17 Seconds

17 Second Window
17 Second Window

We humans have 50,000 to 70,000 thoughts a day.


Did you know you have a 17 second window in which to hold a thought before the Universe starts to set up the circumstances and resources needed to move that thought into your reality? 


Here's how it works.

If you focus on a thought for 17 seconds, that thought takes a foothold in your consciousness. If you continue to focus on that thought for 68 seconds or longer the Universe puts into motion the elements to make that thought a part of your reality. So…positive or negative, want it or not, it's coming. Therefore, mind your thoughts.


It isn't always our habit to focus on the positive. It is believed that we are hardwired to see negative first, something about fight or flight. Thank goodness the Universe built in a fail safe of 17 seconds for us to change our thoughts for our greater good. 


If we can make it our habit to be positive and presently aware of what we are attracting with our thoughts, we master those 17 seconds and our reality. 17 seconds is not a long time, but it is long enough if you are aware, allowing for correction to get back on a positive thought track, attracting your desire into your life. 


Let us know what you think.


Stay curious. Stay grounded. Master your thoughts.
