Be Mindful Of Your Mind

Be Mindful Of Your Mind

What do you say when you talk to yourself?

You may not be doing it out loud, but there’s a conversation going on 24 x 7 inside your head.

Scientists say we have around 60,000 thoughts a day, with 75% of them being repeats. Of those, the majority are negative and playing in an endless loop.

Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts.?

The Buddha said that thousands of years ago.? Negative self-talk is nothing new.

So, how do we stop this self-destructive behavior and turn it around for our own good. Here’s a few ways that have helped me, and I hope they help you. Warning: The first one’s the most difficult.

  1. Catch yourself in the act. This requires being mindful and paying attention.? A mindfulness meditation practice can help.
  2. Challenge that thought. Once you catch your negative thought ask yourself, Is this really true?
  3. Turn it around. Reframe that negative thought. For example, turn “I can’t bring in new business.” To “I’ve brought in new business in the past, and I can do it again.” Then repeat that three times.
  4. Finally, take action on the new and positive thought.

Your thoughts are feeding your mind information on what to believe, which determines how you feel, and then what action needs to be taken.

By understanding the framework of negative self-talk and implementing the strategies I listed, you can break free from its grip and cultivate a more positive and successful you.

So, here’s your Action Item and Mission, should you decide to accept it: Got some negative thought-trash that needs to be taken out?

Grab just one of those dream killers, kick it out, and replace it with a more positive one. You will think more positively, which lead to feeling more positive, and of course, acting in a more positive and successful way.

Remember, you are capable of great things. Turn your thinking around and watch your life transform.

You can do this! ??
