How Your Thoughts Affect Your Results

Feeling stuck by not taking action or by taking actions that aren’t supporting your goals? 😠

 Look at your THOUGHTS.

What are you telling yourself about yourself?

Your self-identity (how you think of yourself) has a BIG impact on your behavior!

If your habits aren’t moving you in the direction you want to be heading, take a peek at what’s going on in your head. 🤯

Here’s how it works:
Thoughts ➡️ Feelings ➡️ Actions

Your thoughts create your feelings, which drive your actions.

And your actions, of course, determine the results you’re getting/not getting.

It all starts with what you are thinking about yourself.

Most people aren’t even aware of their thoughts because they happen automatically.

UNTIL you notice them and change them!

So, the first thing to do is: Generate self-awareness.

Pay attention to your opinion of yourself.

Your opinion of yourself determines how you feel about yourself.

How you feel determines what you do.

What you do determines your results.

The results you’re getting or not getting directly stem from your thoughts and beliefs.

Limiting beliefs (ex. I’m not good enough) are NOT helpful for getting you to take the actions you’re trying to take.

Those thoughts make you feel like 💩.
And when you feel like 💩, it affects how you live your life.

This is how the connection between thoughts and results works:

You want to work (it takes practice!) on catching your unhelpful thoughts and replacing them with thoughts that will help create the feelings you want to feel. Anything we want, we want because of how it will make us feel (or how we think it will make us feel). Take weight loss for example– You don’t want the weight loss for the sake of weight loss. You want it because you think it will make you feel more confident, energetic, self-accepting, etc. Are thoughts like “I’m so fat” giving your those feelings? Of course not. And so you’re likely not going to live your life doing the things you need to do to lose weight.

It may not be as easy as simply changing those thoughts if they have been on repeat for years.

So, here’s a suggestion for improving how you think of yourself–

Instead of lying to yourself with positive affirmations (which can be 💪🏻powerful💪🏻 for changing your mindset IF you believe them)…

Try using to phrase “May I_______” instead of “I am______”

Use “May I” until you begin to believe “I am!”

Examples:
🌟 May I be strong today.
🌟 May I radiate self-confidence.
🌟 May I have the energy to do this.
🌟 May I forgive myself and move on.
🌟 May I breathe in positivity.
🌟 May I inspire others with my kind words and actions.
🌟 May I love and accept myself.
🌟 May I be the change I want to see in the world! 💗

It’s actually pretty incredible if you think about this:

You can think WHATEVER you want.

You have a CHOICE to think kind and positive thoughts about yourself and nobody can tell you that you’re wrong.

The truth is: There is nothing wrong with you.
Free yourself of this belief and your world opens up to change.
