Space of Thought

Took placeNovember 25, 2022
LocationAbu Dhabi, Abū Z̧aby, United Arab Emirates
FormatYouth
Did you know that humans have around 6.5 thoughts per minute or about 6,000 thoughts per day assuming 8 hours of sleep? Our thoughts are the catalyst for self-perpetuating cycles. What we think directly influences how we feel and how we behave. So, if we think we are a failure, we will feel like a failure. Then, we will act like a failure, which reinforces our belief that we must be a failure. The good news is that with practice, we can train our brains to think differently. When we give up those self-limiting beliefs and replace our “Space of thought” with those empowering beliefs, visualizations, manifestations, and positive self-talk, we will be better equipped to reach our greatest potential. Here, we cordially invite all of you to attend our Tedx Event themed “Space of Thought” on Friday, 25th November 2022, at the BRS Auditorium, Bright Riders School, MBZ city, Abu Dhabi, UAE You will listen, learn and leverage from inspiring speakers who will take you through their space of thought and leave you educated, empowered, and enriched!
