We Hold The Remote Control

Has a specific song ever popped into your head, and you keep singing it all day long? I am asking because I found myself humming a good one the other day, and it made me think of all the different songs and thoughts we play in our heads over and over again every moment of our lives. 

You know, songs like “I am not enough,"It’s too hard", “Something is wrong with me", or that timeless classic, "No One Loves Me”. Oh, how easy it is for us to slip into the same old, downbeat songs and thought patterns that cloud our moods, fill us with doubt and cause us to stagnate and stall. Negative thoughts can play with our souls and overwhelm us with indecision and fear. 

Good thing we don’t have to listen. The only things we have to worry about are our thoughts. We can change the tune or the channel when we want to. It’s up to us. We can play what WE want. We can CHOOSE what we want to play or listen to.

I learned about the power of positive thinking in my early 20s from books by Louise Hay and Emmett Fox. Attitude is EVERYTHING, but changing my attitude and thoughts all at once felt like trying to steer the Titanic. I decided to start changing my thoughts and my world one song and thought at a time. That is when I realized...

Self-discipline is self-love!

We are what we think and what we do. It's that simple. We must change our thoughts, brush our teeth, go to the gym, eat vegetables, stay healthy, try new things, roll the dice, start a conversation, and save a relationship and ourselves.

No one is coming! It's on us. We hold our remote control. Only we can guide our inner compass. We are what we do and think and eat. The New Year is the perfect time to figure out what we love and want and get to it! 2024 is about self-love and self-discipline.

If you love it, get it. If you can think it and see it, you can be it. You have the power to change and sing your own new song!
