First let me tell you, going to the dentist may just be my least favorite thing in all the world! I've had so many traumatizing dental experiences throughout my life, that my anxiety kicks into high-gear just THINKING about having work done!
But yesterday was the second time I went to the dentist with a pre-determined declaration set in my mind of how things would unfold.
The first time was a month ago, while I was in the chair having two teeth extracted. Before beginning, my dentist explained all the possible challenges we faced - teeth breaking, root issues, etc - but as he worked and I gripped the arms of the chair for dear life, I silently repeated "easy...easy...easy" over and over, while visualizing my teeth coming out effortlessly. When my dentist was done a short time later, his exact words were, "or it can be simple like that!"
Then yesterday when I returned for my second visit, my dentist explained that my two cavities were pretty big and would probably hit close to the nerve and possibly need root canals in the future. I silently kept saying, "They are not that deep....they are not that deep." Once he was finished drilling, he announced. "Well, neither one were anywhere near as deep as I thought."
Now even though I KNOW we are powerful beyond measure, I must confess that each time these type of confirmations occur, I am truly and humbly AMAZED all over again! My heart just wells up with so much dang gratitude!
Sure, one could argue that these were just mere coincidences, and I might even buy that if it happened only once, but twice in a row?
So I just want to remind you, while these recent events are still fresh in my mind, that you play a major role in how your experiences play out. You can choose challenging, or you can choose easy. It's your life and you really do have the power to decide which way it flows.
