DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER?
How many times you may have heard a thesis: "If you want to change your life for the better, change your thoughts?"
My question is: “Have you tried to change your thoughts? Any luck?” ??
You may probably hear that changing your thoughts, all you need to do is to stop dwelling on the negative, comparing yourself to others, gossiping, and complaining.
It seems that it is not so difficult. Isn’t it? Moreover, you may believe, really sincerely, that you think exclusively in a positive way.
I don’t know how about you, but for me and many of my clients, changing to think positively comes with a challenge.

Today, I would like to share with you one of the most popular, affordable, and easy-to-follow test which will help you rebuild your thought process.
In 2006, Will Bowen suggested putting on a purple bracelet and honestly carrying it on one arm for 21 days without complaint. Every time, you catch yourself thinking or saying anything negative, you must switch the bracelet to another hand and do that repeatedly until you are able to wear it on the same hand without thinking or saying anything negative about anyone or anything, including self.
From psychology, purple symbolizes wisdom, and 21 days are needed for any habit to become stronger in the subconscious.
Bowen himself wrote that he managed to do this only after 3 months, and most people come to this result after 5-6 months. For the first few weeks, the bracelet “wanders” from hand to hand 10-20 times a day, then once a day, and after a few months, it can last a whole week on one hand.
Do you dare to challenge yourself and see if the world will transform beyond recognition in 21 days? If so, get a purple bracelet, and let’s get started! In case, you find yourself struggling with this test, I have plenty of others to offer you to help you change your thinking. All you need to do is to jump on a 30-minute discovery call with me and start the journey to a life where you feel more satisfied with self and the world around you.
