When slowing down your thoughts are not enough to appreciate what’s important, then try stopping them all together.
There are some days when it’s just not productive to analyze your life. You don’t see the glass as having anything in it and everything seems like a struggle. All of your fears rush to the surface like a pot of boiling oatmeal overflowing and spilling everywhere. The best choice is to run and turn off the heat. Today was one of those days.
I find that it is has little to do with my reality and it simply has to do with the physiological or psychological state I am in. Sometimes it’s because I had too much sugar the night before or not enough sleep. Sometimes it’s because I am not hydrated enough or have taken too much of an herbal supplement and am detoxifying too fast.
We make the mistake of thinking that these negative thoughts are a real reflection of what is going on. They are far from real and I find the best thing to do is get off the train. I tell myself: I am not going to entertain these thoughts and add fuel. The snowball effect can lead to actions you normally would not take in support of this negative thinking.
If I followed all my thoughts today, I would call this whole thing off and stay at the university. So I have a choice: I could believe these irrational thoughts disguised as logical conclusions or I could call a time out and walk away from them. I choose to walk away, to turn off the burners, to get off the thinking train.
I have a friend who wants me to focus primarily on the positive in this blog. I told him that my intent is to show everyone “a process” for dream manifestation. This includes the good, the bad and the ugly. I could sit here and tell you that all you have to do is believe, receive and achieve but I don’t think that is what you experience as enough when you face your fears and dare to dream. This is not an easy process and if I am going to be as honest and truthful as I could be, I have to also share the dark days with you all.
Tomorrow will be a better day, I believe.
Glad to keep reading that you have not alter your plans. Struggles are sometimes the dark night of the soul leading to that burst of light that raises us so. namaste
