The impact of negative thoughts

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

What type of thoughts do you have on a daily basis?  Are they positive thoughts or are they negative thoughts?  Did you know that when you have negative thoughts that this is stress on the body?  This stress that the body feels will cause the body to react in the same way that it reacts to other forms of stress: nutritional stress, impaired sleep, physical or just the pressure you feel on a day to day basis.  When stress takes place within your body it just does not cause you to become tense, anxious or just cause a headache but it also affects you on a cellular level. sick-water

Look at the top right photo.  This is a picture of a water droplet that was taken after someone sent negative thoughts to it.  This same affect is what happens to your body on a cellular level.  Now look at the bottom right photo, this is a photo of a water droplet that had thoughts of love and gratitude prayed over it.  Again, when you fill your body and mind with happy positive thoughts your body down to its cells will react the same way.

So, I ask you, what do your thoughts consist of on a daily basis?  Are they happy thoughts or sad thoughts?  Positive or negative?  Either way these thoughts are trying to tell you something and should not be ignored.  Positive thoughts remind you of what is good in your life and what is working.  Negative thoughts are there to tell you what is not good in your life and what needs to change.  Maybe these thoughts are telling you that you need to bring something into your life or get rid of something that is not fulfilling its purpose. love-gratitude-pic

Many times people walk around knowing that something needs to change but usually there is the feeling of fear attached and making change can be a scary thing.  Keep in mind though that you always have a choice.  You can choose to be happy or choose to be sad and even though it can be scary along the way, it’s it scarier to remain in an unhappy place and live each day like this.  Below is a list of a few items that will get you on track to having happier thoughts.

  • Get a notebook/journal and write down negative thoughts
  • Under each negative thought written, nullify it by turning it into a positive thought.
  • Eventually, you won’t need the notebook; you’ll start to do it mentally.
  • Focus your thoughts/energy on things THAT FEEL GOOD
  • REMEMBER, you are attracting whatever it is you are thinking about, so use your thoughts to your advantage.

We hope this helps you get started to living a happier and healthier life.  Feel free to write us your comments/experiences on our blog.  We would love to hear from you.
