What if I stopped catastrophizing? It’s easy to imagine the worse. We are bombarded with bad news throughout the day. Political parties catastrophize the impact of the other party taking power. The news outlets increase their readership with doomsday reporting. It’s no wonder we often think of the worse possible outcomes. We don’t have to think this way. We can flip the script. When we catch ourselves castrophizing, we can tell ourselves, “there you go again, what if it is a great outcome, what would that look like.” Try it, it works.

Today’s Power Thought ~ Which Memories Fill Your Mind?
We all have both positive and negative memories . Which type of memories fill your mind? Give power to the positive memories and turn the negative memories into something positive. As I view my past, there are some experiences I would prefer not to have had. Yet, when I look at the experiences, I see how they shaped me and shaped the journey I traveled. I didn’t like the experiences at the time; today I am grateful for them.
