patterns are playing in your head. Dis-empowering thoughts will never make your body feel

take responsibility and look at the bright side of things.

using our reframing format (example shown below), found in our Lif e Coach in a Book . It?s easy. All
you have to do is follow the prompts to acknowledge the most pervasive thoughts that
affect you in a negative way, then reframe them in a more helpful way. Over time, you will
develop a repertoire of more helpful responses when challenges arise.You may also

EXAMPLE
SITUATION: I didn't get accepted into the college I wanted.
NEGATIVE THINKING: I became angry and hurt. I felt like giving up and thought I would not get
accepted into any program I applied to.
REFRAMED: I accept the fact that sometimes things do not turn out the way I'd like. I will keep
doing my best and note what I need to change to be accepted into another program.

Creating long-lasting change in your thinking takes determination and consistent practice. This
deep, transformative work will make-over your life in ways that you can?t even
imagine. As you cultivate more positive thoughts, your perception of life will
change; more important, you will change. You will be happier, more trusting and
loving, living in a world that feels more safe, abundant and bright. Your life will
take on a whole new meaning as it expands to embrace healthier relationships,
success and greater joy? more than you ever dreamed possible.
