Scientists and physicists believe that thoughts are not just words in your head; they actually become units of energy that radiate out from you and affect your environment. Your thoughts largely influence your physiology, attitudes, actions, and entire experience of life. Thoughts also attract circumstances that resonate with their own energies.

Remember your natural state – your connection to stream of wellbeing. Appreciate more – criticize less often Relax and become curious and playful Fix less – Savor more
