Did you know I love police officers?

It’s because my dad, Larry, was an officer when I was a little girl.

Sometimes it was scary. We never knew for sure whether he was going to come home each night.

But I still loved that he went out and stopped “bad guys.”

“Bad guys” come in a lot of different forms, and one of those forms is thoughts – specifically, thoughts that stop you from succeeding.

Sometimes they convince you that you “can’t” do something.

Sometimes they scare you into thinking you’re going to fail.

If something doesn’t work out, they tell you you’re a failure.

They also talk you into destructive behaviors, either with bullying or sweet talk. And they can rot you from the inside out, by holding on to anger and resentment.

Keeping these kinds of thoughts out of your head 100% of the time isn’t a skill most people have, but that’s okay.

You may not be able to keep a destructive thought from entering your head just yet, but you do get to decide whether you keep thinking it.

Don’t torment yourself by letting destructive thoughts stick around.

When they pop in, stop them, arrest them, and send them on their way.

Thoughts that don’t serve you don’t have to run your life.

Make a point to move past them the instant they pop into your head, because the longer they stick around, the harder they can be to get rid of.
