So to start this week I want everyone (myself included) to try to remember to do the following:
1.Meditate
2.Exercise
3.Remember to smile
4.Change your tone of thoughts from negative to positive
5.Dont let negative thinking make you a victim.
6.Help someone (friend, family member)
7.Remember no one is perfect and let yourself move forward in a positive manner
8.Sing your favorite song
9.List 5 things you are grateful for and put them somewhere for you to see everyday
10.Read positive quotes or Bible scriptures
11. And most importantly PRAY!
*Watch your thoughts for they become words, Watch your words, they can become actions
Watch your actions, they can lead to habits, Watch those habits, because they can alter your character.
I really like the tools listed for Positive Thinking this week. Especially. "Watch your thoughts for they become words". I believe that is so true, as well as thinking negative can make you a victim. It seems that anytime you start thinking negative thoughts, nothing good comes out of it but negative actions. When you are constantly thinking negative, it can take a toll on your body causing several reactions, such as, depression, sick to your stomach, anger,and sometimes paranoia. The tools that Val listed are great, and there are several I will try to use this week.
ReplyDelete#4, #5, #7, #9, and last but most important #11.
I would definitely have to agree with #5, Don't let negative thinking make you a victim. '' I am very guilty of this. I spend so much time thinking about negative possibilities. Consuming my thoughts with "what if" scenarios. I have to gain back power, and I can only do this by Positive Thinking!
ReplyDeleteOne thing that I find to be helpful is replacing negative thoughts with positive ones whenever they show up in thoughts. Remembering to smile is a good one because just the act of smiling alone brings feelings of good energy and positivity. If I did anything this week it was remembering to smile.
ReplyDeleteSorry this late. I did make an attempt to get it in on time, and that's no excuse at all. I think my first attempted response was the most authentic and there is no way I can duplicate it, but in short, I truly like the don't let negative thoughts make you a victim. I believe we are often times victims of our own mind anyway. There are times when we truly may be a victim to something, and I'm not saying that's not possible. I just think that as we lean more to the negative thinking we incarcerate ourselves to just that.
