    In this episode, I explore the power of perspective and how it can influence our thoughts, emotions, and actions. I discuss the importance of understanding the stories we tell ourselves and how they shape our perception of reality. Our thoughts can create our reality, and I share examples of how this can happen.I delve into cognitive reframing techniques such as thought stopping, thought replacement, and cognitive restructuring that can help us manage negative thought patterns and develop a more positive mindset. Additionally, I discuss the benefits of a gratitude practice, such as increased happiness and reduced stress, and how mindfulness can help us live in the present moment.I also examine how our perspectives on change and growth can impact our well-being and how finding joy in everyday life can lead to a more fulfilling life. By intentionally focusing on the positive and practising gratitude, we can reframe our thoughts and find joy in even the most challenging situations.Ultimately, I want to empower listeners to take control of their thoughts and emotions and choose a perspective that allows them to find joy and fulfilment in everyday life. By intentionally focusing on the positive, managing negative thoughts, and finding joy in everyday life, we can develop a more positive and fulfilling outlook on life.Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/fass/marina Licence code: FTUXVAV5V28UQ2RW3
