One Minute Coach - 3

Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

Remember, happiness doesn’t depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think.
–Dale Carnegie (1888-1955)

No one is in control of your happiness but you. Therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change. Barbara De Angelis (relationship guru and best-selling author)

Did you know that your brain can hold only one bit of information in any given moment?

This is a very important fact. Why?

Because if you are focusing on something negative and unpleasant, then everything positive that you are experiencing in your life is lost at that moment.

And there is always something positive in your life, if you only look for it. It is your choice!

Action Steps

Next time you catch yourself thinking a negative thought or picturing a negative outcome … stop!

Erase that negative thought and that picture, and replace it with what you want to happen.

Here are some ways to do it:

1. Mentally delete the unwanted information, as if it were on a computer screen. See the blank page, and design a positive picture for the desired outcome.

2. Imagine the image is on a regular piece of paper. See yourself as you tear that paper into tiny little pieces. Then, take out a new paper, and paint a new image.

3. Another approach is to rewind the “old message” or the memory of what has happened and then record a new, more positive version over it.

Eventually, you will discover your own personal way of replacing negative thoughts and visions with positive ones that work best for you [Taken from the One Minute Coach - Masha Malka]
