Think Positive Thoughts…

              Watch Your Life Change
Phyllis Reardon M.Ed

                          

How often have you heard this or read it in a self-help book?

Think Positive!  Seems simple enough.

Did you know that you have over 50,000 thoughts a day and that 70% of these are negative!

Yes that’s over 35,000 negative thoughts a day. No wonder some days feel like low points in your life and business.

Why so many negative thoughts you might ask? 

Well these negative thoughts have been forming since the day you were born. You wrote them on your subconscious mind. They came from parents, siblings, family, friends, teachers, co-workers and you took them as fact and implanted them in your subconscious mind.

These negative thoughts create limiting beliefs such as:

I’m not good enough….I’ll never have any money….I’m too skinny….I’m too fat….I’m too short…I’m too tall…..I’m useless at sales…I’ll never make it to the top..and on and on. I’m sure you can add a full list because they have been in your thoughts for your whole life.

70,000 negative thoughts a day!  Negative thoughts are really limiting beliefs.

Limiting Beliefs cause you to self-sabotage.

Feeling stuck? Procrastinating? You have Limiting Beliefs.

You need to discover just what these limiting beliefs are and learn to release them.

A great tool to help with this is Emotional Freedom Technique, commonly known as Tapping.

If you would like to have your limiting beliefs released email me, I can help.  phyllis@coachphyllis.com

Thanksgiving in Canada ----- Life Coaching Activities

Phyllis Reardon M.Ed.
Life Coach


Although many of the First Nations in Canada had a long tradition of celebrating the harvest and giving thanks this time of year, the very first formally recognized Thanksgiving Day began with Martin Frobisher.

Frobisher and his crew had been trying to find a northern passage to the Pacific Ocean and to celebrate a safe return from that search Frobisher celebrated with a Thanksgiving celebration.

In the year of 1578 he held a formal Thanksgiving celebration in Newfoundland. This was one of the first Thanksgiving Days held in Canada.


You may not have taken on something as risky to personal safety as a search for the Northwest Passage but life can get very challenging at times and it can be difficult to see the positives or reasons to be thankful.

There exist as of recent years a full body of research based on Positive psychology; the basis of which states that the more positive one is the higher your degree of life satisfaction and the greater your wellbeing.


To me giving thanks, or let’s say, finding reasons to give thanks can be tied closely to Positive psychology…so why not give thanks....be positive...benefit greatly from this mind set.


Life Coaching Activities for Thanksgiving


1. If you don’t already have one, create a gratitude list. At the end of each day note at least one thing for which you can say thanks or be grateful.


2. This weekend or sometime this week email, phone or a drop a note to someone, possibly from your past, who was a help to you in your career or life. Won’t they be surprised! They may even copy your actions.


3. Daily, give a recognition to those at work or in your life who are integral to your success but sometimes are taken for granted.


4. Become aware of your personal health and abilities and give a thanks to yourself for all that you have accomplished.


5. Create a Focus of Gratitude. It creates a Positive energy and flow and benefits you and everyone around you.


Happy Thanksgiving!
