How to Reinvent Your Life in 7 Easy Steps
The Key to Reinventing Your Life: CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS, CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!! Part 2
In my last post, I shared an exercise to start the process of changing your thoughts to develop a Positive Mindset.
Here are the 3 Things You Must Know to Move Forward:
Who determines the thoughts that we think? No matter what “programming” has happened in the past, the only one who chooses what we think is ourselves! This is a very empowering realization, because…
If we are the ones who think the thoughts, then we, and only we, have the power to change those thoughts. No matter how old you may be, and consequently how long you have been thinking a certain way, you can decide or choose the thoughts you think.
If you want to feel better, if you want to solve problems positively, choose empowering and uplifting thoughts. When you change what you say to yourself, that is, changing your thoughts, you begin to rewire your brain, and thereby change how you feel, and consequently how you react, respond, and act. This is the reinvention process to developing a positive mind set.
Let’s revisit the previous exercise to really practice this
1. What is the SAME situation/circumstance/interaction/event that you chose previously? (factually and objectively)
2. What could I say/think to myself that would offer a more helpful and uplifting perception of that situation?
3. How can I see this situation as a learning opportunity or a gift?
4. As I say those words to myself, how am I now feeling emotionally?
5. How am I now feeling physically?
6. How am I now acting, behaving or how would I anticipate that I will now act and behave as a result?
Check yourself.
Are you now more in alignment with your Sage, your vision of your Truest Self? Do you feel a sense of expansion, empowerment, or joy? A sense of calm, clear-headed, or creative ficus? If so, you are now on your way to living life with a positive mindset no matter what challenges you may face.
Do you realize how powerful this ability is? It means that the ability to reinvent yourself lies within you! No one else can make you think, feel or do anything – it’s all up to you!
