Positive Thought Challenge

Have you ever stopped and just sat to think about what most of your thoughts are? To see if they are thoughts that are negative and bring you down? Or if they are thoughts that are positive and uplifting?

This is probably something that most of us don't stop to think about. I never put any thought to if my thoughts are positive or if they are negative till today....when I realized just how much negativity can be in our lives from negative thoughts.

Today I got the chance to hear from Hilary Weeks (billionclicks.org) talk about positive thoughts and I was blown away by her amazing talk. It really touched me and inspired me to try to be more positive in life. Forget about the negativity. Focus on the positive and try to be a better person. We all want to be happy and in order to be happy we have to have positive uplifting thoughts. Thoughts that make us happy for who we are and not negative thoughts that make us sad for who we are not and want to be.

One of the things that she asked us was... "If something had to run through your mind everyday to make you who you are what would it be?" As I thought about this question I realized that there are so many positive things about me that I should be thinking about everyday to make me a better person and that I need to push out the negative thoughts. The negative thoughts are not going to get me any where in life besides to a state of depression that no one wants to be at. We all want to be happy and strive everyday, looking for different ways to be happy. I know that by thinking positive thoughts I will be able to be happier in life. Look at the little things that make you happy.

I have decided to take on a positive thought challenge and want to challenge each and everyone of you to join me in this challenge. In this challenge I want you to keep a count of how many positive thoughts you have each day for at least a week. At the end of each day I want you to write down in a journal or something how many positive thoughts you had that day. At the end of the week add up all of those positive thoughts and record how you feel. Feel free to share your thoughts with me or with who ever you want to. Also if you want to, send this challenge on to your friends. In addition to the positive thoughts challenge, I want to challenge each of you to only post positive status's on Facebook. Don't post anything for a week that is negative or depressing. See how you feel by the end of the week.
