| Oh boy, I've been posting a lot. Sorry! You find this, if you ever meet me, I also talk a lot. The best way to stop me talking, as my producer will verify, is to put a mic under my nose and say "Talk!" Then I shut up. Anyway, I've been looking around for a couple of days, thinking about a lot of things, and I've decided to embark on a 30 day trial. In some ways, I actually started doing this ages ago, but this time, it's a much more conscious effort to achieve something. Although I'm generally very positive and outgoing, inside I'm often very negative about myself and my capabilities. For 30 days, I've decided, I'm going to use the Sedona Method to keep myself working on being more positive. Rather than focusing on all my doubts and fears, I'm going to focus on all the amazing and wonderful things going on in my life right now and in my immediate and long-term future. Last year I attended a 12 week two level course in Buddhism and Meditation (because I'm curious like that), and I recall a few referrals to thought-ruts. The idea is that when you start thinking a particular way, a thought-rut develops, then grows. Neurons fire off and it gets easier and easier to tread that path until it's not so much a rut as a super-highway. Unfortunately, after decades of depression and negative thinking, I've built a lot of doubting, negative highways. The idea is to build some positive, happy highways instead. My starting point is to use the Sedona Method and the Sedona Method's Effortless Creation course to continue releasing negative emotions, to work on Level 2 gratitudes every day and basically, whenever I get a negative thought, to direct it to something positive rather than getting wrapped up in it. Wish me luck! J x

Out of curiosity, what is/are "Level 2 gratitude(s)"? I never knew there were levels of gratitude before.

| Hi Joely! I'm just curious...why would you only committ to thinking positive for 30 days? I mean, I don't think that it would be at all helpful for you to go back to doubting, negative highways? Good Luck |

| Forever is a long time. The 30 day method helps you create the habit because you can commit to almost anything for 30 days. In the case of something like this it would be unlikely you would go back when the trial was over. |
