Are you the kind of person whose first thought on Monday morning is "Ugh, I have to go to work. I have so much work to do. My boss is always on my back!"
Yeah, me too. How much better would it be to wake up and think like this, "I’m going to have a good day at work. Nobody is going to get me down today. My day will go smoothly."
Louise Hay, best-selling author of You Can Heal Your Life, believes that the root of many problems begins with negative thoughts. She claims that when we change our thoughts from the negative to the positive we can heal ourselves of conditions like anxiety and depression. Hard to believe? Read on.
According to the Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA), anxiety is the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults age 18 and older. With today’s economy, you might be worried about whether you’re going to lose your job or your house or your car. But worrying will not change anything; it will just make you worry more, cause anxiety, and maybe even make you sick. Instead, try living in the moment. That is Oprah's mantra and look where it got her. Don’t worry about the past or the future. Appreciate today and see what happens.
You may have terrible things going on in your life right now. Someone in your family may be in poor health, you may have lost your job, or are going through a divorce. These are times when fear and anxiety can build to an unhealthy level and take over. Then, you become your own worst enemy. At these times, you need to take control and think positive. You need to appreciate what you have right now. You have to find the good in each day and stop thinking about the past or the future. It may sound corny, but it can work if you are determined to make it work. Try to replace your worried thoughts with some positive thinking. Today will go smoothly. Today will be a great day. Nothing will bother me today.
Be a good friend to yourself. Make up your own positive messages, affirmations, and mantras. Then write them down and keep them with you for the times when you feel anxious or depressed. You might be surprised with the positive outcome.

I was glad I read this article and it mentions that we all are hardwire to think negative thoughts.I find that is so true and I wonder why, I know deppression plays a big part in how I feel but I do fight off the negative thoughts almost everyday and I read positive self help books at night to keep my mind from going to that dark place where it can bring me to tears.My life has been very trying and I get tired easily because of my poor health.I cannot do the things I use to do so I start to think negative thoughts and I know deep down inside it is taking away from the good life I still have,thanks again for this information and extra books I will check it out, I am so glad for this site. Thanks again, Cindy

A NEW Positive Divorce Recovery Book for Your Website Members
My book is all about my own personal experiences with divorce and how I was able to see the upsides in my second chance at life, which helped me to make a GREAT recovery. You can do it too!
My book can help your marriage by showing you the difficult issues you will face. And, if you must divorce, my book can be another source of help to you in order to make a great recovery, just like I did!
I have published a book on divorce recovery called "Yes, There Is an Upside of Divorce, It Can Be Your Second Chance at Life!" You can search "upside of divorce" on Amazon and read the five great reviews I have there. One of my top 5-Star ratings is from Tracy, who is the owner of a national web support group called Woman’s Divorce (com).
My book has a more positive approach to divorce or separation recovery and can be a gift of help from you to other family and friends about how to make a happier and more enjoyable life after divorce.
Book Discounts are available on my own website, Self-Help-Products-and-Services (com) where you can save $4 to $7 off Amazon’s costs per book.
I’m sure most, if not all of those who buy, will find some good help in my book. My ISBN is 978-1-4196-9304-5.
Again, Thanks for a chance here to help someone.
