Decide what you want. This is THE most important thing you can do to create the life you want. Without first getting clear about what you want, your creative energies are scattered and unfocused.

Your attention is your creative energy. What you put your attention on becomes more real, more prominent in your life. This is true of what you give your attention to in general, but also more specifically in every moment.

We give our attention to the thoughts we think all day long. We empower them with our creative energy. Are the thoughts you’re empowering thoughts of what you want or what you don’t want? Are you empowering something you resist or fear?

As you empower a thought with your attention, you experience the thought in your body.

You experience an adrenaline rush and sweaty palms from watching a movie where the characters are being chased by bad guys because your thoughts about what you see on the screen are translated into your physical experience.

The same is true of the thoughts you have as you go through your day. Become aware of your thoughts as they’re translated into sensations…you’ll be amazed how much of what you feel is in your direct control once you become aware of it.

Stress in the body, and all the detrimental effects of stress, is the translation of stressful thoughts into the experience we recognize as the physical symptoms of stress (i.e. tension, exhaustion, disease, aging, headaches, etc.). You can disengage the stressful thought and eliminate the effects in the body that the thought was producing.

JATAT is a simple process that puts you back in control of your creative energy – your attention. Through the awareness that you’re experiencing a thought in your own mind, you disempower the thought. You’re literally pulling the plug to end the power supply that sustains that thought; power that you could be using to create what you want instead. Awareness recovers spent attention.

This workbook offers a starting place for your exploration and excavation of less than empowering thoughts. As you practice JATAT (Just A Thought About That™), you will notice the ease and joy increasing in your life. With less struggle and more focus, you can more easily create a life you love. Use the Just A Thought About That™ (JATAT) Guidebook (download your free copy) to gain a clear understanding of the JATAT process then use the JATAT Workbook to gain insight into the many uses for the JATAT process.

I recommend printing the workbook and putting it in a three-ring binder with notebook paper to use for the exercises suggested. Although it’s not necessary to write things out each time, it can be very helpful in many cases to write out what you want and all that you think is preventing you from having it.

I encourage you to share JATAT with people you know and form a group of supportive people in your life who also recognize and take ownership of their own lives. We can assist each other to expedite the process as we can more easily recognize other people’s thoughts and stories since we have less emotional investment.
