The thought for the day is that everything simply exists as to how I see it. I used to have a distorted view of life because of drugs and alcohol but now I see clearly. I use things like the mental challenge to help further clear my vision.

Tonight I just share that through this weeks mental challenge I can see improvement in myself and for that I am grateful. Thank you for listening.

This morning I share an example of someone I know who reminded me of how pessimistic I used to be. I am reminded of a sponsor telling me "...I can be happy or I can be right, if I choose to be negative and argue all the time."

Today I choose to be happy, cheerful and appreciative and I am paid for my effort with abundance.

I tell you about how I used to be negative all the time but little by little I used the tools like the mental challenge to exercise in having a positive attitude.

The Seven Day Mental Diet feels like a blessing to me. I didn't have to do this today. I don't "have to" do this podcast and try everyday to find something to post. I Get To! And what a gift it is. Thank you everyone.

As promised I'm up with you guys and beginning the Seven Day Mental Challenge. I will share with you my experiences hoping it will serve to help you with your own challenge.

I offer some of my past experience with changing my mental attitude from negative to positive.

With the commitment to the seven day mental challenge comes the possibility of a flood of negativity. Why does this happen? I can't say for sure but I offer a few ideas that I have encountered that act as an explanation that can serve me and ease my mental continuum.

Today all I talk about is why I did the mental diet and why I'm doing it again. At least I begin explaining that. I'll have more why tomorrow.

Today's episode is my explanation of the Healthy Mental Diet and what to do.
