Think it to believe it

Change your thoughts

Don’t believe everything you think.

Monday April 2, 2018

Just because you believe something, doesn’t make it true ~ or does it?

Would it surprise you to learn that 80% of what you think is predominantly negative?  We are constantly being bombarded with negative thoughts.  Across the radio, social media or television, the sad fact is all this doom and gloom is manifesting pessimism.  You are adding to it with thoughts such as; “I’ll never get out from under this debt or I don’t see an end to this project.”  When you constantly connect to a disparaging belief you have about yourself, the Universe will bring more of it to you.

It’s not simple to reverse how you think to draw positive energy.  However, there are hacks you can implement immediately.  It all starts with an awareness of what you’re putting into your brain.  A good start is to reduce the trash you are putting in.  And that means, turning off the tube.

The only way to grow your brain is to fill it with things that will stretch your mind and improve your life. There are more constructive ways to learn and grow without filling your head with the negativity that the media fills it with.

Start with these following suggestions:
·       Stop watching the news and set a goal to reduce your media consumption by 50% as a start.
·      Identify podcasts or webinars that encourage growth and learning.
·      MindValley offers great courses on a variety of subjects from fitness to meditation to finances and much more

Next time you feel the head trash stacking up, remind yourself, you are “paying off that debt and putting forth a little extra effort because you see an end to the latest project.”

Your mind will always believe everything you tell it.  Feed it with what you want and not with what you don’t.

What are you thinking about?

Monday, June 25, 2018 Your thoughts control your destiny! "Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become  your destiny." - Mahatma Gandhi We tend to put a much higher premium on action than we do thought.  Though we've all heard the old adage, " it's the thought that counts ." Everyone knows that just thinking about something isn't the same as doing it.  Even people who get paid to think have to communicate those thoughts so that someone can act upon them.   However, your thoughts have more influence on your life than you might think. Yes, without action your thoughts may not be worth much, but in reality, it doesn't take much for your thoughts t

is fall in love with your work. Monday, June 4, 2018 Let’s Hear It For Monday! Thank goodness it’s Monday!  Yes, you read that right.  Many an innocent school child has said, “ Mondays are terrible, why do they have to be at the beginning of the week ”?  Unfortunately, children are not alone in this belief.  However, as children they don’t understand the concept of having control over how we view our circumstances.  It’s up to us to change the script and see the first day of the workweek in a new light. Here’s a new habit that will get you excited about Mondays and looking forward to the rest of the week: Treat yourself to one new personal risk. When writing out your list of goals for the week, make a point to set one aggressive personal goal such as; experimenting with a new recipe, reading a book or mastering a new exercise technique.  The point of this exercise is to provide you motivation during the week to pursue an interest that you enjoy.
