It has been said that our thoughts are comprised of
energy. Thoughts become formulated in
our minds in response to our environment and all of the stimuli that exist in
our everyday lives. If we understand the
importance and implication of this fact, we might do very well to be more mindful
of what we allow to cross our minds!
Imagine that moment by moment, every thought that
enters your mind is instantly manifested in front of you. What if your thoughts were automatically formulated
into clay models? What would you be
molding and carrying around with you?
Here’s a simple comparison of daily outcomes driven by thoughts:
Scenario 1
· You preemptively state how bad traffic will be, and there’s probably an accident or construction or another delay ahead
· You gripe internally about how long the line will be to wait to get coffee
· You just know that your annoying co-worker is going to ‘throw you under the bus’ today
Outcome: Exactly what
you said would happen - did. See the irritated
green monsters above. J
Scenario 2
·
You look forward
to another day of life – no matter if it’s a full day of work, a vacation, day,
or a weekend day· You just know that there will be no traffic to hold you back either heading to work or somewhere else
· You look forward to seeing who is in the coffee shop to start their day and, out of curiosity, you wonder what is going on in their lives
· You welcome any interaction with any co-worker because nothing can get you down! Who knows what they are dealing with – it might be much more than what you have on your shoulders.
Outcome: Optimism and positive thoughts gather together to bring delight into your day. See that happy butterfly with free-flowing energy and beauty?
Another simple way to remember this advice is shared quite
well in the fortune cookie I ate earlier today, “Emotion is energy in motion.”
Become a master of your thoughts!
