The Power of Thoughts: Building a Strong Foundation for the Life You Want

Thoughts are the foundations of our entire lives. They shape and mold our reality, creating the experiences we have every day. Whether we realize it or not, we think over 60,000 thoughts per day, constantly building our lives, both consciously and unconsciously. The choice of what we think is ours, and when we decide that we want more harmony, joy, happiness, love, and abundance in our lives, we take the first step towards reclaiming our power and control.

Our bodies and life experiences are reflections of what we are thinking. Every moment, we infuse our lives with thoughts. These thoughts become the inputs that feed our body, emotions, and experiences. Just like building a muscle in our body, becoming aware of the thoughts we are cultivating takes time and practice. It starts with awareness, which can be sparked by something as simple as reading an article like this one and becoming knowledgeable about the power we possess within ourselves. As we stay aware and recognize the type of thoughts we are thinking, our minds begin to weed out those that are not aligned with our highest good.

Positive thoughts, such as healing, kindness, love, joy, happiness, cooperation, peace, and high self-esteem, have the power to improve our entire lives. On the other hand, negative thoughts, such as anger, control, low self-esteem, revenge, hatred, prejudice, and fighting, produce stress and make our bodies and experiences feel sluggish, slow, and uninspired.

So, how can we make our thoughts work for us and build a strong foundation for the life we want? Let’s use the example of body image to illustrate this process:

1. The first statement: “I am fat.” This statement is mean-spirited and attacks both ourselves and our image. By adjusting it, like unscrewing a screw one turn at a time, we release its meanness and the power it holds over us.

2. The second statement: “I am a bit heavier than I want to be right now.” Feel the change? By rephrasing the statement relative to a goal we have for our body image, we are already making progress and increasing the power of our thoughts.

3. The third statement: “I am doing the best I can in this very moment, and my body is reflecting all the inputs I have been giving it. These inputs include what I am thinking about it, all I feed it, and how much I move it.” Fantastic! By shifting our thoughts from attacking ourselves to self-awareness, we begin to see where we are at currently and where we want to be. This is the starting point of all change.

4. The fourth statement: “I am ready to make improvements in my body because I want to feel stronger, healthier, and love my body again.” Bravo! By recognizing that our body is ours to control and that we have the power to change our thoughts, food choices, and physical activities, we transform our self-attack into self-empowerment. It truly is that simple!

These concepts are not just empty theories but are being proven time and time again by science. Our thoughts can even influence our DNA. HeartMath, an organization dedicated to studying the relationship between the heart, mind, and body, has found that our thoughts, feelings, and intentions can alter the outcomes of our DNA blueprint. This shows that the inputs we create all day long not only become a part of our bodies but also trigger emotions that can influence how we feel, look, and act.

Becoming aware of our inputs is crucial in order to weed out negative thoughts and prevent them from creating an endless loop within our minds. By remaining conscious of our thoughts, we equip ourselves with the tools necessary to change them. This idea is further supported by the work of Louise Hay, the Queen of Positivity, who has dedicated her life to helping others through the power of thoughts. Through her own journey of healing and personal challenges, she has empowered millions to create more wellness in their bodies, minds, and spirits. Her work, captured in her self-help books and through her publishing house, Hay House, has spread the knowledge of the transformative power of thoughts to people all around the world.

In conclusion, thoughts are the foundation of our entire lives. By consciously choosing positive thoughts and weeding out negative ones, we can build a strong foundation that supports the life we desire. Our bodies and life experiences are shaped by what we think, and once we understand this, we can reclaim our power and control. Remember, thoughts are not just fleeting ideas; they hold immense power in shaping our reality. So, let us harness that power and create the life we truly want.
