Out of all the self-help advice I’ve ever read, this has helped the most. In fact, somehow the simplicity and sensibility of this article has managed to greatly change my life for the better. In short, what I should really say, rather than carrying on any more, is “Thank you”.

GREAT ARTICLE! Another great book that isn’t really a “self-help book” is “Tuesdays with Morrie”. The idea of awareness reminded me of Morrie’s idea of detachment. Acknowledging the emotion one is feeling makes it easier to detach from that feeling…I’ve found that experiencing a feeling and saying to myself for example, “I am feeling lonely”, makes it easier for me to let go of that feeling once I am aware of it.

Hello Mark,

This is a great post! I love how you used the stove as an analogy about how, when thinking negative thoughts, we are inflicting pain on ourselves and we become so used to it that simply removing the pain is not as easy. We all need to more positive especially in the world today. Thanks for reminding and encouraging us all to think positively!

That “groove” is a tricky one. I drove my truck to the very place of some of my greatest failures and successes. It was strange. I choose to learn from both.

Great post Mark. You made so many good points. Negative thinking really is what can hold us back and prevent us from doing what we are really capable of. It is so easy to fall into the trap of and we have to choose to continually guard our thoughts so they are not susceptible to being overcome with negativity. This is probably one of the most important things we can ever do and if we are able to control the stories we are telling ourselves and positively shape our thoughts, life really does begin to unfold the way we want. It is by all means easier said than done, but once we make the choice, we are able to take control. Thanks for sharing your insights.

Nice post. Indeed – just dropping a negative idea is a powerful action. We can only think about one though at one time therefore we have complete control and power over what we think about – if it’s negative, it only takes one though to wipe it clean.

Thought about past ‘failures’ can create a kind of groove of thought, a script which we keep repeating. Yes, it can take some time to replace this script with a more empowering one. But once we become more conscious, it isn’t too hard to do.

Thanks, Isaac.
