Rewiring Your Thoughts for a Magical Life

BY SUBHASHI TANIA DE SILVA

I love diving deep into the world of our internal chatter. Deeper we explore, we realise that we are not defined by the fleeting thoughts that flit through our minds. Even the darkest, most anxious thought doesn't make you a bad person – it's simply a blip on the radar of your consciousness.

The key here is awareness. Imagine your mind as a bustling marketplace. Thoughts are like the vendors – some hawk negativity, while others offer positive affirmations and solutions. By becoming more aware of these "thought vendors," you gain the power to choose who gets your attention.

So, what makes a "good" thought vendor? Here's my recipe:

• Awareness: This vendor acknowledges your current situation and emotions, offering a realistic perspective.
• Acceptance: This vendor validates your struggles, letting you know it's okay to be where you are.
• Action: This vendor doesn't dwell on problems; it offers practical steps to move forward.

Let me challenge you to shift your focus. Instead of getting bogged down by negativity, we can actively choose to see the good, the potential, and the love in the world. This isn't about blind optimism; it's about consciously cultivating a growth mindset.

The reward'll come as this mindset helps to unlock a treasure trove of potential within yourself. You'll realize how negativity held you back, while positive thinking becomes the engine that propels you forward.

For now, I wanted to leave you with a powerful metaphor: Your mind is a creation machine. Every thought you think shapes your reality. So why not choose thoughts that stimulate magic into your life? By taking charge of your internal marketplace, you can create a world filled with well-being, for yourself and for those around you.
