Summary:
Newton’s First Law of motion applies to our emotions as well. Emotions tend to persist and resist change, keeping us stuck in certain moods. However, we can shift our state by recognizing that our mind plays tricks on us and that our mood is temporary. By consciously choosing to notice moments of joy and feeling grateful for them, we can train our unconscious self to automatically recognize and preserve positive emotions. This shift in emotional momentum can lead us towards a more positive mood and help manifest our desires. Emotions act as magnets, turning our dreams or fears into reality.

Newton’s First Law of motion states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest, while an object in motion tends to stay in motion. In a similar way, individuals tend to persist in their emotions and resist change. For example, when individuals feel angry, they are more likely to engage in behaviors that perpetuate anger. Likewise, when individuals feel sad or depressed, they find it challenging to view things positively.
Fortunately, the opposite is also true. When individuals feel happy and motivated, it is easier for them to maintain those positive emotions. This leads us to the question of how we can shift our state of mind into a more productive mode and enhance our sense of well-being when we find ourselves stuck in a negative mood.
The solution lies in understanding that our minds often deceive us. When we are feeling down and envisioning the future, our thoughts will align with that negative mood. However, recognizing that our mood is temporary enables us to understand that our thoughts do not accurately reflect how things will actually unfold. This awareness grants us some control over the game our emotions play to keep us trapped in a particular state. We are conscious beings capable of making choices, and even when we are not fully aware, our previous conscious choices shape our automatic behaviors. Moreover, every emotion we experience slowly influences our overall state. Emotions build upon one another and gather momentum, making initial choices crucial in harnessing positive change.
To initiate this positive change, we can make use of our conscious awareness to acknowledge moments of joy, regardless of how small they may be. It could be the scent of coffee or the refreshing feeling of splashing water on our face in the morning. No moment of joy is too insignificant to notice; by mentally noting each instance of positive energy, we train ourselves to automatically recognize these moments more frequently.
Gratitude plays a significant role in preserving these positive emotions. Expressing gratitude for something helps it remain in our minds, ensuring the continuation of those feelings. It is a conscious choice we make when we become aware of these joyful moments. Just like recognizing joy, feeling grateful for these moments trains our minds to do so naturally.
As we condition our unconscious selves, we will gradually begin to automatically acknowledge and preserve positive emotions. With this increased experience of positive energy, our emotional momentum will shift away from frustration or sadness towards a more positive mood.
Emotions possess a unique form of creative energy. Our consistent thoughts lead to consistent feelings, and when we consistently experience a particular emotion, our behaviors align accordingly. This is the underlying mechanics of the law of attraction. We first think it, then we feel it, and through our cumulative actions, it manifests into reality.
There is always a path towards the future we desire, but in order to progress toward it, we must manage our emotions. Emotions act as magnets, turning our dreams into reality.
