focus on the good and are grateful for all that you have, you will attract more of it. When you focus on what you don’t have, or what you have lost or how unlucky you are, your beliefs will attract more of that. The energy surrounding you becomes negative and it impacts not only you but everyone around you.

It is okay to be sad and feel the emotions that you feel but you cannot stay in that state for too long, you have to make the effort to change your negative state and turn it into a positive one if you want to attract more of the positive vibes into your life.
 
How to change attracting what you don’t want, to attracting what you do want:

1. Focus on what is great, what are you grateful for now (this is the number one thing that will change your life for the better).
2. Listen to music you enjoy.
3. Do things that you enjoy doing, like, cooking, hiking, dancing.
4. Meditate, there are lots of free guided meditations on YouTube.
5. Walk in nature, surround yourself with plant and flowers.
6. Learn something new or teach someone something you are good at.
7. When you have one negative thought, change it by thinking of 3 positive ones.
8. Read books, blogs or articles that inspire you.
9. Stay in the present, focus on NOW because what you focus on now is creating your future.

The above are all simple things to do and, if we can help each other and ourselves stay in the present, being grateful for every moment on this earth, the more joy and happiness we will attract and experience.
