It all begins & ends in your mind. What you give power to, has power over you, if you allow it. Perspective is everything! The mind is a powerful tool - so use it to your advantage. In order to do this, we must get in the habit of thinking consciously - if you're in the grocery store, how many isles have you walked down? What have you placed in your cart? If you're driving home, how many red lights have you stopped at? Often, we busy buzz through our days, we let positive and negative thoughts pass through our heads but sometimes, we get too stuck on the negatives. Why is that? Our perspective and because we're not in the habit of thinking consciously. When you begin to live consciously and avoid confirmation bias, your brain becomes a powerful tool. Can I use positive thoughts to become a professional athlete? Realistically, no. But I can use positive thoughts to aide in a healthy body and overcome things like anxiety.
I try and live in a state where I am thinking consciously. If I wake up and decide that I'm going to be tired and the day is going to be rough - then it will be. But if I wake up and reflect on how fortunate I am and thankful I am - I will inspire others and have a wonderful day. You decide.
"What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind." - Buddha
