Ever notice the mind chatter that constantly nags? It might tell you to worry, be angry, feel bad… Unless these thoughts drive us to take steps to be better, they are dis-empowering, useless, and destructive. This song reminds me to cut those negative thoughts short, give myself the benefit of the doubt, and be more generous in my thinking about myself.

LYRICS
When you think you’re not enough
When you think you aren’t loved
When they’re calling you a fool
When it says you’re just not cool
When you cannot catch a break
And relive each last mistake
When you think you aren’t tough
CHORUS:
Hang up the phone
Tell those pesky thoughts goodbye
Leave them alone
Let those old, tired thoughts pass you by
Hang up the phone
On those thoughts that say you’re wrong
Get in the zone
To hear those thoughts that make you strong
When it seems too hard to try
When you’re barely getting by
When your life is full about doubt
Wondering what it’s about
When it seems there should be more
Something higher to explore
Don’t go back to that same, old line, oh, no, no
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
You’re better than you think
Trust that bigger you
Open up your mind
To get a whole new point of view
CHORUS
