the Process of Pivoting

Karen Salmansohn, best selling author:

"Anytime you feel a negative emotion, stop and say: Something is important here; otherwise, I would not be feeling this negative emotion. What is it that I want? And then simply turn your attention to what you do want. . . . In the moment you turn your attention to what you want, the negative attraction will stop; and in the moment the negative attraction stops, the positive attraction will begin. And—in that moment—your feeling will change from not feeling good to feeling good. That is the Process of Pivoting. -Abraham

(By the way, I love this word "pivoting." Sometimes if something challenging happens in my day, I tell myself I need to pause - and pivot to a new thought and new action. I actually use the word "pivot" as a mantra - to get myself to change focus to something positive that I can think and do!)"
