“You are not a helpless victim of your own thoughts, but rather a master of your own mind.”
Louise Hay

This one is about changing the conversation with yourself, and about eliminating old harmful thoughts for new fresh and empowering ones

So next time you hear yourself say the thoughts in the red, change it to the ones in the black. Easy enough? Let practice be the teacher. Your job is to push gently – without forcing the issue – but to keep pushing, and to not lose persistence, and to be willing to change your life by starting with your thoughts.

Repeat them over and over, as long as it takes until they do replace the negative, disgusting, and black thoughts and start to shine their light on you.

1. I am not enough …. I have so much that it’s hard to believe I’ve been this fortunate. Don’t make me count them for you!

2. I don’t have enough I don’t see why I need to “have” in order to be happy when happiness stems from deep within.

3.  I am not pretty enough. ….. Oh I am plenty pretty, and the more I take care of me, the more beautiful I become.

4. I am not smart enoughI am smart enough to know that maybe I need to apply my smarts better or in a different place.

5. I don’t know how that works [computer, technology, a system, a tool, etc]I may not have the skills but I can learn, and learn anything I shall!

6. I am not tech savvy. … but so is no one else when they first start, don’t forget they didn’t become savvy overnight.

7. I doubt it will happen or come through…. I am counting on it happening and either way, I will be delighted with the outcome because something better will happen if this doesn’t come through.

8. I don’t think they will take me….. If they don’t feel I am right for them, then it’s best for both of us that they don’t take me. I trust they will make the right decision.

“Remember, you are the only person who thinks in your mind! You are the power and authority in your world.”
Louise Hay

9. I can’t survive without [a person, a pet, a friend that is lost]…. I am feeling lost and sad without [this person/pet] but I will heal and find inner peace again.

10. I am probably going to be rejected…. I have given it my all and I have a 100% chance of success, either by being accepted or by realizing that this is not the right thing at the right time for me.

11. I should’ve done it yesterday…. Today is a good time to do this.

12. I am broken…. I am healing every day and it’s an amazing process.

13. I am weak. …. I am stronger than I think.

14. I can’t possibly do that.…. How can I ever know the extent of my powers if I don’t first try. In fact, forget try. I am going to DO and find out next. Thank you, dear sweet Yoda.

15. I wish I wish I wish …. I can I will I shall.

16. I wish I could succeed like him/her …..I create my own success and I alone decide on the precise depth and length of that success.

17. I am too old for this stuff………What is getting in my way of learning this stuff and what does age have to do with learning?  [Just find some role models. There are 80-year-olds that are happier and more active than all of us. Why can't we do it with all this youth and abundance?]

“Know that you are the perfect age. Each year is special and precious, for you shall only live it once. Be comfortable with growing older.”
Louise Hay

18. I am too set in my ways …… I am willing to change. I am not an animal. I am a human being with intelligence, and I can change if I desire it.

19. I am not gifted like them.….. I bet I could surprise myself if I set my mind to it.

20. I wish I were rich………I am betting on creating my own wealth

21. I can always run out and get a job ….. I am going to make self-employment rock my world, it is my only choice and my only path so backup plans begone.

22. I am lucky if [followed generally by two dozen excuses]……… Oh I am so lucky to be and to exist and to have the blessing of life and the gift of freedom.

There are more thoughts. Thousands of more thoughts, but it’s impossible to list them all. It is better if you train yourself so that you can apply this change to every thought by using the examples above.

When you change your thoughts, you change your energy, your attitude, your outcomes and your life.

“You have the power to heal your life, and you need to know that. We think so often that we are helpless, but we’re not. We always have the power of our mind … Claim and consciously use your power.”
Louise Hay

So go ahead. Change ONE single thought from negative to purely positive. How does it feel? And what countless doors does it open in your mind and subsequently, in your life?
