Introduction

      What if you hate your job but the extra money would help make it more tolerable?

      What if you like your job but do not make enough to live the way you would like to?

      What if you are unemployed and receiving government assistance and think this is all you can achieve in life; or you’ll never be able to do the things you’ve dreamed of; they were only just dreams?

      What if you have always wanted to be an Entrepreneur but never knew where to start so it seems impossible?

      What if you were born into poverty and developed a fixed mindset thinking that this is all I will ever see in life? I will never amount to anything. This is how life will be for me for the rest of my life so I may as well go with it and do what I must do to survive.

      If you have asked yourself any of these questions or have thoughts like these on a regular basis, you have the ability to change these stress and worry causing thoughts. Your thoughts play a role in how you feel. If you think negative, it will show verbally when you speak.

      Through your actions when you interact with others and one of two things will happen if not both. You will push good people away and end up alone (loneliness can lead to depression) or you will attract other negative thinkers and hold each other back through your actions, conversations, and continuous negative energy you all will create around yourselves.

      Negative thoughts are a challenge that we all face, and they create problems or make situations worse than they actually are which is stressful. Do you say negative things to yourself?

      Do you worry about the future?

      Do you criticize yourself?

      Do you spend lots of time focusing on what you lack? These are natural thoughts.

      These negative thoughts can be changed with a willingness to change. Being aware that a change needs to happen. Following and sticking to the steps needed to make the changes you desire.

      Scientists have a theory to explain all this negative thinking.

      It was imperative for human survival. Unfortunately, it is not helpful anymore.

      There was a time that food was scarce. A member of another tribe might beat you to death with a club just for looking at his mate. There were dangerous animals. Those that were overly cautious and worried survived more often than those with a more relaxed attitude.

      Now we have grocery stores, police, and most of the predators are not an issue. We have armies to fight our wars. So you see, even when we don’t see it, or know of it being possible, change is possible. Things can be different, can be better, regardless of its current state.

       Everyday Stress

      This is a big one. Your mind fills with clutter as your stress level increases. Your thoughts become less controlled and more negative. It is not surprising that many serious mental health issues are often precipitated by stressful events. The level of stress that you face each day is relevant to the amount of mental clutter you have.

      It is often the accumulation of little things that have a significant impact. It is traffic, late bills, a runny nose, an annoyed spouse, and a broken shoelace that can send your brain into a tailspin. Too many smaller stressors can be just as stressful as large stressors.

       Decisions

      Making a lot of decisions can really wear you out and create mental clutter. There is a reason why Steve Jobs, Barack Obama, and Albert Einstein limited their daily wardrobes to just a few items – the elimination of choice.

      When you are faced with too many decisions, mental clutter grows. Studies also show that making decisions decreases your ability to make additional decisions. Eliminate as many possible decisions as you can each day.
