Your Habits of Thinking

“Habits of thinking need not be forever. One of the most significant findings in psychology in the last twenty years is that individuals can choose the way they think.”~Martin Seligman

Did you realize that? Habits of thinking need not be forever! How freeing is that statement? What new thought could you be thinking right now?

You can choose the way you think! You don't have to listen to the thoughts that are in your mind right now, unless you want to...If you choose to stay stuck in the negative thoughts that surround you, you can...but IT IS YOUR CHOICE!

Here's the challenge: 80% of the thoughts that we have today are the same thoughts that we had yesterday. That can be a little depressing until you realize that you can choose to think what you want to think, not just what comes into your mind! Of those repeat 80% of our thoughts, 85% of those are NEGATIVE! Wow, we are thinking the same thing day after day and most of the things that we are thinking are negative!!!

But there is a way out of this negative Merry-go-round. You can choose your thoughts. You can choose your thoughts. You can choose your thoughts. Choose new thoughts, NOW! You have the power! Choose.
