Contessa chats with Relational Trauma Recovery Expert, Dr. Sharice Bradford. Sharice why we don't believe in our own power and what to do about it. Here's a quote from her article in the Nov/Dec issue of MOD&ALT Health. Subscribe at ModAltHealth.com to read the full article. "Negativity can be pervasive and insidious. That is why it is extremely important to guard our minds as if our lives depended on it, in some cases it does. Many of us do not realize that thoughts are things, and once we put action behind those thoughts, they can and in most cases do become a reality. If we determine from the moment we get out of bed that it is going to be a bad day, then we have pretty much set the course for the day. If we only knew the power of our thoughts, we would understand how much control we had on certain outcomes in our lives.
