Mind over Matter

I have been working with the New Age idea, or at least new to most of us, of making appear in my life the things I want and need out of life by believing first in God's ability in making anything and everything possible and also by visualizing what I want.  So far there have been unexpected things that I am grateful that have appeared in my life and regardless to how small they may appear to some people I am more than grateful  for anything and everything that God brings into my life.  But there has been a couple of things and mainly one thing in particular that I have been focusing all my energy on that has yet to appear in my life and a realized yesterday that one of the things holding me back is my need to criticize people or situations.  If I am spending time complaining about a company or how someone else chooses to live their life then I am bringing negativity into my life which I do not want.  Or it is blocking the flow or positivity that I am trying to bring into my life.  I am praying and asking God everyday to help me to overcome this bad habit.  Because even when I am doing it I know that it is a bad thing but part of me just feels the need to get it out and over with so I don't dwell on it.  But I need to find a way to move past it.  And remember to focus on being grateful.
