Watch Your Thoughts


You and I are not what we eat; we are what we think.  
~Walter Anderson, The Confidence Course, 1997


Watch Your Thoughts
Your thoughts are powerful.  Probably a lot more powerful than you can imagine.  Your thoughts shape how you feel about yourself, others and even the world.  Your thoughts create your life.  Really? That might be what you are thinking right about now.  The answer is yes, they really do!  Most of us spend time thinking about what we don't want.  Our thoughts are based from a place of fear not from a place of love.  


Example:
"I just know I won't be able to sleep tonight, I never sleep ok.  
What I would give for one night of restful sleep." 
vs.
"I am safe and secure.  My body is at rest and at peace.  I am going to have a peaceful night".


See the difference?  If we monitor our thoughts, we can shape our outcomes.  During the day, really pay attention to your thoughts and see if you need to reshape them.  The great thing about having a thought is that you are the gatekeeper of them.  If you are having a negative thought or one based on fear, well cancel it out and replace it with one that is coming from a place of love.  By taking ownership back over your thoughts, you start to create the life you were meant to live.
