Unless we think about our thoughts - they JUST HAPPEN. Thoughts do not always tell the truth - sometimes they even lie to us.  We don't have to believe every thought that goes through our heads!  

We need to start examining our 70,000 thoughts/day to see if they help us or hurt us.  When we find ourselves wanting to participate in unhealthy thinking, feeling, or activities, we have to examine the triggering event or circumstances and what are we thinking about them.  What pre-recorded tapes are playing in our brains?  What reckless thinking is getting in our way?

It's amazing how our brains can help us see more clearly.  3 pounds, 100 billion neurons, 100,000 miles of blood vessels…..  We can leverage our brains and specifically, our thoughts, to make our lives better.
