Instead of dwelling on negative thoughts, cause your mind to dwell on peace and joy. – Ernest Holmes
Let’s face it, there are negatives in life. To use the vernacular, sh*t happens. It’s what happens AFTER the sh*t that really matters. Do you choose to dwell in the negative stuff – wallow in it, or do you make a conscious decision to focus on good stuff?
Think about something – think about those negatives really being a big pile of – well you know, now imagine actually sitting in it, wallowing in it, just having it all over your body? WHO would do that? I sure wouldn’t. In fact, I’d go out of my way to avoid it. So why let all that negativity that happens stay in your life? Replace it with more upbeat, happier thoughts. You’re still going to see the negatives, just like you see the other stuff when you’re walking down the street. But you go out of your way to walk around that other stuff, go out of your way to walk around the negatives and replace it with positives.
