Thoughts-> emotion -> behaviour -> action -> habits -> results

It all starts with your thoughts.

Your brain has the ability to visualize both the past and future. This means we’re not only able to relive difficult scenarios from our past but also imagine worst case outcomes that haven’t even happened yet.

Your mind doesn’t distinguish between what’s imagined and what’s real. When you repeatedly think about stressful situations or dwell on negativity, your body reacts as if those scenarios are actually happening. You have the power to turn on the stress response with your thoughts alone.

Unfortunately, our brains are wired to focus on the negative, imagining worst case scenarios, worrying, and even sabotaging ourselves.

When you’re constantly visualizing stress or living with a negative mindset, your body struggles to escape fight or flight mode. Instead of relaxing, your brain keeps releasing stress hormones to protect you from perceived danger even when no real danger exists.

However, a stressed mind and a grateful mind can’t exist at the same time.

If your thoughts can make you sick, they can also heal you. By shifting your focus to positive thoughts you can help your body relax, reduce stress, and promote healing. It starts with bringing awareness to your thoughts and consciously choosing to focus on what uplifts you.

“ There are a few things in life so beautiful they hurt: swimming in the ocean while it rains, reading alone in empty libraries, the sea of stars that appear when you're miles away from the neon lights of the city, bars after 2am, walking in the wilderness, all the phases of the moon, the things we do not know about the universe, and you. ”

Beau Taplin, And You

I miss me , every version - every part of the person I’ve been has made me the woman I am today. I hope my future self will be happy with me I hope the person I am now makes me a happier person tomorrow

— Arthur Miller, The Crucible

I think the beauty of meeting someone just once to understand them to be part of their life for a brief second or a moment. It’s so wonderfully terrible, that’s the process of life I suppose.

You cannot have the life you dream of while keeping things, people and habits in your life that you do not dream of

“ Nothing lasts, you see, not even the thoughts inside you. And you mustn't waste your time looking for them. Once a thing is gone, that is the end of it. ”

Paul Auster, The Invention of Solitude
