🚀 Scary or mind-blowing? Either way, you are what you think. Like it or not, you are the result of your thoughts. So logically, if you change your thoughts, you should be able to change you. Think back on your life and you will see that many things you dwelt on with emotion came true whether it was positive or negative. Our thoughts are the Lego blocks of our life. 💭🌟
So, now you have the key. You can have, be, and do everything you’ve ever wanted. Are you ready to use the power of your thoughts to create the life you desire? 🔑💪
The problem is that we are so conditioned to be accepting of the negative. Have you ever been told any or maybe even all of these? 🚫😞
- “Life is hard – better get tough” 😡
- “Be a good child and do what I tell you to do” 🛑
- “Who asked you to think?” 🤔
- “Who asked for your opinion?” 🤷♀️
- “You are such a loser for failing” 😔
- “Money doesn’t grow on trees” 💸🌳
- “Rich people are unhappy” 😞💰
- “Money is the root of all evil” 😈💰
And a whole heap of other things. The average toddler hears the word ‘no’ 400 times a day. And all this from well-meaning adults. It’s no wonder that we all quickly have little to no self-esteem, and start creating our lives from a negative point of view. 🌧️
What if you had the point of view that the world is conspiring to give you everything you want; and what you want starts in your head. Your thoughts create your feelings which are then reflected in your actions. It all starts with your thoughts. All you are and all you have is the direct result of your thoughts. 💡🌍
Here are 3 steps to help you develop positive thoughts and patterns to change you into who you really want to be. 🌈
1. Become aware of your existing thought patterns 🧠💭
In “The Strangest Secret,” Earl Nightingale states “we become what we think about most of the time”, so the first step is to start becoming aware of what we think about. We need to be present with ourselves and catch those negative thoughts. If you were to spend two days paying attention to your thoughts, it will become clear just how many negative thoughts you have! 💡🌱
A study conducted by the National Science Foundation indicates that we could have anywhere from 12,000 to 50,000 thoughts a day and 80% of our thoughts are negative. That means you are only living to 20% of your potential. That is an awful realization! 🤯
Once you become aware of your thoughts, you can make yourself think a positive thought. An easy way to think something positive is to be grateful. Start with the most mundane thing you can think of to be grateful. 🙏🌟
Another way to think a positive thought is to reframe the negative thought you just had. For example, if you think “my job sucks” or “I hate my job” change that thought to “I am grateful I have this job as it helps me pay my bills”. This is a small step in the right direction and with each thought you change it gets easier to change. 🔄💪
2. Make the awareness a habit 🔄💡
The more you practice changing negative thought patterns, the faster you can catch a negative thought and replace it. Do this regularly and consistently, and it will become a habit. Give it the focus and it can become an autonomic habit like breathing. 🌬️💭
The more you think a certain way, the more likely you are to keep thinking that way. And as you change your negative thought patterns, you will find that your emotions also become more positive, your outlook on life and all the situations you find yourself in becomes positive and that creates positive results. The habit of thinking positive thoughts helps you activate the universal law of vibration, where you and everything you desire are on the same frequency and manifesting it is natural and easy. 🌟🔄
It is not an easy journey to develop the habit of positive thinking, but you have the choice to create the life you want and undoing the millions of negative thoughts is just a part of the process. You will come to realize though that it is something well worth the effort! 💪🌟
3. Seek the support of like-minded individuals 👥💫
If it is a hard journey, how can you make it easier for yourself? Simple. Find people who are positive and move into their circle. Attend as many courses and read as many books on self-development as you can. Be open to the positive energy. 🌟📚
You could also get yourself a Coach. A Life Coach will help you focus on your change without lingering on every incident in your past. You will learn how to move forward in the fastest way possible, all by using the power of your thoughts. 💭🚀
Hopefully, you agree with the logic of how you are the result of your thoughts. You can help yourself to move from victim to victory. All the power is between your ears. 💪🌟
So, what are you waiting for? Even if you don’t quite believe in it, why don’t you pretend and practice this for just 30 days – give it one month to see if your life changes. What have you got to lose? Nothing but fear, pessimism, and everything negative. What have you got to gain? A life your future you will thank you for. 🚀🌟
