“YOU are what you think” and “It’s all in the mind” are two phrases we all know and we often use without really thinking. But what do you think? And how do you think? And do you think your thoughts affect your body? And how do you think your thoughts affect your body? What goes on in your mind affects all that you say and do, making the difference between success and failure. The raw material of the mind is thought.

Are you in control of the creation and sustenance of your thoughts? People have usually taken some time to get to know their thought patterns and thinking habits. They recognize their mind as their most precious asset, an essential tool and their thoughts as their most important natural resource.

If you have never given yourself this kind of time and attention to assess and measure the quality of your thinking and how best to use your mental resources, the easiest way is to become aware of the four different types of thoughts which are:

1. Necessary thoughts

2. Waste (superfluous) thoughts

3. Negative thoughts

4. Positive thoughts

As you actively learn to watch the quality of your thinking you will automatically ferret out the superfluous and negative thoughts, denying them the life-giving energy of your mind. This will allow you to regain complete control of all your thought patterns, with no more auto-pilot reactions followed by a feeling of loss or regret. Using your mind to create positive thought puts you back in pilot’s seat all the time, not only enhancing your relationships on the outside but giving yourself the right quality of experience on the inside.

Eliminate the negative, accentuate the positive, act immediately on the necessary and clean waste.

A little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.
The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter:
“Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don’t fall into the river.” The little girl said:
“No, Dad. You hold my hand.”
“What’s the difference?” Asked the puzzled father.

“There’s a big difference,” replied the little girl.
“If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go.”

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond. So hold the hand of the person whom you love rather than expecting them to hold yours…

Laughter, it’s said, is the best medicine. And there’s lots of evidence that laughter does lots of good things for us.

It improves your job performance, especially if your work depends on creativity and solving complex problems. Its role in intimate relationships is vastly underestimated and it really is the glue of good marriages. It synchronizes the brains of speaker and listener so that they are emotionally attuned.

Laughter establishes — or restores — a positive emotional climate and a sense of connection between two people, In fact, some researchers believe that the major function of laughter is to bring people together. And all the health benefits of laughter may simply result from the social support that laughter stimulates.
