We think up to 60,000 thoughts per day. What percentage of the thoughts that cross
your mind are critical thoughts? Be honest!
Imagine just one day where all of your thoughts are like positive deposits to
an account. Thoughts like, ”This is easy, I feel great, It’s working.”
For most of us, we are making more withdrawals than deposits to ourselves. We
are more comfortable with thoughts of constant problems, fear, drama, conflict
and deprivation. There is always a pay-off. Maybe we do it because it is so familiar
and familiar feels safe. Hey, it gives us something to do! For most of us, we
don’t stop at criticizing and judging our situations and ourselves; we usually
judge those around us as well.
Let’s flush the toilet bowl of critical thinking. You are amazing and
those critical thoughts simply want you to forget that. You don’t need
to do one thing today to be great. You just are.
So maybe in October, you will choose to harvest some of those critical thoughts
from the field of thought in which they have been growing. Plant some new seeds
in that field to remind yourself that no matter how life is showing up around
you, you are simply delightful!
