Loving these resources!!! This really resonated with me, from the How to Shift Your Reality by Shifting Yourself:
To shift your reality, you must acquire a mindset of abundance.
Sometimes others change as soon as we shift our thoughts, feelings and beliefs, but more often than not, there is a delay. What we experience at any given time is an echo from the past. You might say that the present moment is actually the past because there is a gap between the projection of reality from our subconscious minds and the experience of reality through our conscious minds. Much like the time gap between the projector in the back of the movie theatre and the movie screen where we watch the movie. Knowing this, gives you the insight to be committed to your new way of thinking.
Be patient — allow some time for the new reality to show up in your life. In other words, don’t give up – stay focused.
SO GOOD! It really is true that patience is key-don't give up, because you don't know how close you are to the new reality, and you don't want to fall back into negative thinking and then create a new negative reality that shows up on a delay.
