Main Questions Asked about Breaking Negative Thinking Patterns:

• What prompted you to write this book?
• How do people get started with this method?
• Is there anything we haven’t talked about that you think is important?

Key Points Made by Ora about Breaking Negative Thinking Patterns:

• Ora’s first Says Who moment was at the age of fifteen when her sister had a mental breakdown. She developed an anxiety that never really went away.
• She believed a thought that wasn’t true. Ora discovered this after a deep inquiry into her thinking mind. This is where the ‘Says Who’ method began.
• We have 40 to 70 thousand negative thoughts each day. It’s the negative thoughts that hit us most that we give the majority of our attention.
• Don’t push away your negative thoughts, analyze them. Your thoughts become beliefs, which become emotion and behavior.
• Realizing a thought isn’t true is a way of releasing them. Many of the thoughts we have are not our own.
• Think about a negative thought that you have and ask yourself these seven questions:
  • Says who?
  • Have I heard someone else say this thought before?
  • Do I like this thought?
  • Does this thought make me feel better?
  • Does this thought work for me?
  • Am I in control with this thought?
  • Do I want to keep this thought or let it go?
• You are the creator and master of your internal dialogue. Release and replace your negative thoughts with thoughts that serve your well being.
• The inner journey is about peeling back the layers and being inquisitive. The Says who method is a way to get to know yourself and come to know what your thoughts are all about.
• The first step is acknowledging you need to change and are ready to change. Be the observer versus being the reactor, witness your thoughts.
• Begin today to get to know your thinking process better. Make a commitment to the transformation.
• Health is more than nutrition and exercise – you need to do some regular mental health cleaning too. Find at least 10 minutes a day to be quiet, still, and with yourself.
