Optional
Sometimes I forget that thoughts are optional. But they are. I forget I get to choose to think whatever I want. Sometimes I want to think sad depressing things and other times I want to think more positive happy thoughts. Neither is right nor wrong. It’s a choice we get to make. Lucky us! More times than I’d like, my thoughts aren’t serving me. I think thoughts that are making me feel or act in a way that I don’t care for. In these moments I have a choice : A.

Feeling Joy!
“The JOY we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.” -Russell M.

Me Party
We all host them from time to time. The type of party we throw just special for ourselves and all our problems. Most of the time we don’t even recognize we’re in the middle of this festivity. We see it as our life (or the people in it) is really hard, difficult, and unfair. We may see ourselves as not enough or not having enough. Sometimes this party shows up as resentment or jealousy or sadness. This is not a fun party to attend. It does nothing to serve us. Today, I’m going to share with you 5 ways to break up a pity party.

life-changing thoughts
We choose every thought we think. And we can create any thought we want. -Carol Tuttle I didn’t learn this principle until I was in my late 30’s, and it has literally changed my life.
