Are you ready? Your focus and eventually your life will change with this powerful step that is so simple that would laughable if you weren’t so tired. Did you know that your thoughts determine your focus? In turn, your focus determines your actions and your actions determine the direction that you life takes.
So, you may be thinking, “How is changing my thoughts going to change the fact that I am a single parent who works way too many hours, barely sleeps and can’t even imagine what going on a date would feel like?”
I have been there and what I am about to tell you is exactly how I changed my life.
Negative messages bombard us continually in life. Most of these are self imposed and in reality hurt us, while only a small percentage are actually important to our survival.
So, how do you begin to change your thoughts?
More importantly, those self-imposed thoughts that no longer serve you or your future. The first thing is to become aware of them and start implementing a simple practice that will allow you to change these patterns.
Here’s my one simple and powerful strategy: Get a journal!
To be clear, your journal doesn’t have to be fancy. It can be as simple as a spiral notebook. The important thing is that you have a dedicated place to complete this one-week strategy. Because, every day this week you will follow the guidelines I’m sharing and write in this dedicated space. Yes, every day!
How bad do you want to change?
How bad do you want the post-divorce life you deserve?
You can have this new amazing life! You deserve it!
