Funny.  My life has become so busy that I’ve had little time to be all introspective and stuff.

Which means there has been significantly less content on this here world o’ mine.

Which means… you all must terribly miss me.  *wink*

I was just thinking…  it’s interesting to recall those very precious moments I once held so dear.  It’s interesting to reflect and think about what my values were then, and what I wanted more than anything- what I longed for.

It’s amazing how easily those priorities change.

It’s dumbfounding how easily I was able to create what I really wanted, and in the process of creating what I desired, I didn’t even notice it happening.  It’s like, *poof* there ya go darlin’, and oh, by the way, in case you didn’t see it coming, we (the universe) gave you all of this months ago, you’ve just been too busy to see us leave the room.

It makes perfect sense: focus on what you want from this life, because then you will get more of it.  For some of us, this process is a lot magic and a little luck.  For others, it’s a lot logic and a little emotion.  For everyone, it’s truth, even if you refuse to see it as such.  What you focus on is what you get more of.  Focus on feeling bad, and your neurotransmitters begin to reabsorb those happy chemicals before you have the time to feel good.  Which makes you feel bad some more.  Which makes your neurotransmitters forget how to feel good.

Feeling bad is both psychologically and chemically cyclic.  We don’t understand exactly how it works, but we know that feeling depressed and being able to absorb serotonin properly is very much a chicken or egg ordeal.  They walk together, hand in hand, and in turn it would make proper sense that if you proceeded to feel good,  your brain might start working right chemically as a result.

Additional research has proven that using mechanical forms of altering the chemical mechanism works, too, to raise the mood.  Hence, SSRIs.

So, I’m here to tell you that focusing on what you want is not just a temporary deal, it’s a lifestyle.  You’re going to stray from it.  You’re going to forget, and you might end up going through a super stressful, super high anxiety, not-getting-what-you-want kind of phase every once in a while.

I’m feeling the urge to revisit this positive attitude, though.  I’m seeing it work, albeit WITH EXTRAORDINARY effort on my part… but if it was easy, everyone would be doing it.

Trust me.  This shit pays off.
