Thoughts become things... choose the good ones!
-Mike Dooley
This is a profound idea, one that demands our attention.
I’ve believed this concept since my early twenties, but I like to remind myself from time to time, because it’s very easy to overlook, doubt or forget that my mind has a power that I underestimate.
To that end, I’ve begun this new year drinking in the spirit of my dear friend, Tracey Walsh.
May we dream the world we want to live in...and then live that dream~
As 2024 begins, I’m enjoying the gentle reminders about life and my abilities to mark my path.
More and more now our thoughts become things rapidly. I remind clients, friends, family, and myself to be mindful of the words we choose, especially when describing ourselves; not to say I HAVE this or that diagnosis or malady but to say I AM EXPERIENCING. The difference is acceptance, I HAVE says I own this thing. I am experiencing, means I could use my free will to change my experience at any time now or in the future. <3 Thoughts most definitely do become things.
Sue, so timely for me. This is the exact same thought I had last night. As I have gotten older, many old memories keep popping into my head with little warning, and what's disappointing is that they have tended to lead to negative thinking. Last night I stopped and thought to myself, Enough! From now on, when these old memories come into my head, I'm gonna think about the positive things related to these memories. There is always something positive in every bad memory, and I'm going to start working on finding them.
