Summary

Start Your Transformation Now When you think of spending and investing, what do you think of? Most of us think of investing as a good and smart thing, and spending, especially excessively, as a bad thing. Right? How about we put this into a new perspective? How about your thoughts, thinking, and emotions? What if we put the old-fashioned “swear jar” on the counter, as a metaphor? With the “swear jar,” each time you said a bad word you have to put a dollar into it. And, of course, this means there is a cost to using bad words. Actually, there is a loss of that dollar from your pocket. Now, what about your thoughts? What if all disempowering, fearful, and negative thoughts cost you? And, the reverse, all positive thoughts were an investment in a better quality of life? What if every time you had a negative thought and got into fear you spent your life and when you were positive in your thinking you were investing in your life? In this episode, I talk about a few strategies to interrupt your negative thoughts.

painter or sculpture or maybe you want to create a financial portfolio of, let's say, $100 million.

I have this concept, and I am this concept called energy, but I'm either spending it or investing

it. We have to look at what are we doing with our energy?
