Doing a bit of hopping around on the computer I found the following lovely piece on this blog :
"The more curls you do with free weights, the more your bicep grows. It’s not rocket science. It’s the simple effect of training your bicep. The more energy you give to a thought or action, the bigger and stronger it becomes in your mind, emotions, habits, and practices. Imagine that you tell yourself you must have coffee and donuts at the same time everyday. You practice this routine over and over, even make schedule adjustments so that you won’t be deprived. Now, imagine that you run two miles at the same time everyday, making schedule adjustments so that you won’t be deprived. Don’t expect to outthink your body or your brain on this point. Whenever you invest energy in anything, there is a “training effect.” Every story we tell ourselves has some training effect. Because of the power of the “story effect,” it’s imperative that the story you tell be a constructive, not destructive, one. It’s crucial to be utterly conscious about who you are, what you’re doing with your life, and what stories you’re telling yourself. The training effect of stories makes it hard to break the bonds that form–so take care that your stories are ones that move you towards your ultimate mission.
How many times have you had to force yourself out of negative thinking? To my skeptical friends out there, YES it can be done! Iif you’ve never done it before try it before you spiral into the depths of negativism. Being conscious, being present is the greatest gift you can give to yourself. Being present is the first step to realization that you are in control of yourself, your emotions.
Positive thinking breeds more positive thinking. It is practically virulent in its’ nature. Once you start listening to the voice within as you breathe in the moment you will come to find where your path leads you, the journey begins within you. What is your story?
If you are at all interested The Power of Story website has a pdf document that you can begin completing to write your own destiny, your “story” if you will. Telling our stories to ourselves is the first part of taking control of our destinies. The pdf document encourages you to reflect upon YOU, your old story and the new story that you would like to unfold in front of you. Think about it as if it was a blueprint for your life."
