Thoughts

The Power of Thought
Thoughts are what our mind is made of. You might feel you have no control over your thoughts but that’s not true. The key to controlling your thoughts is awareness. Be aware of what you are thinking at every moment of your day and each time you think a negative thought, replace it by a positive one.
Repeat the following affirmation “I am the master of my thoughts”. You will soon find that a positive change is taking place in your outlook and once that happens your life will change forever.
After all it is how we perceive and process a particular situation or circumstance that determines our reaction and thought towards it. Lets take an example- you are in a party and this stranger who is talking to you is avoiding looking at you. Your reaction towards this can be any of the following depending upon how you processed the situation:
§ He/She is shy
§ He/She finds me boring and wants to get rid of me
§ What a weird person

So you see positive, outlook is very important and that comes from the thoughts, and they come from awareness.
Just be:
§ Aware of your thought.
§ Replace the negative thought with a positive one.
§ Accompany it with a positive bodily sensation i.e. when you are feeling good what signs does your body show e.g. smiling, sitting up tall, gesturing etc.
