Tuesday mindset: I’m not sure who counted, but research says we can have as many as 60,000 thoughts a day.
Go figure: The person we have the most dialog with is ourselves.
The implication? Ask a better question and get a better answer.
Examples:
- What can I learn from this? vs. Why does this always happen to me?
- Why do I never have enough money? vs. How will I set aside more money for my emergency fund next time? What can I do differently that will make it easier?
Over time, if we are not aware of our self-talk, questions included become a cyclical habit — and, more often than not, a negative one.
With some intention, you and I can turn that around to win the day.
