A Good Nag


You've heard of nagging thoughts? 

Mostly we think of them as negative, but could I change your mind or challenge your thinking on something?

What if nagging could be good?

The word nag is used as a verb and is defined as "incessantly finding fault".

For example it can be used when someone continually reminds you of something you need to do.

"You need to clean up this room!"  "Why haven't you finished the project yet?"  "Where's the stuff I ordered online?"

Let's apply it to our thoughts.

When things are going good, there can be that little voice in the back of your head that says this...

"Yeah well, just wait, something bad is going to happen to mess this up."

And we believe that news readily!

Why!

We are prone to believe bad news over good news.

BUT..

What if the opposite were also true?   I think it can be!
.
What if when things are not going so hot, there was also a nagging thought that said "Things are going to get better, they always do!"

That would be wonderful!

I think it's there all the time, we just need to listen a little more.
