Don’t underestimate your thoughts.
It is not the things that happen to us but how we deal with them.
And as long as we don’t face them like the river’s water surrounding the rock, we won’t flow to the next thing. And we will remain stagnant, and stagnant water ends up smelling bad 🙂
Sometimes I think we human beings are like ideas the universe has; therefore, we are transitory. In the same way, your thoughts are ideas of the universe that is your mind. And you can choose where to put the focus: which thoughts to let go of and which ones to modify so that they flow with reality instead of against it.
- To be able to endure that work that suffocates you.
- To be able to overcome that couple crisis.
- To be able to transcend an economic problem.
The things that happen in our life fall within what we cannot control; how we perceive them, on the contrary, falls fully within the set of things we can control.
And it is not about self-deception but finding the positive point.
Remember that in the Yin and Yan logo, everything good has a bad part, and everything bad has a good amount.
So focus on the good part, however small, and then expand that tiny point until your Yin becomes Yang.
(Yin refers to negative force or energy. Yang is positive energy, clarity, and light, understood as creative and generative).
In other words, life is sometimes a long hill full of obstacles, but it is up to you to climb it without complaining or enjoying the scenery. — In both cases, it is up to you to climb it.
The importance of perspective
The perspective we have of things is so important that we even pay people called Psychologists to listen to us and help us recalibrate our mental perception of things so that they hurt less 🙂
Therefore, we have to understand that thoughts end up being things.
And these thoughts are more important than the objects or external situations they come from.
Moreover, it is these thoughts that provoke emotions in us.
Just as fire burns to warn us of danger or a wound that something is wrong in our body, emotional pain when thinking about something warns us that we have an unresolved issue.
That pain produced by the thought has the good side of alerting us that something is wrong.
That is why it is important to learn to simplify, since thoughts, like objects, take up space.
And when they pile up, they feel overwhelmed and anguish (more pain).
A good strategy
A good strategy can be,
- To start placing thoughts by groups or families of problems.
- To look for the root, to stay with the restlessness that branches into a thousand uncomfortable thoughts, and to get rid of its 999 branches.
- And then use that new mind to better your life.
It makes sense.
Takeaway
Please don’t underestimate your thoughts because they are as real inside your mind as what triggers them outside of it.
Modify your perception of your external world to change your inner world.
Simplify to make mental space so that the excess of thoughts does not oppress you and generate anguish.
And when you are in that state of peace and harmony that allows you to be at 100% of your capacity, look for solutions to the problems that can be solved and stop being overwhelmed by those that cannot.
