Powerful Thinking

“I’m good enough. I’m smart enough. And doggone it, people like me.” There so much information out there about positive thinking that we tend to have limiting and judgmental views about it. That’s why I focus on Powerful Thinking. Powerful Thinking is choosing thoughts that empower and support who you want to be in the life you desire to live.

Our minds are incredibly powerful and great at making up stories in a lot of detail; however, most of it contains a lot of drama and chaos which doesn’t tend to feel too good. These stories are based on our beliefs we hold and our past experiences. What our minds tend to do is to take a fact, event or circumstance (which is a truth that could be proven in a court of law) such as I weigh 153lbs and make it mean something to us like I’m so fat. I have personally done this in my life so many times with so many different things not just around what I weigh.

When I was younger I used to weigh myself all the time and the number on the scale read so many different numbers from 160, 132, to 110 (at one point it even read 98). Whatever the number on the scale was I continued for a long time to tell the same story about it — something like “I’m still so fat, I’m never going to be skinny enough, I can’t do anything right, I’m always going to be fat no matter what I do, I hate my body.” At that time in my life if I would have just tried to think positively about the number on the scale it wouldn’t have worked because I truly believed what I was telling myself was just the truth.
