Your Thoughts Create Your Life

“Create thoughts that serve you, not thoughts that you serve."

Last week, we started thinking about what you want 2026 to look like. Today, I want to share something that still amazes me every time I teach it:

Caroline Leaf, a Christian neuroscientist, says, “Thoughts that fire together, wire together.”

In simple terms:
Whatever you repeatedly tell yourself, your brain starts building into your reality.

Those everyday phrases like:
“I hate winter driving.”
“I can’t figure this out.”
“This drives me crazy.”
"I just can't lose this weight."

Yep… your brain gets to work on those.

And the good news? The positive thoughts count too. (I’ve told myself, “I never gain weight over the holidays” so many times that my brain just accepted it. 

So here’s your next step as we move toward 2026:

What thought do you need to unwire? And…What new thought better reflects the YOU you want to become?

Take a moment and write it down. This simple act prepares your mind for the goal-setting work we’re going to do soon.

On Saturday, January 3, in a short webinar, I’m going to show you how your brain uses vision as a map to move you toward the life you actually want. I don't have the registration link ready yet...working on that today. 

You’re doing the work already with your thoughts. Let's get those thoughts helping you become who you really desire to become. 

Thinking great things about you!
