Humans think all the time. Our brains are constantly running, processing new information and new ideas. But do you ever think about your own thoughts? Which thoughts occur more often or less often? Which are negative, and which are positive?

Thinking about the things you don’t have or that you want consumes a lot of time and energy. And matter of factly, It’s more common to think about those thoughts than what you already have. Another thing that a majority of people think about is their past mistakes. They remember times when they embarrassed themselves or said the wrong thing. But have you ever stopped to think that if you are embarrassed by your past self, it means that you have grown as a person?

Lastly, a thought that is present in almost everyone’s mind is situations that they have zero control over. Some parts of life are meant to be lived, not controlled.  No matter what happens, no matter the outcome, you’re going to be just fine.  Let go of the things you can’t control. Instead, spend your thoughts and efforts controlling what you do have power over.

A big step that you can take is to change your mindset. Changing what you think can change what you feel and change what you do. Instead of spending time on what you don’t have, think about what you have and how grateful you are. Instead of thinking about past mistakes, think about what you can do in the future to prevent the same things from happening. I tend to get stuck on the past when I should keep looking to the future.

Changing your state of mind or mindset can help you see things differently and focus on the important things in your life and bring you joy.

P.S. This is a very special blog post. This morning, I was feeling a little under the weather, so I skipped writing my blog. Reyna (my daughter) asked me about my blog, and I explained my reason for not writing, and I told her. So, she took it upon herself to write a post for me. Words can’t describe how proud I am of her.

P.P.S. P.S. Thanks for reading! If you enjoyed it, please share it with one person you love.
