Change The Way You Think

If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it,

change the way you think about it.  ~Mary Engelbreit

You are the only one that limits your ability to change the world in which you live.  You limit yourself by how you think. You change the world with action but if you are unwilling to act then change your thinking.   Dwelling on things you are unwilling to change wastes energy, time and brain power.  However, if you are going to make change happen...begin today.  Right now. 

AFFIRMATION - say: "I will begin to change today or I will take control on how I think about the things I "think" cannot change."

Post Crisis Review

A leader or a man of action in a crisis almost always acts subconsciously and

then thinks of the reasons for his action.  ~Jawaharlal Nehru

If I could change this quote, I would substitue "acts" for" reacts" and "action" for "reaction."    Research shows that people don't think as well when they feel there is a threat.   How many times have you said or done things you wish you could take back?  Instead of beating yourself up or justifing yourself - learn from your mistakes and apologize, if neccessary.  Humans can't always help themselves from being reactionary but we can help how we think and behave after each crisis.  And we can work on improving going forward.

 

AFFIRMATION - say: "I will learn from my reactions and

try to do better today and in the future."
