Are you thinking you could or are you thinking you will?
Are you thinking I can’t or are you thinking I can?
Are you thinking it’s a long shot or are you thinking it’s within reach?
Are you thinking it won’t work or are you thinking it will?
Are you thinking the answer will be no or are you thinking it will be yes?
Are you thinking you the worst or are you thinking you the best?
Are you thinking failure or are you thinking success?

Are you thinking good things?

If not, I highly recommend you do because you’ll be more likely to achieve outcomes you’re wanting and you’ll enjoy the process of getting there so much more too.

Need a ‘postivity make-over’?
Check out the book called ‘Positivity’ in the ‘Smiler’s Amazon carousel – it will help OR I can !

Every day you have thousands and thousands of thoughts and every one of those thoughts has an affect on your feelings and behaviour at some level.  I feel confident in assuming that, like millions of other people, a lot of the thoughts floating around your head are ‘negative’. Negative thoughts are extremely unhelpful because they don’t make you feel good about yourself, they don’t inspire you to takes steps towards your goals and dreams and they don’t  foster respectful loving relationships in your life. They’re just plain trouble.

Point: Every unhelpful thought can be swapped with a helpful thought.

Positive thoughts, on the other hand are helpful. They are the thoughts which boost your self esteem, energy and drive. They’re the ones which keep you connected to and moving towards your visions for the future. And they’re the thoughts which help you manage your health and your relationships with compassion and respect. They make you smile more, inside and out!

Nutshell: Take the time, make the effort, do the work – swap your unhelpful thoughts for helpful ones and smile more.

Who’s looking after you my friend?
You I hope.
I hope you are looking after yourself because it is your responsibility.

It’s up to you to make sure you exercise regularly. Yes, I know your spouse never gets home in time and/or your job keeps sabotaging your ‘me time’ but it doesn’t make it their fault that you’re not active. Get committed. Where there’s a will…

It’s up to you to make sure you eat well. Yes, I know time is tight and there are tempting and convenient fast food options everywhere but is that really going to provide you with the energy and stamina you need to complete your ‘to do list’ each day? Get organised in the morning and fill a cool pack with all the food you need for the day. It will save you hundreds of dollars and tens of thousands of calories!

It is only you who can think good things about yourself and your life. It’s up to you to turn a negative in to a positive, to find opportunity in adveristy, to seek the good in everyone and to take steps to reach your pot of gold. Be proactive not reactive.

In a nutshell: Exercise, eat well, think good things – the mantra of self care. Live by it daily and you’ll always be smiling.
