Penned Thoughts - 8/17/21

Our thoughts lead to our words which drive our actions/deeds. Right now, in this moment, how would you rate yourself? If your gut reaction is “10!!” you’re probably having a great day, spreading positivity and sunshine to those around you and accomplishing just about everything on your to-do list.

You believe that you’re a rock star, that you can and will do things, even hard things, to the best of your ability. Your perception of yourself pours out into everything you say and do.

However, what about when your thoughts are not so good? What are the words you say to yourself (in your head or out loud?) And what impact does that have on your actions? Do you withdraw? Not try something for fear of making mistakes? Hide your light under a bushel??

Consider that thoughts happen quickly and often and lead to our words and reactions. So, be mindful and aware, especially when you are hesitating, and ask; “How could I look at this thought differently? How can I reframe it?” And see what happens when you do.
