Harness Your Power

Self-sabotage is a real problem for many of us. We can have the best intentions but sometimes our brains will lead us down a path of negative thought and action that can be hard to break away from. Fortunately, there is an answer - intentional thinking. Intentional thinking means being mindful and aware of the thoughts we are having and deliberately choosing to focus on positive, productive thoughts that will bring us closer to our goals. Let's look at how you can make this process work for you.

How Intentional Thought Works
The first step in intentional thinking is becoming aware of your thoughts. You need to recognize when you’re having negative or self-defeating thoughts, and why they are happening. Once you become conscious of these thought patterns, you can start changing them by shifting your focus onto more productive, positive thoughts.

This process works because science has proven that the neurons in our brains form pathways based on what we think about most often. When we focus on negative or unproductive thoughts, those neurons form pathways that reinforce those types of thoughts and prevent us from making any real progress towards achieving our goals. But when we choose to focus on positive and productive thoughts instead, those neurons form pathways that reinforce those types of thoughts and help us reach our objectives faster and with greater ease.

Another benefit to intentional thinking is that it helps reduce stress levels as well as anxiety by preventing us from getting caught up in spirals of negative thought patterns which can be difficult to break out of once they take hold. This reduction in stress also leads to better decision making since there is less emotional charge associated with whatever decisions we make from a place of calm and clarity versus one full of chaos and confusion caused by overwhelming emotions like fear or anger.
The final benefit to intentional thought is increased feelings of self-worth because when we take control over our mindsets, it gives us a sense of confidence knowing that we are capable of achieving anything if only we put enough effort into it; whereas before maybe doubt or fear was holding us back from even trying due to uncertainty or fearfulness over potential failure. All in all, taking control over your mind through intentional thought is an incredibly powerful tool for personal growth!

Conclusion:

Intentional thinking allows us to take control over our mindsets so that instead of allowing ourselves to succumb to self-sabotaging behavior, we can move forward confidently towards achieving our goals with greater ease than ever before! With consistent practice, anyone can begin changing their thought processes for the better in order create more positive outcomes in life! So go ahead - make today the day you start taking back control over your own life by practicing intentional thinking!
