June 29, 2016: TGIW: Unhumping Hump Day…Redirect Workout

By Darrell Gurney | Blog

“When the negative thoughts come – and they will; they come to all of us – it’s not enough to just not dwell on it… You’ve got to replace it with a positive thought.” –Joel Osteen

It’s easy to classify others in our work and lives as ‘negative’ because of the way their thoughts or actions rub us.

But what about how we rub ourselves?

If asked, everyone would claim to be a positive person, as they perceive positive to be.

Yet, positive people have negative thoughts. It’s just what we do with them that matters.

Are we watchful observers over them, like kids outside about to get into mischief? Or do we follow their paths like lemmings, buying into their very convincing evidence?

It’s not the having of them. That will never stop. But the muscle of redirecting our mind once we notice them that is the one to develop.

Getting to that gym at least a few times a day builds stamina.

Got redirect workout?

“Only allow yourself to think negative thoughts and/or complain about anything for three minutes, three times a day.” –Karen Salmansohn
