"Work on having only positive thoughts. It will do wonders for your mind," Rebbe Nachman of Breslov.
Something we can actually control to greatly enhance our lives! I have heard people say, but how do we do that? A good start is to have the intention of avoiding any negative thought: this means worry, anger, fear, anxiety, judgement, negativity about oneself/others/situations. Then catch yourself when you are entertaining a negative thought. Isn't the word "entertaining" an interesting one? We do choose and entertain our thoughts. Which thoughts do you want as guests in your mind? The ones you choose affect your entire health, relationships and circumstances. Listen to positive-thinking tapes. Retrain your brain to think positively. It is amazing what a difference this can make in any circumstance; including living with dementia.
