I never new who my father really was, or where he was. He was a missing piece, I suffered from not having that role model in my life. This is why I get great fulfillment from being a role model to the youth, giving them something I never had.

Understanding positive thinking and self-talk

Being a Life Coach is not always easy to help others decide in there choices of directions. We want the best for those who don’t push to the limit to succeed in there path of broken desires. We know that it starts with YOU! 

Many times in my own past mistakes I had a choice to choose the right path or the wrong path that hunted my future for many years because of choice! It hurt so bad that I had to surrender to positive thinking for good! Of course we all fall, attend to put ourselves in a jail cell or prison wall’s that make us reflect on the situation for change behavior. Many years I had to deal with facing productive challenges for better choices. If I can do it, YOU can make it though the cracks of earthquakes around you with out stumbling. It’s all a Mind - Set to your out look on life. Put yourself in first gear and take it day by day and watch yourself grow. 

Positive thinking doesn't mean that you ignore life's less pleasant situations. Positive thinking just means that you approach unpleasantness in a more positive and productive way. You think the best is going to happen, not the worst.

Positive thinking often starts with self-talk. Self-talk is the endless stream of unspoken thoughts that run through your head. These automatic thoughts can be positive or negative. Some of your self-talk comes from logic and reason. Other self-talk may arise from misconceptions that you create because of lack of information or expectations due to preconceived ideas of what may happen.

If the thoughts that run through your head are mostly negative, your outlook on life is more likely pessimistic. If your thoughts are mostly positive, you're likely an optimist — someone who practices positive thinking.

The health benefits of positive thinking

Researchers continue to explore the effects of positive thinking and optimism on health. Health benefits that positive thinking may provide include:

Increased life span

Lower rates of depression

Lower levels of distress and pain

Greater resistance to illnesses

Better psychological and physical well-being

Better cardiovascular health and reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease and stroke

Reduced risk of death from cancer

Reduced risk of death from respiratory conditions

Reduced risk of death from infections

Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress

It's unclear why people who engage in positive thinking experience these health benefits. One theory is that having a positive outlook enables you to cope better with stressful situations, which reduces the harmful health effects of stress on your body.

It's also thought that positive and optimistic people tend to live healthier lifestyles — they get more physical activity, follow a healthier diet, and don't smoke or drink alcohol in excess.
