Do On The Inside

What you do on the inside effects your brain and chemistry and blood and DNA much more than anything you can do on the outside.

I know many people who decide they will never be happy again. Never make money again. Never find romance again.  And, of course, there's no way to argue with them. It's often hard to listen to them. And eventually you avoid them. They will prove themselves right.

This is not law of attraction. Money doesn't rain down on the lucky (mostly) or the optimistic. But it certainly doesn't arrive at the doors of people who barricade their houses.

And it can't happen if you are stuck in bed. Or bloated with the enormity of your problems. Or satiated with the tiredness of your daily routine.

  • Take a walk. Be a mover and not a statue.
  • When you get tired, sleep instead of eat.
  • Read books that are inspirational. For me, this helps rewire the brain for a few hours. It's hard at first. The brain tries to slap you: "I don't need rewiring", but for me it works.
