A PENNY FOR

YOUR THOUGHTS

Tuesday, 13 September 2011

I'm

sure most of you have heard that one before. Oh yes,

that old saying...a penny for your thoughts had

been around for decades. Only thing is, with the rate

of inflation, we should probably change it to...a

dollar for your thoughts! LOL. But seriously,

tell me, what are you thinking about today?

Oh,

you don't know how much E-mail I receive from people who

spend most of the day drowning their feelings in

negative thoughts. And because they're overweight, they

don't shy away from telling me how much they hate the

way they look and feel. Boy, now that's a lousy way to

spend the day, isn't it?

And if you spend day after day losing yourself in those

kinds of negative thoughts, I've got news for you.

You'll end up feeling well, completely lost.

You'll end up becoming a very unhappy and sour person.

Now tell me, who wants to live like that?

Worse than that, when you feel this way, you're less

likely to spend time taking good care of yourself. (Can

you see where this is heading?) When you don't take

good care of yourself, it leads to weight gain and,

later, you could even end up having medical problems.

And oh my, just think, it would have all begun

with those negative thoughts.

You

have to remember that the thoughts you let find a home

in your mind also play a big role in your weight-loss

success. And that success will extend from your

weight-loss, to your relationships, to your job

performance and most important of all, to how you

feel about you!

That's why you have to work hard at turning your

negative thoughts into positive ones. And I can hear

you already thinking...Easier said than done,

. Oh, stop it! From a personal

standpoint, I really don't have time to get depressed.

I have too much to do, too many people to talk to and

too many people to help. You don't have time for

mulling around in a state of permanent depression

either.

I

want you to make a list of all the things you need to

get done in your life. And while you're at it, please,

don't stop to feel down or depressed. You've got too

many good things ahead of you. Make that list and

whenever you find yourself falling into a depressed

state, whip that list out! Read it again,

focus on your thoughts and on what you can do to make

yourself feel better. Dwelling on happier thoughts and

memories will help you do just that...feel better!

It all boils down to the fact that you are in

control of those thoughts in your own mind

Okay, I already have my own list made out and now it's

time to make a list just for you. You're not going to

believe how easily you can turn those negatives thoughts

inside your mind into...positive ones!

Think

about it.

Love,
