Are You Thinking 'Sick?'

There are those that exist in the world that 'think sick.' I must admit my own role of guilt in this mentality because I'm certain I used to think the same way.

'Sick thinkers' are always ready and willing to let others know 'they've been better.'

I suppose the reason I would do something so intrusive to others was because I needed to let others know I needed something. 

I needed changes in my life in a major way I just never knew how to begin such an enormous undertaking.

Over time, others offered suggestions, ideas and tips - all of which were haughtily dismissed as I reached for the next bag of potato chips. I wasn't ready. I continued to talk sick.

These days, I am very aware of the words that I say. I make every attempt not to put myself down (facts are facts regarding my cooking abilities and I continue to work on that). I 'think before I speak' - another lesson brought to you by the parents who I believed didn't know as much as I did back then......drat. 

Karma circles me like a vulture sometimes, but the important lessons are what I hang in there for.

I don't just stop my lips from speaking the words while I still think them - I don't even think them. If a negative thought or criticism creeps in (and it is usually about me) I sweep it out of my mind and quickly replace it with the opposite thought. Literally.

So if I catch myself thinking, "Oh I'm not feeling good today," I stop and think - my body may not be feeling good, and I may need to rest today - but in my mind and spirit I continue to thrive - and things will catch up....a reset or re-balance is often all we need.

Moms everywhere believe that there is a necessary mentality that they can do it all. Sixteen children and she hasn't left the house in 12 years - she doesn't need a day off! I assure you - she does......or at least she will when we find her rocking, twitching and talking to herself in the corner at midnight. We all need a break. Without one, this is how we spend years in illness we can't explain. Moms count too!

If we think something long enough, it becomes. Think sick and you'll start to feel sick! Find ways to avoid 'thinking sick' and you'll start to notice a big difference in your entire life. It all starts in the mind with the way we think. Negative or positive - these thoughts bring these things into our lives.

Sick of being sick? Try practicing the positive thinking position of life. It is going to amaze you!
