Negative, distracting, or disagreeable thoughts could lurk in the corners of your mind today. You may be preoccupied by thoughts that filter through your mind in a circular and repetitive fashion. These thoughts could leave you feeling distressed or stuck, and they may keep you from moving forward today. You may be able to remedy the situation, however, by relaxing, easing the tension in your muscles with stretching exercises, and breathing deeply. Once you have reached a state of calm, you will be able to replace any negative thoughts with more positive and uplifting ones. If you can do this each time a negative thought arises, you may find that it becomes easier to focus your mind on pleasant topics.

When you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you open your mind to a new way of thinking. Negative thoughts and feelings can take your focus away from what is important. By choosing to focus on positive thoughts and do your best to let go of negative ones, you pave the way for success because you become optimistically attuned. You'll learn to see blessings, instead of dwelling on life's challenges, and anticipate positive outcomes rather than worry about the negative ones. Cynicism is a habit that can be broken, while positive thinking restores us to our natural mental state. If you are willing to replace unpleasant thoughts with positive thinking today, you will free yourself from unnecessary mind chatter and create what you want in life.
