Generation Twist

Thoughts influence emotions. Emotions shape behaviour.

What are you thinking right now? Pause and listen to your thoughts (self-talk). What emotions are attached to this thought? Name them. How do they make you feel? (Emotion and feelings are different, but more on that later.) Notice the actions that follow those feelings. What actions or behaviours follow? What do you do? Write it down.

Now ask, 'Is my behaviour reinforcing the very thought I began with?'

Do you see how your behaviour can reinforce those same thoughts- creating a cycle, a loop that keeps us trapped? But awareness is the key. Change your thoughts, and you shift your emotions. Change your emotions, and you transform your behaviour. Change your behaviour, and you change your life.

Be intentional with your thoughts, and watch how it transforms the way you feel, act, and live.

A world that neglects its citizens reflects a people who neglect self-love—not selfish love, but the kind that is compassionate, gentle, and uplifting. When do we practice respect, patience, and commitment, if not on ourselves first? What you give yourself with kindness, you store in abundance to share with others. If you seek a world that cares, begin by nurturing that care within yourself.
