We can all have down days when we just arent happy, and it can be difficult to think of good things. These days are important because without them, we wouldnt appreciate the good days as much. However, if we are having lots of down days and they dont go away, or lots of days filled with negative thoughts in our head, that is when we need to get to work making new pathways that will leave us feeling better.
As Aroha says, Thoughts are not facts, they are just words in my head.
This book is all about showing how we can affect how we feel, and ultimately the life we live, by becoming aware of our thoughts and changing them if we need to. This book I wrote for my youngest son who tends to think more pessimistically, to help him understand that our thoughts are powerful and can leave us feeling great or terrible. I wanted him to understand that HE has the power to change his thoughts. This is something I wished I learned at a much younger age.
This is a powerful and complex topic that we recommend for kids aged eight years through to teens, and perfect for a lot of us adults too.
