What is pivoting?

Pivoting is often the first step toward shifting your habit of vibration. It helps you to more clearly define what it is you desire, and gradually shifts your thoughts away from what you do not desire. As I’ve said many times before, you attract what you think about, so best you think about what you want!

In the book Ask and It Is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks, you are taken through the process of pivoting, and I will attempt to do it some justice in my summary here…

Melinda is struggling financially. She’s behind in her rent, her car recently broke down, and the debt collectors are knocking at her door and she’s worried she will be kicked out of her apartment. To most people, this situation looks pretty dire, wouldn’t you agree?

Thankfully Melinda has just been taught the process of pivoting, so here’s what she does…

1. She realises that her thoughts are on her reality, which isn’t great right now
2. She acknowledges that by focusing on her reality, she’s giving more power to it and she’s in the process of attracting more of the same.
3. She then says to herself, “I know that my current thoughts are giving more power to the things I do not want. So what DO I want?”
4. She begins to think about the things she wants, such as to be caught up on her rent, to have her car in perfect working order, and to have enough money to pay her bills. She spends some time focusing on these things, and notices a subtle change in her body. Somehow she feels a little lighter inside.
5. She makes a decision to do this every time a negative thought enters her head in future.

Pivoting isn’t an instant fix, but it creates a subtle shift in your vibration every time you follow this process.

Over time, you will begin to notice that your life is beginning to improve, because every day you are raising your vibration just that little bit more. The higher your vibration, the more aligned you are to your ultimate desires, so it pays to keep at it!

Starting today, be aware of your thoughts and what they may be attracting into your life. The more conscious you are of these thoughts, the sooner you can turn them around with this pivoting process, so that they don’t take hold and create more of what you do not want in your life. xx
