One of the hardest things for people to come to terms with is the effect that their thinking has on their health, body and environment. I remember one particular client who had read a book called “You can heal your life” by Louise Hay; they had a really tough time coming to terms with the way that their health had been shaped and created by their thinking. I remember them telling me that at one point they had hurled the book across the room in temper. I can also remember the transformation in them once they had taken responsibility for their thinking and began to turn their life around.

Not only does the way you think show up in your body, but the way you think also shows up in your environment. If you have a cluttered desk or a cluttered house, then it is highly possible your thinking is also cluttered. A simple sort out and tidy up usually does the trick, however if it quickly gets cluttered again, then maybe there’s something else going on.

Our thinking shapes and creates our words and our actions. So if we take this beyond ourselves as individuals and consider how groups of people think - such as communities, societies, continents and even the whole world - then imagine what an impact on our global environment all this thinking has.

The way that our world and it’s environment is today, is a reflection of our collective thinking. To change the world (if indeed that is our aim) we first need to change our thinking - person by person. So like my client, who took responsibility for their thinking in order to improve their health; to change our environment and world, we need to take responsibility for our thinking, words and actions and how they affect the world we live in.
