SALT LAKE CITY — Negative thoughts are a lot like Gremlins, the pesky little creatures from the popular '80s movie. The more you feed them, the more they multiply.

It's been said that you become what you think about most of the time. In the U.S., where one in 10 adults suffers from depression, it's apparent that most Americans have a difficult time controlling the proverbial snowball of negative thoughts we can have.

Hilary Weeks, the popular faith-based singer and speaker, has felt firsthand the power that negative thoughts can have when you feed into them.

Most people have around 300 negative thoughts every day.

Weeks was told that most people have around 300 negative thoughts every day. Fascinated with the statistic, she started an experiment to find out if it was true. She purchased a small counter, or clicker, and counted her negative thoughts for one whole week. After a week of pausing to recognize each downer and disappointment with a click, she felt drained and low. She wondered if giving the same attention to positive thoughts could have the opposite effect. If we pause to recognize blessings, hope and everything good in our lives with a simple "click," it could lead to that shared goal we all strive for: happiness.

Weeks has created a website inspired by this experience, billionclicks.org . It's a movement that encourages people everywhere to "click" as a reward for their positive thoughts and actions. "Clickers" even log in to report their tallies in the hope that one day the site will reach one billion clicks — an idea that Weeks believes can change the world. So far, nearly half a million clicks have been reported from participants who believe in the motto, "Think. Click. Be."

Clicking is a tool for becoming who we are truly meant to be. Ideally clickers will learn to seek the positive and believe in who they are and what they can achieve.

"Every click is a little more good added to the world — and clearly, the world needs it. Every effort, action and movement that inspires goodness is reason to celebrate."
