The Rocco Effect - 5 Good Things

Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude. ― Ralph Waldo Emerson 

The Rocco Effect - Five Good Things

Video Reading 



How do you feel? I hope it's awesome, but I'm guessing that's not always the case. We're surrounded by greatness, if we know where to look, there is always a reason to feel awesome. If you woke up safe and warm in your bed, acknowledge and be grateful for that. Many aren't as fortunate and are waking up in the streets, but at least they awaken with another chance to improve their lives, many don't awaken to get that chance. Our lives now are infinitely better than those of our ancestors. Health care, plumbing, electricity, more than enough food/clean water and your freedom. Think of each think your grateful for as a gold coin, with each new addition you become a little bit wealthier in happiness and the great thing about this currency is it's laying all around us just waiting to be picked up. Once you start noticing the vast universe of things you should be grateful for you'll find a wealth of happiness.

The Rocco Effect - Fuck Off!

Do not allow negative thoughts to enter your mind for they are the weeds that strangle confidence. - Bruce Lee How often do you have negative thoughts? I'm guessing more often than you'd like. We wouldn't let others talk to us that way, so why do we allow ourselves? Next time you notice one of these thought reply with 'Fuck off!' and replace it with the opposite though Eg. I'm stupid - Fuck off! - I'm a genius. Both are untrue, but one leads to you feeling rubbish and one leads to you feeling good. Why would you choose to feel rubbish when it's just as easy to feel great?  Comic Task   1. Notice your thoughts   2. Tell bad thoughts to 'Fuck off!'   3. Replace thought with the opposite   4. Start feeling great again   Journal questions   1. What thoughts have you told to 'Fuck off!'?  2. What have you replaced them with?  3. How do these new thoughts make you feel?
