Making your mind up

Have you ever given your mind a ‘make-over’? Many people are aware of the power of a physical make-over, be it face, hair or body, but the mind often gets overlooked – we forget to make up our minds.

Contrary to how it sounds, this isn’t about making decisions. Instead, making up our mind can mean that we ensure that our thoughts are positive and our feelings towards others are encouraging and optimistic: we also need to be kind to ourselves. If we can do this, we are truly making up our minds – and the more we do it, the easier it gets. Like most other behaviour, it’s a habit… so new habits can be made and old habits can diminish.
