What are you thinking?
Research indicates that the average person speaks to themselves 50,000 times per day and 80% of that is self-talk and most of that is negative. How you treat YOU is important. You have more conversations with YOU than anyone else. What kind of conversation are you having with yourself? Do they feel powerless or powerful? I have come to realise that feeling good about me is also good for you! If I feel good about ME you are going to want to hang out with me.
The level of self-image we have is set by our own personal barometer.
Do we have control of our thoughts in comparison to our thoughts controlling us?
I tell my mind what I will be thinking about not my mind telling me what I will be thinking about. As an example, the person walking two mastiffs literally gets dragged down the street. In this instance, the owner is not taking the dogs for a walk. The dogs are taking the owner for a walk. In many instances this is how we allow our minds to think. Life can feel like our minds are like those huge dogs that just take off and we spend most of our lives just trying to get them home without ruining someone else’s lawn. Our thinking can be like that. If you have never told your mind what to think, it will probably feel like a foreign concept to you. We often try to distract our mind with stuff that we can feed it with. It’s almost like wooing the dogs back home with treats. How do we lead a disciplined life with our thinking?
