Hi Cindy. It's not an overnight process. I am practicing everyday -- becoming more aware of my thought patterns and replacing those negative thoughts with something more positive. One thing that helps -- starting the day with gratitude. I wake up and start thinking of all the things I'm grateful for -- my children, my home, the fact that we have plenty to eat and fuel to heat the house. This puts me in a better frame of mind to start the day. I still battle with negative thoughts -- but it gets easier over time.
