Pause for a moment. What were the thoughts running through your head a minute ago? How did that thought make you feel?brbrIt is very important that we realize the relationship between our thoughts and the way we feel. Did you know that we are constantly thinking? Take breathing for example. Unless we feel that we are running out of breath, we simply forget that we breathe automatically.brbrThinking works the same way. Since we are always doing it, it is easy to forget that it is happening. To think is to create. Everything starts in the mind. What happens first before the feeling of anger sets in? Angry thoughts precede anger. Have you tried getting angry when you don’t have any anger thoughts? Try to feel sad without sad thoughts. It is just not possible! In order to experience a feeling, we must first have the thought that induces that feeling. Happiness cannot exist alone. It is the result of positive thinking. This simple awareness is the first step in putting us back on the path to a href=http://www.findthewaytohappiness.com target=’_blank’find happiness/a.brbrWe should never underestimate the power of a simple thought. It may seem so innocent and fleeting; yet, it has energy that can cause great impact on our mind, body, and emotions.brbrLet us think of a lemon. Imagine cutting it in half and smelling it. Now, think about squeezing the juice from the lemon into your mouth and feel those bits of pulp bursting inside. Most of us will surely feel our salivary glands responding to the thought of lemon.brbrIndeed, what we are thinking can greatly influence our emotions. Think of someone you love. What do you feel? Now think of someone you hate. What do you feel? We don’t have to change our emotions consciously ndash; just change our thoughts and our emotions will immediately follow. Notice that when we focus our minds on positive things, we feel better, whereas when think negative thoughts, we feel bad. Positive thoughts yield positive results. These thoughts make us more loving and caring, resulting to good health, wealth, and happiness. On the other hand, negative thoughts produce negative results. These types of thoughts result to indifference, disease, fear and misery, etc. In other words, our thoughts create our reality. So be aware of what you’re thinking. The next time you feel a little low, stop and consider what you were thinking to trigger that feeling and make the necessary change. Itrsquo;s not going to happen immediately but with practice, we can control the direction our thoughts take.brbrWouldnrsquo;t it be great if we can have good thoughts throughout the day?brbrHowever, that is just not possible, is it? The negative thoughts have a way of slipping in unnoticed throughout the day. Negative thinking can kill just like a cancer! It can destroy and kill our whole future. Negative thoughts affect the mind, body, and emotions.brbrOur thoughts produce our feelings. We get angry by having angry thoughts. It is impossible to feel sad without sad thoughts. Unhappiness does not and cannot exist on its own. Unhappiness is a feeling that comes with negative thinking. So how do we get rid of the negative thoughts in our heads? Stop thinking about them! Our negative feelings are results of our own negative thinking. Apart from refraining to think about negative thoughts, we can turn negative thoughts into positive ones.br brOne effective technique is to learn a whole new set of happy words. These words evoke positive feelings. Other studies refer to these as ldquo;Positive Adjectives Listrdquo; from The Apache Method (The Antidotal Positive Adjectives Character and Happiness Enhancement Method).brbrAccording to this particular study, which is based on Emmet Velton’s classic paper, ldquo;There has been a body of research empirically validating our ability to positively or negatively change our moods by reading phrases like ldquo;I feel very goodrdquo; or ldquo;I am afraid.rdquo;brbrSo, how do we go about dislodging thoughts of unhappiness? brbr1. Be aware. We have to catch ourselves when we are about to indulge in negative thinking. In the first few days, we have to be very vigilant. brbr2. The moment we feel the onset of an unpleasant emotion, we have to identify it as precisely as possible. Is it hatred? Hurt? Fear? Anxiety? Discontent? This is a very critical component of the process as related to the next step.brbr3. Search for the exact opposite of the negative emotion. Think of its antonym. For example, the moment we catch ourselves feeling ldquo;lazy,rdquo; we would call to mind an opposite adjective like ‘energetic.’ We would then say to ourselves, ‘I feel energetic. ‘ If we see ourselves as ldquo;pessimisticrdquo;, we say ldquo;I am hopeful. rdquo; If we think we are ldquo;incompetentrsquo;, we say ldquo;I feel ingenious.rdquo; What do we say if we see ourselves as ldquo;unmindfulrdquo;? We say, ldquo;I am grateful. rdquo; Can we use the same method even if we do not feel any unpleasant feelings? Of course! We are encouraged to think and say to ourselves statements like ‘I feel fabulous’ to reinforce our mood, or statements like ‘I feel strong’ or ‘I feel friendly’ in order to enhance our character. Other people have their own versions of the said technique. Others say it aloud in front of the mirror every morning for ten minutes for twenty-one days. Saying it out loud makes it more effective as there is an emotional involvement. This is the same as saying positive affirmations and doing self-talk. Others prefer to write the statements on paper, as they become more ldquo;physicallyrdquo; involved. brbrTry it out. It doesnrsquo;t matter which way you choose to use. Whatrsquo;s important is that you are aware of the direction your thoughts are going and change it. Yoursquo;ll see a brighter, more positive you emerge and well on your way to finding the a href=http://www.findthewaytohappiness.com target=’_blank’way to happiness/a.brbrobject width=425 height=344param name=movie value=http://www.youtube.com/v/hcyHkZ_Xj58hl=en_USfs=1/paramparam name=allowFullScreen value=true/paramparam name=allowscriptaccess value=always/paramembed src=http://www.youtube.com/v/hcyHkZ_Xj58hl=en_USfs=1 type=application/x-shockwave-flash allowscriptaccess=always allowfullscreen=true width=425 height=344/embed/objectbrbrSpecial Gift: Get over 6 hours of audio program from best-selling authors, world-class trainers and
