Innerwords Newsletter: What You Think Is What You Create!

Your "brain on happiness" is the whole story in being happy. As you smile, as you jump up and down, as you visualize your intention for the day, you are sending the message to your brain that you are happy. Your brain then produces dopamine, which floods your system telling your body to thrive, that all is well. And so the loop of positive messages begins and continues, as you "think it and make it so." Happiness, well being, feeling good, uplifting your spirits, it all starts with your brain.

And the language of the brain is words, so choose yours well. What you think, when you speak, as you listen, all of those words directly impact your brain, your thoughts and perceptions. Your perception of anything you experience, through any of your senses, is translated into thought. As we have established that the thought will trigger the release of neurotransmitters that generate a cycle of ongoing emotional reactions, we now see that choosing the words that make up the thoughts is very powerful indeed.

Choose what you say and think carefully. Control what and who you are listening to, as those words impact your happiness as well. Whether it's the news, or a perpetually cranky friend, negative words and messaging diminish your happiness by creating stress and concern in the listener. As you practice and increase your Happiness Skills mastery, you're going to be choosing your words with care! That's good for you and everyone around you!

1- Your body talks to your mind, send it happy signals with happy body movements, which includes smiling!

2- "What you think is what you create in your life," and thoughts are made up of words. Therefore you want to choose the words you think, say and hear, carefully.

3- That includes being aware of the people you are around, their level of positivity, and other things you hear such as television and radio news.

4- Practice everyday, and see your happiness increase with thoughts filled with positive wording! Yay!
