You are programming your mind, day in and day out, whether or not you realize it. The thoughts you CHOOSE to think powerfully affect the emotions you feel, the moods you experience, and the actions you take. While you may not be able to control the thoughts that come to mind, you can certainly control the thoughts that STAY in your mind. You have the power to re-frame anything and your re-frame can significantly impact your effectiveness.
