New Year, New You – 2 Steps To Having A Successful 2016


I have been off a week here and have been doing some thinking as to where I would like this blog to go in the New Year.  I am passionate about health and wellness 360 degrees – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.  I am also passionate about helping others live healthy and wealthy lives, all 360 degrees.

There are many blogs on healthy eating, about products, oils and supplements.  I feel more led to focus on personal growth and our mindset.  If we are not healthy in these areas, there is little hope for health in other areas. 

We need to be encouraged, inspired and challenged to be the best that we can be and to strive to reach the desires and goals we have for life, whether they be personal, spiritual, relational, or financial.


2 Steps For A Successful 2016

1)    Take Your Thoughts Captive!

If you can take your thoughts captive and control what you think about and how you think about it, you will control many results.  You need to realize that only you are in control of what you think about and how your feel.  Circumstance does not force you to feel a certain way.  You choose how you want to feel.  

The powerful decision comes not only when you choose to not think negatively, but when you choose to think positively!  You must replace negative thoughts with positive ones.  This can be hard work at times, but you must be willing to do this with every thought if you want to have a more successful 2016.


2)    Choose a Positive Attitude!

A positive attitude will bring positive results!  Your attitude will not only control your life and your destiny, but it will control the journey, making it pleasant or unbearable.

Your attitude will make you or break you in every area of your life.  It is the foundation for every success or every failure you have.

Your actions are created by the attitude you choose to have.  If you choose to have a negative attitude about a situation, you most likely will not put much thought into making needed changes for a better outcome.  You will spend your thoughts and time complaining rather than choosing positives thoughts and taking positive actions that will, in the end, give you better results.

So, we could say, what you think is what you get.  If you choose a bad attitude enough times, you will expect failure.  On the other hand, if you choose to have a positive attitude, even when things don’t go your way, you will enjoy the journey much more and you will just step over the obstacle and continue towards your desired results.

Your thoughts will become like a magnet for either failure or success.  When you get what you are expecting, this will reinforce your positive or negative beliefs.

Positive and Negative thoughts become habitual when you continually think a certain way.  Reflect on where your thoughts tend to wander, especially if a challenging situation arises.  It is easy to be positive when everything is going great.  It is in the time of trials and tribulation that our true character is manifested.

Shift your thinking and create a positive attitude!  Analyze every thought you think until positive thinking becomes habit.

When you take control of your attitude, you will take control of your results!
