Have you ever come across the concept that your thoughts
create your life?
It’s a long held belief of many that our
thoughts determine how we feel, what words we say, how we behave and also what we
have or don’t have in our lives. For example take the person who thinks they’re a failure,
as a result of thinking of themselves in this way they feel like they won’t
succeed. By feeling this way it impacts their behaviour as they don’t put in
the effort they would otherwise put in because they believe there’s no point.
Their negative attitude and lack of effort leads to them not performing as well
as they could which in turn reinforces their thinking that they’re a failure
and so the self-perpetuating cycle is created. Can you relate to this in some
way?
However, just by changing the way you think you can change
any aspect of your life which
is not making you happy. In the example above, if
the person who feels like a failure changed their thoughts so that they thought of themselves as successful at
everything they do and learn at every opportunity, they create a positive
outlook on life. This positive attitude means that they try their best at
everything in order to get the best possible results which gives them a sense
of achievement, it makes them feel good about themselves and in turn this leads
to them thinking that they thrive in life. A new self-perpetuating cycle is
created but this time it’s a positive one. It really is that simple!
Become aware of where your negative thoughts are not serving
you and try thinking the opposite, positive thoughts instead. Indulge yourself with
this new positive thought and notice how it feels if the positive thought were
true.
You always have a choice; you can either think a negative
thought or a positive one, either way you’re going to think one so why not choose
the positive thought instead?
