The quality of your thoughts determines the quality of your life.

The mind can either be the servant or the master.
Imagine having a key to your mind and opening up the part holding all your thoughts. What would flow out the most?
Healthy thoughts OR thoughts that put you right in the funk?
Now imagine choosing your thoughts to replace what flowed out. What thoughts would you replace them with?
I don't know about you, but I'm replacing them with thoughts that make me feel good.
We always have a choice on what we focus on. Not always easy, yet when we can train our minds to work for us and not against us, it's a game changer.
While grieving a heart-wrenching life experience over the past year, being mindful of my thoughts was crucial in my journey to healing and where I'm today.
When life hits hard, it's easy to go down a slippery slope of a negative thought pattern.
So much is coming at you instantly, and your mind is looking for any possible threat to keep you alive. So it's doing its job.
And sometimes, it just doesn't know you are not in a harmful situation, so things can quickly get heightened depending on what you have been through, especially a traumatic event.
The mind doesn't know what's real or not.
And this can work for us. It allows us to flip the script and focus on more loving thoughts toward ourselves, which can overflow with how we feel about others.
We can choose what we focus on.
When I'm focusing on giving Love to myself, I feel better! It's because I'm filling my internal cup. Love is the most powerful fuel in the universe, and it's free. So loving thoughts to yourself is the best medicine.
I believe it would serve us all to have the mind be the servant, not the master. It's a powerful tool when used to our advantage for our mental health and overall quality of life.
Allowing it to be in the driver's seat when it's NOT necessary can create havoc in our lives. And it can overflow into our relationships.
The promising news is that we can take control of our thoughts and determine how our life turns out. While we may be unable to control some of our thoughts, we can choose not to entertain the negative ones.
It's crucial to recognize that we oversee our thoughts, and our thoughts are not in charge of us. We have thoughts, yet we are not our thoughts!
And we have the remote control to change the channel. We decide what thoughts impact our lives or not.
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. - Charles R. Swindoll

Hi, I’m Francine, a heart-centered coach, speaker and empowered empath.
I help sensitive-driven achievers break free from overthinking, and emotional overwhelm to find the confidence to lead effectively.
Your ability to feel deeply (your sensitivity) combined with your strong drive to achieve, makes you a rockstar in the field of your profession.
However, it also makes you more receptive to stress, emotional overwhelm, and overthinking. All of this often holds you back from unlocking your full potential in your career and frequently disrupts your relationships.
Does that sound familiar? If it does, I hear you. I also walked in those shoes.
The good news is that you’re not alone. And more importantly, you don’t have to live this way. It’s possible to enjoy success without stress.
It’s entirely possible to channel your ambition in healthy ways and use your sensitivity as the superpower it is.
Let me show you how.
