Regulating your thoughts

Regulating your thoughts

Whenever you have thought, there is a corresponding chemical reaction in your mind and body as a result.

this is important to realize because it means that what you think can affect how you feel.Β

Of course, your thoughts don't arise out of a vacuum. For example, you are reading this article and gaining new ideas from it that you can potentially put to use in changing your thoughts.

  • You're starting to think a different way.
  • You've started to feed your brain different information.
  • You've surrounded yourself with information that programs your brain to start thinking the way that you want it to.

What this means is that if you want to start changing your thoughts, you need to be aware of the triggers of your thoughts and also the patterns of thoughts that you have in response to those triggers.
