Take Control of Your Thoughts
Easier said than done, right?
Sometimes our thoughts just run rampant and we don’t even realize it. Before
you know it you’re in a foul mood simply because you’ve let a negative thought
sequence take over your entire mood.
Acknowledge your thoughts.
What are you thinking about right now?
Are your thoughts causing you distress or supporting a happy disposition?
Pay attention to how your body is
reacting to your thoughts. Be aware of how you are breathing, how your body
feels and reacts to any given circumstance.
You have the power to think about
whatever you want. You have the ultimate say in where your mind goes and what
you choose to focus on, be it good or bad. But first you have to acknowledge
and take control.
However, this does require some
degree of conscious, mindful effort.
As explained, our subconscious is dedicated to our survival. Stepping above
that, to improving ourselves, and our attitude and perspective, requires
engaging our conscious, thinking, rational mind.
