Don't Believe Everything You Think
Most of us rely heavily on our reasoning or thinking--Afterall, we're pretty darn smart! But sometimes we're just flat out wrong and it is in these times that we just don't do ourselves any favors---especially when our thinking includes the word never. And we convince ourselves that we will never do this thing or the other thing when we really don't know. We convince ourselves that our loved ones are tired of us and we have nothing to offer them--and we're wrong many times. We tell ourselves we are useless when in fact others are often inspired by us. We say, I just know i'll fail! But do we? All of a sudden we're not only master thinkers but we're fortune tellers too? What we are is discouraged, afraid, frustrated and overwhelmed but what we think can either help us find a glimmer of light or can entrench us deeper in despair.
We think our survivors don't care, or aren't trying hard enough, or are exerting control by rebelling when often that isn't true.
What we think carries strong consequences and sometimes we can't believe a word we think!
