Positive Thinking= Loving your Body


I was listening to a podcast from Compass, a women's coaching group, when the author/coach (Natalie Tucker Miller) said..."our positive thoughts give off energy, or vibrations, into the universe that not only affect ourselves, but others."

This is not the first time I have heard that our thoughts not only dictate how we live, but can also influence how others react to our energy as well. Recent studies completed in San Diego and Britain have shown that happiness is contagious. This is not to say that we should ignore our feelings, or try to deny our hearts when we are unhappy or discouraged. What researchers are showing here, is that by thinking positive thoughts, we can actually choose to change how we and others feel and act. Pretty awesome, especially for those of us who have chronically chosen to be negative toward ourselves.

The next time you hear that little voice inside reminding you about how fat, stupid, or "not good enough" you are, start thinking positive thoughts. It might seem crazy and a little like a lie to think the positive at first, but after trying this in my own life, I have proven this theory works!

Create your own inner catalyst for positive thinking, and watch for others to join you in your happiness!

Interesting as I just heard a comment from a nurse, she said something along the lines of babies can pick up on our energy through our forearms. And nervous, anxious mothers tend to have nervous anxious babies and relaxed, laid-back moms tend to have relaxed laid-back babies because of the energy the kids can sense. Who knows if that is true, but it kind of makes sense.
