Reality #4: I decide what I will do in any circumstance, and set healthy boundaries for myself and with others. I take control of my behavior, and help others understand what I will and will not expose myself to for my own well-being. It is not to control others, but to take control of myself in any given situation. Reality #5: I understand circumstances do not determine my feelings or behavior, ultimately. I have thoughts about what happens in life which determines everything else I experience. There is a relationship between my thoughts, feelings, and actions, and what I experience in my own life. That relationship forms a running sequence that begins with, and flows from, every thought I think. I choose to think thoughts that help me achieve satisfaction and success in my life, work, and relationships. Reality #6: I make transformative changes in my life knowing the way I see myself, others, and circumstances is determined by my own beliefs. Because of my own confirmation bias , I challenge my beliefs when I need to, to be sure what I think helps me cultivate a healthy attitude and accomplish what I really want in my life, work, and relationships. I work toward moving from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset, believing anything is possible. Reality #7: I deal with the discomfort I experience when I’m trying to believe new things so I can make important changes in my life. When holding two opposing beliefs creates cognitive dissonance , I manage the process of learning new things to develop a belief system that works the best for me. I shift my thoughts intentionally, and determine the results I want for my life, work, and relationships. Reality #8: Change is an inevitable part of life and I embrace when it happens in mine. I do not need to fear change and I can accept it when it’s happening. When change challenges me, I learn more about myself, including my strength, perseverance, and resilience. I discover more about who I am and who I want to be. I remain flexible and find meaning and purpose in any life circumstance. When I need to make important changes in my life, I hold to my belief this will be a good thing for me. I choose to do the necessary work of transforming my life to create a life that looks more like I want it to.
