I don’t want to gloat or seem cocky, but I LOVE MY JOB! I love that I have so many people that come into my life and bring in a new perspective. It is truly a blessing that my clients come in to me to get motivated to change their life and in turn they change mine. How cool is that?? Yesterday, my client brought in the book Secret by Rhonda Byrne. I told her last week she needs to read the book, and she was so excited that she brought it in to show me. This book I recommend to my clients because if you change your thoughts to the positive, you feel better, you think clearer, and when you have positive thoughts, positive things come your way. For instance, that is why people tend to spiral if they stub their toe out of bed. Their whole day goes like that. I know I have had days like that, but as soon as it starts I know I need to switch those thoughts and as soon as I do my day turns around. Pessimists are more inwardly focused and have more depression, anxiety and other mental health problems in general. Positive people have a greater capacity for love, joy and warmth that brings happiness into their lives, and also into the lives of their families and everyone else around them. This increased capacity for love means that they are loved more in return because they are more outwardly focused, kinder and more considerate to others. For me since changing my mindset, I have better health, better joy in every aspect in of my life. Don’t get me wrong I have those days too, but with practice it is getting better. If you tend to have a negative outlook, don’t expect to become an optimist overnight. But with practice and focus, you will automatically move away from self-criticism and toward self-acceptance. You will likely find yourself feeling less critical of the world around you as well. Practicing positive self-talk will improve your outlook. As your state of mind becomes increasingly more optimistic, you will be able to handle everyday stress in a more constructive way. So, what do you think? Can positive thinking really improve your life? Well, let’s see; less stress, happier disposition, better health, and greater success – sounds pretty conclusive to me. How about you?
