Being aware of your thoughts
Few people enjoy the company of individuals whose attitudes are persistently negative. Yet many of us tolerate the critical chatter that originates in our own minds. Since we are so used to the stream of self-limiting, critical consciousness that winds its way through our thoughts, we are often unaware of the impact these musings have on our lives. It is only when we become aware of the power of such thoughts that we can divest ourselves of them and fill the emptiness they leave with loving, peaceful objective affirmations.
Many people, upon paying careful attention to their thought patterns, are surprised at the negativity they find there. But when we take notice of involuntary thoughts in a nonjudgmental way, we initiate a healing process that will eventually allow us to replace intimidating and upsetting self-talk with positive, empowering thoughts.
While the occasional downbeat or judgmental thought may have little impact on our contentment, the ongoing negativity that passes unnoticed can have a dampening effect on our mood and our outlook. When we are aware of the tone of our thoughts, however, we can challenge them.
But how??
Try to be conscious of your feelings, opinions, and judgments for a single day. From sunup to sundown, scrutinize the messages you are feeding into your subconscious mind. Consider your thoughts from the perspective of a detached observer and try not to judge yourself based on the notions that come unbidden into your mind. Simply watch the flow of your consciousness and make a note of the number of times you find yourself focusing on gloomy notions or indulging in self-directed criticism.
As you become increasingly aware of your patterns of thought, whether positive and negative, you will gradually learn to control the character of your stream of consciousness. Always endeavor to remember that the images and ideas that pass through your mind are transient and not a true representation of who you are.
In training yourself to be cognizant of your thoughts, you gain the ability to actively modulate your mood. The awareness you cultivate within yourself will eventually enable you to create a foundation of positivity from which you can build a more authentic existence.
Bring More Positivity and Inner Peace Into Your Life
“I’m such a failure.”
“I’m not good enough.”
“I can’t believe I said that. I’m such an idiot.”
Negative self-talk is a daily norm for many of us — and often, we don’t even realize we’re doing it.
When you believe that something is wrong with you, that no matter how hard you try, you’ll never be good enough, you unconsciously make choices that lead to self-sabotage — in relation to how you care for your body, your ability to succeed and love, and most of all, your capacity to feel worthy of the life you deserve.
