Remember, your thoughts manifest whether they are positive or negative. They do. You better believe it. The quality of your thoughts is expressed in everything you do; through your behavior, mannerisms, gestures, body language, lifestyle, and speech. To the keen observer, all forms of expressions are very revealing. The most revealing one being in the way you speak.
So it is very important that you make conscious thoughts. You can try to do that by asking these questions:
Are your thoughts your own? Or do they belong to your father, mother, spouse, or boss?
Is your inner voice your own or does it belong to someone else?
Is your self-talk supportive of your dreams, goals, and desires?
Are your thoughts congruent with what you want?
What are some of the beliefs that run your life?
What thoughts are consciously on your mind?
What images are attached to your persistent thoughts?
What kind of person would you say you are? Positive or Negative? Optimistic or Pessimistic?
What kind of person would you say your spouse is? Positive or Negative? Optimistic or Pessimistic?
What kind of people would you say your friends are? Positive or Negative? Optimistic or Pessimistic?
Think of the impression people have of you? How do you think they view you? Positive or Negative? Optimistic or Pessimistic?
