The way we Think -- Week 1 

Everything that we say and do arises from our thoughts.

Behind every emotion and action lies a thought.

The reality we experience is a consequence of the projecting nature of our minds.

Each thought shapes what we perceive.

Our thinking can limit us.

How much of what we perceive is really true?

Our tendency is to look externally rather than internally.

We blame others and/or circumstances.

Do we take responsibility for our thoughts and actions?

Our emotional reactions and physical actions are affected by a complex mixture of our experiences, attitudes, perceptions and beliefs.

Neuroscience says there is an intimate connection between our perceptions and attitudes on the one hand and our emotions and motivations on the other.

So if we change our perception and attitudes towards someone, we can change the way we feel about them.

1. If every thought shapes what and how we perceive the world around us, how can we be certain that what we perceive is really true?  

2. Change your mind, change your life. Just like an athlete trains their body, we can train our minds and change. How you feel about this possibility?

 .... or whatever is alive in you.
