Over time you become so used to something being there, you no longer see it.  A box in the corner of the room, a scuff at the bottom of the door.  We do the same with the thoughts we are thinking.  What is wrong with not being aware of what we are telling ourselves?  Every sentence in our mind produces an emotional response - it is where our feelings come from.  If we are blind to what we are thinking, we are living our lives by default instead of how we would like to be living.  Listen in as I explain this phenomenon, how to undo it, and the amazing effect that can have on your life.  email me at:  [email protected]   Website:  http://joannthelifecoach.com
