Exercise: Assess and Strengthen Your Thought Economy

Step 1: Thought Inventory

• Create a notepad in your phone and label it "Thought Economy."
• Throughout the day, jot down any notable thoughts that come to mind. Don’t overthink it—just log them as they happen. These can be random, positive, negative, or neutral thoughts.

Step 2: End-of-Day Review

• At the end of the day, review your notes. Identify patterns in your thinking. Were your thoughts mostly focused on growth and positivity, or were they filled with doubt, worry, or distractions?

Step 3: Connect the Dots

• Look for connections between your thoughts and the results you achieved that day. Did your productive thoughts lead to good outcomes? Did negative or distracted thinking result in missed opportunities or low energy?

Step 4: Shift Your Focus

• Identify areas where your thought investments were not yielding a good ROI. Ask yourself, “How could I have redirected my thoughts for a better return on investment?”
  For example, if you spent time worrying, could you have instead shifted focus to problem-solving? If you felt discouraged, could you have practiced gratitude or self-affirmation?

Step 5: Plan for a Higher ROI

• Each morning, set the intention to focus your thoughts where they can yield the highest ROI for your personal, emotional, and professional life. Reframe negative thoughts into positive ones, and prioritize thoughts that build momentum and success.
