Thought for the Day

We all occasionally find ourselves in a situation this is not of our choosing. When this happens, there a few things I could do. I can ask myself, why why why Lord am I in this traffic jam with my crazy cousin who will not shut up? Or, I can flip everyone around me the bird and bang the steering wheel.  Or, I can make the best of a terrible situation and try to have a meaningful conversation with the woman who won’t let me get in a word edgewise.

 

Or, I can try some higher thinking.

 

To review,

 

Thoughts

 

 


Perceptions

 

 


Behaviors

 

 


Experience

 

But what to do with my thoughts when I’m trapped in an undesirable situation? First, take responsibility for it.  Okay, I created this situation (you may not get how, but go with it for now).

 

Then, figure out what you want.  I want to be moving 55 miles an hour on the freeway with no incessant noise in my ears.  I desire one million dollars cash in my pocket. I picture my husband with dinner ready on the table when I get home.  You can outline your desires in any level of detail that you want.

 

Then let the detail go.

 

Boil down what you want to its essence: quiet, peace, movement, full belly.  Whatever the situation calls for.  And put your mind on those things. If you happen to be a little less fidgety than most, you might even meditate on the qualities that you want to create.

 

Feel what it feels like to have the qualities of mind that you desire.  It feels damn good.  Now you can just stop your search here because, really, that’s the essence of higher thinking. You just created a new reality for yourself in your mind that’s exactly where you want to be. If that is all that ever changed, it might even be enough.

 

But, it gets better.  (Come to one of our workshops and we’ll show you how.)

Boil down what you want to its essence and feel what its like to have that.
