They help us think, learn, and do all sorts of amazing things. In this story, Aroha learns that she can create pathways in her brain to lead her to different outcomes. It is all about what thoughts she chooses to focus on. The more we practise noticing our thoughts and ensuring we have plenty of good ones, the stronger these pathways will become. Pathways that we create using good thoughts will lead us to a happier and more content life.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAs Aroha says, ‘Thoughts are not facts, they are just words in my head.’\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003eWe can all have down days when we just aren’t happy, and it can be difficult to think of good things. These days are important because without them, we wouldn’t appreciate the good days as much. However, if we are having lots of down days and they don’t go away, or lots of days filled with negative thoughts in our head, that is when we need to get to work making new pathways that will leave us feeling better.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is all about showing how we can affect how we feel, and ultimately the life we live, by becoming aware of our thoughts and changing them if we need to. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a powerful and complex topic that is recommended for kids aged eight years through to teens, and perfect for a lot of us adults too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\"Aroha's Choice supports children (and adults) to understand how our neural pathways can create automatic ways of thinking and behaving. It beautifully explains that if our thinking is holding us back, we have the power and capacity to reform it in ways that uncover our strengths and develop our self-confidence. I would love a world where children recognise when their thinking needs to shift from dis-empowered to empowered, and they knew how to do it.
