Negative thoughts alter our brain’s biochemistry and how this leads to an epidemic of anxiety and depression. It stands to reason if negative thoughts impact us physically than so do positive thoughts.
So, if we can understand and change the foundation upon which our thoughts and beliefs are based then we can change how we deal with the everyday challenges.
We are not powerless! We are not weak! We can be happy becuase happiness stems on how we cope with the everyday, even when things are bad.

I found this story on TED a while ago and after watching the video was simply amazed. Jill Bolte Taylor is the neuroanatomist who studied her own stroke as it happened. Click here to watch the video.

When thinking changes your mind, that’s philosophy.
When God changes your mind, that’s faith.
When facts change your mind, that’s science.
What changes your mind?
Human beings are complex entities. You may have a propensity towards faith, maybe it is science, maybe something else; no doubt, we rely on many things to get through our day. Whatever works for you, that’s what matters.
