Description

Start Your Transformation Now


When you think of spending and investing, what do you think of?



Most of us think of investing as a good and smart thing, and spending, especially excessively, as a bad thing. Right?



How about we put this into a new perspective?



How about your thoughts, thinking, and emotions? What if we put the old-fashioned “swear jar” on the counter, as a metaphor? With the “swear jar,” each time you said a bad word you have to put a dollar into it. And, of course, this means there is a cost to using bad words. Actually, there is a loss of that dollar from your pocket.



Now, what about your thoughts? What if all disempowering, fearful, and negative thoughts cost you? And, the reverse, all positive thoughts were an investment in a better quality of life?



What if every time you had a negative thought and got into fear you spent your life and when you were positive in your thinking you were investing in your life?



In this episode, I talk about a few strategies to interrupt your negative thoughts. These steps are:



Awareness
Conscious choice to move your attention
Where to move your attention and moving it
Gratitude
And, Repetition



When you practice what you’re going to learn in this episode it can make a huge difference in your life.




Listen, apply, and enjoy!
