Our thoughts constantly bombard us. When one thought leaves, another thought takes its place. It is seemingly a non-stop process. If you’re like me, you’re probably hoping your thoughts take a long weekend once in a while (LOL). I can’t stop my thoughts. I can call in a substitute thought to take the unpleasant thought’s place. e.g., if a thought zings me and causes my anxiety to rise, I can insert a substitute thought (a walk through a mountain meadow). Our minds can hold only one thought at a time.

I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).
