THE HEAD IS A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD


Someone recently said: "Don't stay in your head too long because it's actually a bad neighborhood."  I thought that was very insightful.  We often have very destructive thoughts about ourselves and of others when we let our heads take control. 

It was explained to me that the brain forms a groove of negative thoughts.  After years and years of adding to this groove, our instinct is to keep adding to it, feeding ourselves with negative reinforcement.  It doesn't have to be a permanent grove, though.  We make a positive groove right next to it and the more we feed the positive groove, the deeper it gets.  It takes work and a conscious effort, but you CAN change your brain.  Get out of those negative thoughts.  Get out of the head of destruction.  Affirm your worth!

Today's positive affirmation: I am beautiful.

Today's gratitude: I am grateful to be surrounded by supportive people.
