Stop Negative Thinking with Positive Thinking Tips

Yesterday I was talking over the phone to a former client of mine, Kathy. A couple of days ago she came back from Europe, where she introduced her new husband to her mother. Yes, Kathy is a newlywed (in part thanks to my successful coaching program), and deeply in love with her husband. So she told me that her mother was surprised and even annoyed with her daughter kissing her husband from time to time in public. She even asked her once or twice, why she was paying so much attention to him, he has her husband now, so why bother kissing him. My friend didn’t argue with her mother, trying to explain that a happy and healthy relationship takes a lot of work.

Well, Kathy was smart enough to let it go until … she came back and called me. She was upset that here mother did not understand that a good relationship is a hard work.

I am also wondering why is that? Why we don’t appreciate what we have until a wake-up call, until something changes, disappears or is lost for good? I mean not only our relationship or marriage but also our children and parents, our health, our career, our friends … does it have something to do with our ancestors, culture, environment? Or is it human nature?

Well – what I am trying to say to you my dear ladies is – stop your negative thinking and try to appreciate what you have NOW and treat it as if it may not be there tomorrow. Your positive thinking affirmations to be happy NOW can help you with being less depressed, stressed and angry, and help you with your sleep needs, overcoming low self esteem, and even, believe it or not, act as a natural fast weight loss technique?

What do you think?
