The Power of our Thoughts

Have you ever considered that the thoughts you are thinking have the power to change both your short-term and your long-term outcomes?

I “considered it,” but I also did not know how to affectively change my thoughts. They were “true”! How can you change “the truth”? I’m generally not an overly negative person, but I certainly saw no point in “thinking positive” when it felt entirely fake to do so. I’m no Pollyanna.

Life is made up of about 50% positive and 50% negative experiences.

Always. All life.

You can be rich, thin, healthy, beautiful, talented, gifted, and all the rest, but your life will still have about 50% negative emotions and experiences. They may be about different things, but the ratio remains about the same.

Learning to listen to our thoughts, and potentially change them, does NOT mean thinking only positive thoughts. You WANT to feel negative emotions when a loved-one dies, or you do something you regret. Plus, you can’t really enjoy the positive unless you have the contrast of the negative.

But what if I am creating MORE negativity by choosing thoughts that are leading to behaviors that are impacting my physical and mental health negatively?

Would you like to learn more about how this works and, most importantly, how to make it work FOR you?
