Spirituality
don’t serve you. By the age of 35, 95% of who
we are is a memorised set of behaviours,
emotional reactions, unconscious habits,
hard wired attitudes, beliefs and perceptions,
which function like a computer program. So, a
person can say with 5% of the conscious mind
they are using daily; I am happy, I am healthy,
but your body is saying something completely
different. Our body is 100% responding to our
thoughts.
THINK YOURSELF TO
Happiness
Transformation Coach, Elena Sharanhovich,
believes we can use our thoughts to change
our state of mind to one of happiness. Our
body responds to our thoughts, if we can stop
dwelling on the past and change our thought
patterns, it will help us achieve happiness.
Do you believe in the idea that
the way you think has some
effect on your life?
It was my “AHA” moment; the life I am living
today is a result of my past thinking. As soon as I
realised that my thoughts create my reality, my
life started shifting completely. After resting my
brain for 17 long years in the beauty industry,
working with my hands, I started transforming
first my own life and then the lives of others as
a coach.
Did you know that the average person has 60-
70 thousand thoughts a day and 90% of those
thoughts are the same as the day before?
Thinking is one of our habits and we humans
are the architects of our habits.

You wake up in the morning and start to focus
on your problems, while your problems are
circuit memories from the brain, each one of
them connected to people, things and certain
times and places. Each one of those memories
has an emotion. Our emotion is the product of
our past experiences. The moment when you
recall those memories you feel sad, you feel
pain, or you could feel very happy, depending
on the memory you connect with. So, how
you think and how you feel creates your state
of being, and if you choose to focus on your
familiar past, sooner or later it will be your
predictable future.
Then you go through a series of routine
behaviours: checking social media accounts
as soon as you open your eyes and collecting
bad news from all over the world, going
to work the same way, having the same
unconscious
meaningless
conversations
with the same people, which pushes the
same emotional buttons… which becomes
a routine/neural pathway in your mind. You
program your subconscious mind with your
habitual behaviours and old routines which
I challenge you, for next seven days, just to
observe your thinking patterns.
Does dwelling on the past help you to create
your happy future?
Follow this simple formula and
remember:
Furthermore, a lot of people are living most
of their lives in a state of stress, where the
brain and body are out of balance. However,
if you are experiencing this all day, triggered
by your perceptions of your daily duties; your
colleagues’ opinions; your partner’s actions;
your friends or children and your stress
response is permanently turned on fight/flight
mode, in the long term, this will make you ill.
No organism in nature can live in emergency/
survival mode for a long time.
Emotions created by biochemical stress and
connected to our survival instinct are: anger,
aggression, fear, anxiety, worry, pain, suffering,
guilt, shame, jealousy. If you constantly connect
to something negative which happened
six months ago or six years ago, you are
conditioning your body to stay in a state of fear,
it is programmed subconsciously. If you are
still angry about something which happened
to you ten years ago, it simply means you didn’t
learn or change since that time.
It is a scientifically proven fact that biochemicals
of stress inhibit your immune system, making
you vulnerable to disease. We can create a
stress response by one thought, meaning our
thoughts can make us sick. So, if it’s possible
our thoughts can make us sick, could they
make us well and happy?
Absolutely!
Meditation is a magic tool to change the
operating system of your mind and could
improve your mental and emotional health.
Most people wait for something dramatic
to happen in their life before they change;
trauma, loss, illness, tragedy. Why wait? You
can choose to learn and change in a state of
suffering or in a state of love and happiness.
The same thoughts lead to the same
choices
The same choices lead to the same
emotions
The same emotions create the same
experiences
The same experience produces the same
behaviour and creates your life
