We Choose Our Thoughts

Hey everyone

I was reading one of my favourite self help books the other night and found a passage that was so inspiring to me.

Your mind is a very powerful weapon, it determines your actions and thoughts. When something bad happens to you, it is normally due to you having a negative thought, the more you think that thought, the more you are going to think that your mind has to think that thought, but that is not true because believe it or not, your mind has chosen to think that thought. I used to be the type of person that thought negative thoughts, I still am sometimes, that is mostly due to anxiety but I am working on changing this through self help books, Reiki, using my family as positive influences and thinking correctly.

If you want something positive to happen then you need to choose to think a positive thought, because at the end of the day, your life is made up of “mind over matter”.

For example; if you think to yourself “I am going to pass my English exam” then you will most likely pass it, if you believe it fully. If you think to yourself “I am not going to pass this English exam” then the chances of you passing are very slim. My dad always says that anything you say after the words “I am” will happen. If you say something negative after those words then something negative will happen, if you think something positive after those words then something positive will happen.

When you wake up in the morning, you should start the day with at least 1 positive thought.
