Thinking Thoughtfully

Unpleasant Thoughts are like burning coal. You can choose to 1. Either get burnt and wounded by holding  on to it...

2. Either fight and argue with it ...

3. Or drop it as soon as they are created...

How will you drop and discard it ...in other words flip it..
Here's how...

When the unpleasant thought and the emotion attached to it comes up, be aware that the unpleasantaries are surfacing...Then,

1. Divert your mind to some pleasant events that occurred in your life ...This will fill you up with love and joy...

2. You can also chant a mantra. Chanting calms the mind and brings in inner peace...

3.  Take a deep breath and focus on your breathing. Inhaling very slowly through the nose and exhaling slowly through the mouth...This will calm you down and help focus to come back in the moment...

Do not forcefully try and stop the negative thoughts..

Each time a negative thought comes up, be aware,  take a deep breath come back to the moment  or chant.

Such repeated acts will help condition the mind and over a period of time their frequency will decrease.

Love and light,
Abundant blessings 🙌
