Feeling low is tied to many things, but is especially tied to the thoughts we have. Have you heard the saying, \u201cYou are what you eat?\u201d Well, <a title=\"10 Ways to Beat the Holiday Blues\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2010\/11\/10-ways-to-beat-the-holiday-blues-2.html\"><strong>when it comes to the blues<\/strong><\/a>, you are what you think.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Psychic Rachel ext. 6385\" href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/psychics\/Rachel-6385.aspx?utm_source=blog-articles&amp;utm_medium=blog-articles&amp;utm_campaign=cta-psychic-rachel-ext-6385\"><em><strong>Get a detailed life path reading today. Call Psychic Rachel ext. 6385 now!<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Allowing your mind to replay painful experiences, dwelling on times when you have felt wronged or betrayed, or thinking that you are not enough (beautiful enough, successful enough, abundant enough, etc.) can lead to <a title=\"9 Ways to Rise Above the Winter Blues\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2011\/02\/9-ways-to-rise-above-the-winter-blues.html\"><strong>feeling the blues<\/strong><\/a>. But these thoughts do not reflect your true worthiness or the true perfection of your being.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Be Aware of Your Thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To lift yourself up and out when you are feeling low, first begin by becoming aware of your thoughts. Take a step back and reflect on what thoughts you had before you started feeling blue. Have you been replaying an argument you had with another? Going over every moment of a recent breakup? Wondering whether or not someone is telling you the truth or has been deceiving you? Such thoughts will immediately produce an effect in your auric field or on your energy levels and your energy will drop. This is what we commonly refer to as \u201cfeeling low.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Replace Low Thoughts With Higher Thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Next, once you have traced back your thoughts and have found the culprits, lift your energy up by <a title=\"You Are What You Think\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2013\/05\/what-you-think.html\"><strong>immediately replacing those thoughts with higher ones<\/strong><\/a>. Have you ever seen the movie Forrest Gump? If you have had the pleasure of seeing this wonderful movie, you know that Forrest\u2019s mother taught him loads of little sayings to cheer him in difficult circumstances. The one we all know is &#8220;Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you&#8217;re gonna get.\u201d\u00a0This is how you replace a lower thought with a higher one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Try These Higher Thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you are thinking about how a person hurt you and how bad that made you feel. Try shifting your focus to his or her humanity and focus on forgiveness. Try saying this to yourself: \u201cPeople are not perfect, and they make mistakes. I am hurt, but perhaps they are hurting too. I am also strong and resilient.\u201d If you are wondering if someone is telling you the truth, you can choose a higher thought. Try saying: \u201cIt may be that they are not telling me the truth, but no one can truly harm me.\u201d Or, \u201cI will know what I need to know when I need to know it.\u201d And, how about replacing \u201cThey&#8217;re so beautiful, but I can never be that beautiful\u201d with \u201cI have been placed here for a special purpose and whatever and whoever I am is exactly what I am meant to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>You&#8217;re Retraining Your Mind<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Slowing down your thoughts and retraining your mind will have a profound change on your energy levels and therefore your life. Meditation is another awesome way to learn to discipline the mind, and works well with replacing lower thoughts with higher thoughts! I just want you to know that you can end your blues instantly by shifting your thoughts upwards. It will put a smile back on your face!<\/p>\n<p>Happy thinking!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Psychic Rachel ext. 6385\" href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/psychics\/Rachel-6385.aspx?utm_source=blog-articles&amp;utm_medium=blog-articles&amp;utm_campaign=cta-psychic-rachel-ext-6385\"><strong>Psychic Rachel ext. 6385<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your thoughts play a significant role in how you feel.
