How To Change Your Thoughts In 3 Simple Steps

The quality of your life is reflective of the quality of your thoughts.

Are you a glass is half full or half empty person?

Your thoughts create your life. Do you believe people are out to get you?

Then that’s the experience you’ll have.

Or do you believe that people go out of their way to help you? If so, you’ll notice people showing up to help.

Which are you most like?

You choose what you think. You are either consciously creating your thoughts or passively reacting to the habit of thinking. What do you spend the majority of your time thinking about? Is it positive or negative?

You can change your thoughts and focus in 3 simple steps.

  1. Make your success list! Think of all the best moments of your life. How did they feel? What were those moments you were at your best or succeeded? Now on a separate sheet of paper write down all your failures. How many have you overcome or turned around? Those get added to your success list too.
  2. Make your joy list. Write down everything that brings you joy or makes you happy. Take a few uninterrupted moments to do this. Now write the percentage of time you spend doing these activities. This is only a gauge to know where you are starting. Now mark your top 5 activities. Put them on your calendar.
  3. Make your laughter list. There will most likely be overlap here. Think about everything that makes you laugh and write out this list; Friends, activities, things you find funny. What about movies, comedians, or books? What we are doing is creating a menu of things you can do when you have pockets of time and need to laugh.
