Hello my soulful friend,

Many years ago, I learned about our Reticular Activating System (RAS). Stay with me here! This part of our brains keeps us from going crazy. It's a sifter, a sorter, and a built-in matchmaker that lives in your head and matches your thoughts.

We have about 70,000 thoughts a day, and 90% of them are negative! Whoa!! That means 60,000 thoughts per day are the opposite of all those mantras you have been saying once a day!

When you spend most of your day thinking, "I want…" 
you're telling your brain you don't have it.
So, how do we shift our brain into believing we already have what we want?
You become a proactive thinker.

Most of us think by default. Our brain loves to solve problems, so let's use this week's Dose of JOY and our JOLT to ask proactive questions.

I want more money
I want to feel healthy
I want more energy
I want all my bills paid in full
I want more clients
I want, I want, I want (you fill in the blank)
Ugh, that...
