One Simple Phrase that Will Change Your Thoughts

[EXCERPT] As human beings, the stories we subconsciously tell ourselves about our circumstances, about others, and about life in general drastically changes how we feel.  If the stories are positive, we tend to feel good.  If the stories are negative, we tend to lose hope.

Of course, there’s more to feeling good than just being positive.  The details of your present reality matter and make a difference, but generally speaking, you’re not going to have a good day today if you’re hell-bent on telling yourself otherwise.

To a degree you know this already, right?  But there’s more…

The stories we tell ourselves don’t just change how we feel – they actually change what we see, what we experience, and what we know to be true.  This is one of the primary reasons multiple people can go through the same experience, but interpret it differently.  Each of us may enter a shared experience with a different story echoing through our mind, and our unique story – our inner dialog – alters the way we feel every step of the way, and so each of us exits this shared experience with a slightly different feeling about what just happened.  And sometimes that slight difference makes all the difference in the world.

If we want to get on the same page with one another, and garner a better understanding of reality, we have to do a little work.
