Having a bank of empowering thoughts in our brain can't help us feel the feelings we want to feel more of the time.  I keep five or so of these thoughts, (which now have become default thoughts because I have practiced thinking them so often) in the front of my brain that allows me to not let the hard things in my life get me down.  I have a better understanding of why opposition is necessary.  But when Mr. Opposition or Mrs. Judgmental or Miss Negative shows up, I process the emotion for a minute or two and then one of my 5 power thoughts comes to mind and I find I'm able to deal with situation because I'm in a more peaceful mindset.  I hope this episode gives you some "food for thought".If you want  the transcript to this episode so that you have a list of these thoughts, click here.  It should be up by the end of the day 8-24.Have you received my new resource "3 Steps To Be Yourself Around Your Adult Children?"
