Imagine your mind is a big room. Each of your thoughts is an item in the room, like furniture, artwork, knickknacks, and so on. Your positive thoughts are the stuff in this room that bring you joy, like comfortable couches, beautiful artwork, and so on. Your negative thoughts are the ugly, uncomfortable, tacky decor and clutter that at best does nothing for you and at worst repulses and hinders you.

Most people’s rooms are filled to the gills with all kinds of clutter and junk, most of it falling into the ugly, tacky category. There’s hardly any space to move around and do anything because the room is so full.

So the trick is to get rid of all the tacky negative thoughts, which for most of us on the planet means we’re left with a big, mostly empty room. But look at all the space to work with! It’s now up to you to decide what kinds of things you’d like to go in this room.
