Every person has about a million and one thoughts that race through their head everyday. Some thoughts come and go, and others seem to take the forefronts of our minds.
Our thoughts have no boundaries. They can range from what kind of coffee you'll order at Starbucks to examining the million possible reasons why your boyfriend broke up with you.
Thoughts can also be positive or negative.
Some or our thoughts are happy and make us feel good, but have you noticed how the majority thoughts default as negative?
The reason why that guy cut you off earlier? You were in his way. Your default thought was that his road rage was your fault, when the real reason was he was running late to work.
If something bad happens, we like to blame the cause on ourselves. We like to thought spiral and go down the rabbit hole in our negativity.
It doesn't have to be this way.
It is possible to rewire your mind to default to positive thoughts, but you have to be willing to put in the work.
It's also not going to happen right away.
You first have to realize the thoughts you are having, and separate them from yourself before you can examine them. You also have to know that you aren't going to be perfect at this, and probably never will be.
Then, you can begin to turn the tables on whatever situation you're in.
You'd be surprised by the world of a difference positive thinking can create.
