Every thought has a physical reaction on your body.  Your mind and body are completed connected.  The thoughts in your head can make you physically ill!  They can start the ‘flight or flight’ panic mode.  They can make you depressed.  They can make you dream more at night.  They can make you exhausted.

We’ve seen extreme sports, but I’ve also encountered clients going in for extreme thinking  - “what if this happens…. and then that….if only I could have this….. or he/she would do that….I’ll be happy when…..what if….what if.”

These people often don’t enjoy the present, they live in the future or rake up the past.  They are never in the present moment – but that’s where we are – always.

With this in mind, 4Change believes it’s invaluable to teach some clients thinking skills so that they can control the thoughts in their head, and I have worked very successfully with many clients on this over the past six years.   It’s a simple process and there can be a moment of enlightenment when someone realizes that they just don’t need to carry around all that junk – and that they can challenge some of their imaginary fears.

It’s particularly rewarding to work with young people and give them some simple tips that can literally change their life.

Similarly, CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) is being used more and more in the NHS due to the belief that our thoughts play such an important part in our lives.

Read Richard Carlson’s ‘Stop Thinking Start Living’ – it’s short, simple and excellent.
