Today’s Thought: Change is Possible If . . .

by

If you can change your mind, you can change your life. ~ William James

William James, father of American psychology, offers deep wisdom. Before we can change our lives, however, we have to desire to change more than we desire to maintain our current behavior. Consider a person who smokes, the person knows smoking is bad for his/her health, yet the person finds immense pleasure in smoking and is reluctant to give it up. When the person is diagnosed with lung cancer, the smoker suddenly has the desire to change his/her mind. Changing our mind takes courage to admit we are dissatisfied with our current status desire to change it to a better alternative. When we can honestly examine our lives and are open to accurate information we can transform our lives for the better.

What If . . .

by

What if today I chose to do something totally different that what I normally do, what would it be like? I might not watch TV tonight. Yikes, what will I do with all that time? Would I slide into staring at my handheld phone, watching videos on my iPad, or going on social media? Can’t do that, it’s just substituting one drug for the another drug. I could go for a walk. I could read a book. I could handwrite a journal entry. I could bake healthy muffins and even eat one as soon as they come out of the oven. I might even sketch a design for landscaping my yard.  There are plenty of alternatives.
