Positive Thinking and an August Recap


Hi friends! While on vacation recently, I had ample time to knock out a few books and loved getting back into reading. I will start sharing book recommendations and reviews with you. For now, I am currently reading “Unsinkable Faith” by Tracie Miles. I can’t recommend this book enough! We all know that the way we live and lead our lives really starts with the way we think – and that is a powerful truth.

I know at times (and sometimes often!) I feel tangled up in my own negative thoughts. The way I think starts to penetrate my heart and dangerously my belief system. And it is no surprise it eventually impacts my environments, my mood, habits and even my own family. That is why thoughts are so powerful and need mindful healthy practices to keep them in check so that you and I can a life full of hope and optimism. And optimism is inspiring and contagious! The book offers pratical steps in achieving that. Here is an excerpt:

Unsinkable Faith is a breath of fresh air for anyone longing for a heart full of joy, an unbreakable smile, and a new, more optimistic perspective on life. This book will equip you to: • Replace pessimism with positive thinking by becoming the captain of your thoughts; • Learn how true joy and happiness are based on choice, not circumstances; • Overcome unhealthy habits of negative thinking by intentionally implementing three easy mind-renewing steps; • Stop feeling hopeless and pitiful, and start feeling hope-filled and powerful instead; and • Discover that when you change the way you think, you change the way feel, and in turn you can change your life completely.
