At the core of the recovery process lays the pattern of our thoughts. If our thoughts are dominated by negativity it is very unlikely that we have much promise of recovering.
I now invite you to analyze the reports of your thoughts that you recorded in your notebook over the past three or four days.
- First, tally up the total number thoughts that you recorded (whether they were positive, neutral or negative).
- Second, count the number of instances you recorded a positive thought.
- Third, calculate the proportion of positive thoughts by dividing the number of positive thoughts by the number of total thoughts. This will yield a proportion.
- Fourth – multiply this proportion by 100 so you have a percent which will range between 0% and 100%.
It is possible that if you are in a particularly bad mood, this proportion could conceivably be 0%. It happens to everyone.
What is the result? Is the proportion of thoughts that are positive that you just calculated only 10%? If so, the probability, the possibility, the inevitability of your recovery turns out to be very, very small. I say this even if you are taking positive action on many fronts with regard to therapies and other approaches that you know will make a difference.
Our thoughts lay at the foundation of everything that happens in our lives. If we are inundated with negative thoughts our cells, our muscles, our tissues, our neurons will literally be attacked as if we were in a war zone. Negative thoughts do us no good whatsoever and are very likely to sustain damage to the cells of our body. Positive thoughts on the other hand have an incredibly high energetic charge; they are the source of all healing in our body.
To acknowledge the proportion of positive thoughts offers you a good indication of work that you might consider doing in transforming all negativity. Becoming an individual who has mostly positive thoughts will mean that all the actions, all the steps that you are taking to help you recover from the neurological challenges that you currently experience will in fact take full effect.
For example, perhaps you have decided to pursue a strategy of eating an organic diet of vegetables and fruits. If you are also having positive thoughts in the vicinity of 90% or 95%, this strategy should yield the maximum effect possible. If you’re eating healthy, raw foods and your thoughts are more in the realm of 10% positive, then the end result of eating healthy foods will not have a full effect; it will be significantly diminished.
Bolster then efforts that you are taking now to help your body heal by monitoring your thoughts. Acknowledge the extent to which the proportion of positive thoughts may not be as high as you would wish (if that is the case). Take positive action to banish all of those negative, repetetive thoughts that are not in your best and highest interest.
Many of these negative thoughts rattle around the same way time after time. By the end of the day, we have actually had the same negative and damaging thought as many as 5,000 or 10,000 times in a single day alone. I know this to be true because I have tracked my own thoughts!
To eliminate the damaging effect of negative thoughts and to replace them with positive ones means that we have the energy necessary to manifest our heart’s desire. May you continue to monitor your thoughts with the technology I have introduced this week and become mindful throughout the day of each and every thought that enters into your mind; especially those that you’re having when that buzzer rings off. Set the intention to transform negativity into thoughts that are in your best and highest good and celebrate a recovery that begins to accelerate..
