It is Monday...a new day, a new week, a new opportunity to be great, and create what you want.
Today I choose to accept who I am and where I am now. Today I will get in touch with how I feel about myself and give myself the opportunity to change the thoughts that may be holding me back.
Your Body is One Thing, Your Brain is Another.
Are you aware of how your thoughts make you feel about yourself?
Do you know how you think about yourself directly affects the outcome of your daily life?
Do your attitudes and personal beliefs shape your outlook on life negatively or positively?
Our thoughts are a window into how we conceive of ourselves — our strengths and weaknesses, our limitations and aspirations. Our thoughts create our feelings that determine our successes. And yet most of the time we float from one activity to the next head down and scowling without considering that we can choose to think in a more positive way and take control of the outcome.
Many of us get caught in the cycle of critical thoughts about ourselves that wear away our self esteem. The more we become conscious about these negative thoughts, the more we can choose not to believe them and take back the control from the negative view for a positive outcome.A few things to think about when you are faced with an intense thought/emotion that may lead you to react negatively:
• Stop. Be aware of your negative thoughts, how you feel and what you want to do.
• Don't react. Sit with your thoughts for 1 minute.
• Think of a positive thought (Favourite movie clip/line, trip, moment etc.)
• Reinforce your confidence and acknowledge your accomplishments. (You are smart, successful and happy!!)
Once you stop and think in a more positive way, you are taking the first step to initiate change.
Keep in mind that the above is a fluid process; it doesn't have a beginning or an end. It is about being conscious and living each moment of every day with eyes, heart and mind open to positive thoughts.
Cheers :)
