Edit Your Thoughts – 3 Game Changing Mental Activities
We all allow negative thoughts to creep in from time to time. But, it is our choice whether they stay or not. I read once that negative thoughts use the same mental real estate as the positive ones do. That painted a good picture of the space in my mind. I only have so much space and I need to decide what is going to be allowed in.
Positive and negative thoughts take up the same space, but they do not bring the same value or hold the same importance. You wouldn’t leave your garbage laying around your kitchen day in and day out, so why would you leave negative thoughts in your mind?
Practice These 3 Mental Activities And Change Your Game
1) Eliminate Stinkin’ Thinkin’ – Just as you take the trash out when it starts to smell, do the same when stinky thoughts enter you mind. Do not let them occupy the space because when they do, usually your results show what you mind has been occupied with. Spending time identifying the reasons why something can’t be done will never help you get it done.
2) Have A Positive Outlook – Once the negative thoughts are out, you must fill that space with positive thoughts or there will be room for more negative ones to creep back in. Once you have stopped complaining about a problem, think how you might be able to solve it. You need to look for solutions if you ever hope to move towards your goals or get over a hump in the road. Just getting rid of the negative thoughts will not move you forward. Replace them with positive, constructive thoughts.
3) Drive Your Actions With Your Thoughts – Since your thoughts drive the actions you take, make sure your thoughts are going to take you where you want to go. You will get superior results if you have superior thoughts. If you get a flat tire and sit in the car hitting the wheel cussing, it won't change the fact that you have a flat and the tire needs to be changed. It would be better to stop and think, "Where is my spare?" or, "Do I need to call for assistance?" The faster you change your thinking, the faster you will be back driving down the road.
If you edit your thoughts, you will accomplish more; and the quicker you choose to get rid of negative thinking and bring positive, constructive thoughts is, the quicker you will meet your deadline and reach your goals. Change your mental activity and you will change your game!
