Test Your Thoughts

Sometimes we think we need a good reason to believe something.

Sometimes we think we need verifiable facts or evidence or proof in order to justify thinking in a certain way.

But did you know you can choose to think something just because it feels better?

You can.

Without evidence.  Without good reason.  Without a "reasonable" assessment of the facts.

Just because it feels better.

To judge the value of a thought, I like to ask myself two questions:

1.  Do I like how I feel when I think this? 

2.  Do I like what I do when I think this?

If the answer to either of these questions is no, then it's not a useful thought and I can choose to think something else entirely—no matter how "true" it may be.  

If the answer is yes, then I let myself think this thought as much as I want—just because it feels good and because I like what I do when I think it.  It's a win-win.

This week I am choosing to think that the current quarantine is amazing and is exactly what I needed.  I feel fortunate when I think this and I love what I do from this grateful, happy place.

Even if it's not "true," this thought serves me in so many ways.

I dare you to try it for yourself!

xo,

April
