What We Think We Become – Buddah

what we think we become

Time and again I realize how important it is to catch our thoughts and shift towards ones that better serve us.

Yesterday, I actually had a dream about a situation that was happening in my  life.  I am thankful to have had someone to talk to that was able to shift my perspective.

We all need someone we can talk to, otherwise those voices inside can really make up stories.  Think of a person that would be able to listen if you have a negative feeling or thought.  Someone objective who can see the “3 sides” to the situation (your side, their side and the “truth”).

Sometimes, things are not as they seem.  The belief you apply to a circumstance you are experiencing might not be what is happening at all.  That’s what misunderstandings are made of.

And, most importantly, when we keep it inside we can cause worry or anxiety or sadness or depression.

Any time we can get awareness about ourself and tools to control our thoughts — to STOP and take a moment to shut our unconscious downward spiral down — to recognize the thoughts that help us or hurt us, is an amazing thing.

This awareness is LEARNED behavior.  We are not born with the ability to have self-awareness, we learn it.

Today, try to not let the negative voices tell you stories.  Make today, your right now, what you can control, your focus.

I believe that it’s time to enjoy your life.

I believe that it is TIME to Play <3 Love, Doreen Guma
