Is a constant negative running commentary limiting your ability to enjoy your life?
Love your job?
Be positive in your relationships?
Treat yourself kindly?
Research indicates that the average person’s brain receives about 60,000 thoughts per day. And according to those researchers 80% of those messages are negative. The script or recording that plays is habitual thinking. It is as second nature to us as breathing and is an unconscious habit.

Dirty Words That Feel Good to Use
“Never trust anyone.”
“She stole everything from me.”
“He stomped on my heart.”
“They took advantage of me.”
“He was a total louse…”
Okay, okay already, I get the point! You’re the world’s nicest, sweetest kindest soul and randomly, out of the blue, with no good reason, a giant pigeon swooped down from the highest part of the tree and purposefully pooped on your party plate.
