- 0:27Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
- 0:30coop. So today we're talking about
- 0:32having positive thoughts overtake your negative thoughts.
- 0:35So we all know how negative thoughts can just jump in and
- 0:39tend to rule us. And moments notice all of a
- 0:41sudden you don't even realize it.
- 0:43But before you know it, you're having negative thoughts and
- 0:45they're all over you. They're stuck to you like glue
- 0:48and they're just in your head and they're running amok.
- 0:51Well, how do you have a positive thought?
- 0:54Take over the negatives like people.
- 0:56Constantly work to say I'm I'm working really hard at getting
- 0:59rid of the negative thoughts and getting rid of the negative
- 1:02thoughts. How do I get rid of the negative
- 1:03thoughts. And it's it is the, you know, it
- 1:07really is the root of all the deep questions that people ask
- 1:11me as well. You know, how do I stop the
- 1:13negativity? And in essence it all comes down
- 1:16to rewiring. It comes down to choosing the
- 1:20positive thoughts over the negative thoughts.
- 1:23But what if you don't have positive thoughts?
- 1:25Right. Like, so I could easily say
- 1:26we'll choose your positive thoughts over your negative
- 1:28thoughts, but what if you don't have positive thoughts?
- 1:30What if they're just not there? What if you're stuck in a
- 1:32situation where things are going on the dark side and you're
- 1:36trying really hard to come up with a way to get past all the
- 1:40negative thoughts, but they're just not letting go and you're
- 1:43struggling like hell to try to get past it because it is a big
- 1:46deal. And you're like, I just don't
- 1:48want to have these thoughts anymore.
- 1:49I just want to get rid of all these.
- 1:51Quote UN quote negative thoughts.
- 1:53Well, here's the thing. This comes down to that old
- 1:58adage of you have to feed what you want to see grow and you
- 2:02pull what you don't want. So when the negative thoughts
- 2:05start to come in, first of all you have to recognize the
- 2:08negative thoughts. Nothing is more important than
- 2:10saying, oh wait, this is a negative thought.
- 2:12I don't want this thought and acknowledging that it's not a
- 2:16healthy thought. And then what do I want to put
- 2:19in its place? What do I want to supplement?
- 2:21This thought with I I've got to get rid of it.
- 2:23I've got to put something else in this place.
- 2:24I've got to trans, you know, transpose something else into
- 2:27its spot. What do I want that to be?
- 2:29Well, ultimately it's easier when you start this process off
- 2:33to pick one phrase, one word, because you can't just see it go
- 2:39away completely. But you can just start with one
- 2:42word, like you can't say it go away immediately it, you know,
- 2:46because just because it's such an old pattern and it's probably
- 2:49been in place for a long time. So if you just start with.
- 2:51One word, one phrase, one thing that you start focusing on.
- 2:56So for me, there's an old phrase from Doctor Joseph Murphy that
- 3:00was in his book How to Attract Money, one of the greatest books
- 3:03of all time ever written about mindset, positivity, thinking
- 3:06the right way. And that book, that phrase that
- 3:09comes from that book is effortless Abundance flows to me
- 3:12in Health, Wealth, and success. So if I start having negative
- 3:15thoughts, one of the first things I go to is that phrase.
- 3:18I will whip that out. I will start saying that to
- 3:20myself and I start walking in on it.
- 3:22Because it is such a great phrase that covers everything.
- 3:25Effortless. Abundance flows to me in health,
- 3:28wealth and success. And when you start focusing on
- 3:32that and start adopting that into your head every time you
- 3:35have a negative thought, I'd jump into that.
- 3:37So if I hear a negative thought in my head, if I start to.
- 3:40Feel crappy. I say the phrase, If I hear the
- 3:42thought, I then jump on that and say, Oh no, we're not going to
- 3:45do that. That's not the thought that I'm
- 3:47going to take on. And you just sincerely start
- 3:51drowning yourself in the same phrase over and over again.
- 3:53Before you know it, it starts to loosen up.
- 3:57It's like scrubbing a dirty pan to me.
- 3:59If any of you are, like you know, familiar with the whole
- 4:02cleaning up at the end of the evening, you've got really dirty
- 4:05pans and you have to quote UN quote soak the pan well, even
- 4:08when you soak the pan and you have to.
- 4:10Scrub it. Sometimes you're using steel
- 4:12wool. You've got everything that you
- 4:13need to clean it, but you still have to scrub it really hard.
- 4:16That's the same thing with thoughts.
- 4:17It's the scrubber. It's really standing there and
- 4:20digging at it and saying, no, I'm getting rid of this.
- 4:23And that's what those phrases do.
- 4:24So the more you use them, the more they scrub away The Dirty
- 4:28thoughts. So I'm going to tell you, pick a
- 4:31phrase. I don't care if it's that one or
- 4:33another one, but pick a phrase. You could just have a word like
- 4:36just effortless. Just focus on the word
- 4:38effortless. I just want this to.
- 4:40Will be effortless and it doesn't mean that you don't put
- 4:42effort in, it means that you don't get dragged down by it.
- 4:45It's about the emotion of it. The effortless abundance does
- 4:48not mean I don't put in effort. It just means that you're it
- 4:51feels effortless. It's so clean and easy.
- 4:53It just feels good. It doesn't weigh you down.
- 4:57So if you think of it that way, it's going to be a heck of a lot
- 5:00easier for you to make it all work.
- 5:02And I think that that will work best for you.
- 5:05So I hope you guys. Have a very blessed day and I
- 5:09hope you work on this. And I hope you scrub away some
- 5:11of that negativity with some of this positivity.
- 5:14All right, my friends, have a blessed day and I'll see you
- 5:16tomorrow. Bye.
