Change Your Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviors

Your thoughts are powerful. They have the potential to change your life, as well as the lives of others. Learn how you can harness these feelings of emotions for positive change in your life by understanding how your thoughts influence your feelings.


Emotion is a basic human need that can be fulfilled in a variety of ways. At times these changes are sudden and surprising, as when a loved one dies or a relationship ends. At other times they may be a gradual process that builds up over time. Perhaps you have experienced the feeling miserable or angry for days or weeks without knowing why. This unhappiness or anger may be related to an earlier stress in your life or you may be reacting to an event or situation that you have not thought much about.

Your thoughts create the events and situations that result in changes in your life. It is important that you understand this, so that you can change your thoughts to more positive ones. To do this, you must become conscious of the way you think about a certain problem or issue in your life. Take some time out to evaluate the circumstances in your life and analyze your thoughts. Are they based on reality or based on your imagination?

Once you understand how your thoughts influence your emotions, it is easier to change them. Begin by thinking of times when you were angry or sad, or any other emotion you associate with those emotions. Think about what made you angry or sad. What was the source of your upset or disappointment? Once you know what the source was, start to think of new ways you could approach that same situation.

If your thoughts about a particular problem are negative, it is time to change them. You may find that you do not know what to say when you are angry. Start to identify the negative thoughts and then think new ways to express your thoughts. Think about something else that you would feel happy about if it happened again. For example, if you are angry at your spouse for saying something hurtful to you, think about how you would feel if your spouse said those words to you again and how you would respond then.

Do this several times each day. Try to change your negative thoughts to positive ones over a period of time. It can be difficult to change all of your negative thoughts one at a time. However, if you keep at it, you will soon notice a difference in your moods and even your energy level. You will feel better overall.

Your thoughts have the power to control your feelings. When you are angry, your first impulse is to lash out and get angry. This will only make things worse. Instead, focus on what you can do to change your negative thoughts into positive ones. Tell yourself that you are going to change the way you react so that instead of being angry you are joyful.

Your thoughts are incredibly powerful. They can easily shape your feelings and your actions. Take time to learn more about how your thoughts affect you. There is always more information available. In particular, many people are learning about the power of the subconscious mind, which is where negative thoughts come from. By learning more about how your thoughts, feelings and actions are formed, you can begin to overcome problems with your thoughts.

Think of the last time you had a negative thought. Can you think of any reason for your thoughts? Did you find that thoughts were racing through your mind and you just couldn't stop them? Was there any kind of information coming in that distracting your mind? Chances are that you can think of dozens of different reasons why you had those thoughts.

If you want to change your negative thoughts, the first step is to recognize when they are forming. Once you recognize that you are having negative thoughts, start by replacing those thoughts with ones that feel good. This may be something simple as picturing a new or exciting thing happening in your life. Or you could try replacing all of your negative thoughts with positive thoughts. Whatever you choose, just be sure to feel good while doing it. Your subconscious mind will guide you through the process and you will eventually realize that those old negative thoughts are fading away.


Your thoughts, feelings, and emotions are clues to your future. When you send out signals to the universe about how you feel, it's not long before you get what you're hoping for. Don't expect to change your circumstances or the people around you if you don't actively use your power to change them. When you start sending out signals to the universe about how you feel, you'll soon realize that those thoughts and feelings are starting to fade away.
