Change your Mind- Change your Life

My mom used to tell me, "change your mind, change your life." I always thought that was just ridiculous but now I believe it. I'd actually try to prove her wrong. I'd see someone and smile at them and usually they'd smile back. I'd act like I was having a blast and before long I was having a blast. It was just so weird.

Because of her, I've always been fascinated by the brain and its power. If you think positive your brain releases chemicals that make you feel good. If you think negative your brain releases chemicals that make you feel bad. It's as easy as that. Your brain creates pathways. If we replace every negative thought with a positive thought, overtime the positive thought pathways will become the pathway of choice for the brain. Strange huh?

Try this, for every negative thought that passes through your mind catch it and throw it in a "pretend trash can" in your brain....and replace that negative with a positive thought. Try this for a couple of weeks and see if your life doesn't start to change. My mom was right when she said, Change your mind, change your life...who knew? Hey, she was also right about my face sticking like that too- and I've got the little frown lines to prove it!

Now, here's a book I know you'll like....click here.
