Thoughts-> emotion -> behaviour -> action -> habits -> results
It all starts with your thoughts
Your brain has the ability to visualize both the past and future. This means we’re not only able to relive bad experiences from our past but also imagine worst case outcomes that haven’t even happened yet
Your mind doesn’t distinguish between what’s imagined and what’s real. When you repeatedly think about stressful situations or dwell on negativity, your body reacts as if those scenarios are actually happening. You have the power to turn on the stress response with your thoughts alone
Unfortunately, our brains are wired to focus on the negative, imagining worst case scenarios, worrying and sabotaging ourselves
When you’re constantly visualizing stress or living with a negative mindset, your body struggles to escape fight or flight mode. Instead of being relaxed, your brain keeps releasing stress hormones to protect you from the perceived danger even if it doesn’t exist
However, a stressed mind and a grateful mind can’t exist at the same time
If your thoughts can make you sick, they can also heal you. By changing your focus to positive thoughts you can help your body relax, reduce stress, and heal. It starts with bringing awareness to your thoughts and consciously choosing to focus on what uplifts you
