The Journey to Self Discovery

If you’re feeling empty, you’re not alone. Many of us feel empty in different ways. For instance, you might feel empty because something is missing in your life, This might be emptiness from a loved one moving or passing away. You're stuck in a vicious cycle. You're down, depressed (not necessarily clinically). Because of that, you constantly feel unmotivated, tired, lethargic. You don't have the energy to get out there and try new things. Staying home doing nothing just makes your mood worse and worse. You need to find a way to break the cycle. You have to recognize that if you don't make a very serious effort then things are just going to get worse. The good news is I think that you already realize this. You know that you have a problem. You're looking for help. The other key is that you have to know beyond a doubt that you (and you alone) have the power to make things better. Or the emptiness might stem from slowly abandoning ourselves, not listening...

  We have the ability to create our own reality. For the most part, we can look at a situation and see the good or we can look at the same situation and choose to see the bad. Often times the lens we use to view what’s happening is filtered by our thoughts. Positive thoughts create more positive circumstances. Alternatively, negative thoughts contribute to feelings of dissatisfaction and disappointment. Therefore, changing our negative thoughts is essential to achieve happiness and peace. The following are the most common negative thinking behaviors. Becoming aware of these is essential to transforming negative thoughts into positive beliefs. Stay away from “all-or-nothing” thinking.

Positive thinking can add so much to your life – and now we know that positive thinking can add years to your life. When you think positive you get rid of stress and tend to live a healthier life and make better choices. If you’re naturally a negative thinker, there are ways you can change that thinking and get on the path to a life-changing way of thinking. If you really want to begin to think positively and change your life for the better, look at the following ways you can incorporate into your own lifestyle: 1.      Be responsible for your thoughts No one can tell you what to think or controls how you react to your thinking.

When you plan or choose, to think positively, you won’t be as ...

To everything in life, there’s always a negative and a positive perspective and nothing is "wrong" or "right". When you see a glass on your table filled halfway with water, you could say, “That glass is half empty, why don’t I pour out the water.” or,  “That glass is half full, why don’t I fill it up.” Check this out, that from the first question, you’re actually making the condition of the glass worse. That’s the negative view. From the second question, you’re making the glass feel a whole lot better with itself. That’s the positive perspective.
