Dear Pat, How can changing what I think change my life?

Dear Pat,
How can changing what I think, change my life? Signed, Wondering

Dear Wondering,

Thoughts are energy and what you believe will come back to you. For example, if you believe that people hate you, you act like they hate you and don't let them get close. You create the experience of being hated. If you change what you think to even the possibility that people like you, you feel better about yourself and take a chance on others. They in turn can connect with you in a better way and let you know they like you, or at the very least, let you know you are not hated, as you first believed.

This takes an effort on your part to change your belief. If you don't feel strongly about the new belief, "fake it till you make it." Take a chance and change the belief. As the results change and you see yourself being treated differently, it will become easier to change your belief the next time.

Pat
