You might have heard the buzz about positive thinking, but have you ever wondered if it truly works?

People are often encouraged to visualize their goals, maintain an upbeat attitude, and affirm positive outcomes.

Today, I am going to share the power of shifting your thinking and the impact it has on our lives. We'll begin by dissecting the concept of thinking into three distinct types. It's an eye-opening revelation that sets the stage for our main topic - the Possibility Mindset. This mindset is a game-changer, a shift in thinking that can transform the way you approach life.

Do you like spending time alone or by yourself?

How does alone time help clear your mind and fuel positive thoughts?

Today, I am excited to share a conversation I had with Tom Bilyeu in his podcast, Impact Theory, where he interviews me about my profound journey through solitude, relationships, and self-love.

We kick things off by shedding light on the wisdom found in ancient texts like the Vedas, which many monks study in solitude. It's a reminder that spending time alone is not a sign of weakness; in fact, it can be a powerful tool for personal growth. I share the incredible benefits of allocating just one hour a week to being alone with your thoughts, a practice that can transform your life.

As we venture further into this enlightening conversation, we discuss the importance of dealing with life's challenges, share insights on daily meditation, and the complexities of loneliness and why it's essential to feel seen, heard, and understood in our relationships. With heartfelt anecdotes and wisdom, we explore the concept of love, self-worth, and the hard work required for genuine, lasting relationships.

In this interview, you’ll learn:

• How to be comfortable with being alone
• How to sit with your inner thoughts
• How to prepare for love
• The tips to finding true love
• How to make relationships last
• The impotence valuing self-worth
• How to build lasting trust on others
• How to maintain a successful marriage

Remember, relationships are just one part of our life's journey, and it's up to us to make it a meaningful and fulfilling one. Let’s navigate the complexities of life and relationships with wisdom and love.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
