We have 60,000 thoughts a day – and there’s lots of alone time to choose what kind of thoughts we want to practice and practice them–in the car, in the shower, first thing in the morning, last thing at night…
In this segment of an interview I did with Cindy Kainz on her show The Bottom Line, I discuss how positive thinking and thinking “happy” thoughts might not work and how we can re-frame “positive” thoughts to make them powerful.
How could you think powerfully?

In my workshops the last two months, there’s been a lot of discussion about unworthiness and undeserving. Men and women alike revealed that they thought they were undeserving of prosperity, happiness, great relationships, and creating a good life of for themselves. They shared thoughts of being unworthy to succeed, to lead, share wisdom, receive love, accept compliments….
In my own journey, when I started practicing self-awareness and managing my thoughts, I was surprised to discover that I was making thousands of choices and thousands of decisions every day. I was surprised to discover that in one moment, I could dramatically change the course of my life, my work, my relationships, just by understanding and changing how I choose to think. I also realized that practicing “positive thinking” or thinking “happy thoughts” as we are often taught to do just doesn’t work.
