Spiritual Thinkings
When you're able to have positive thoughts regardless what is going on – when you are able to see the higher power in all individuals and in all situations – you are well on your way to spiritual health.
Notions
A lot of times we spend hours and hours dwelling and ruminating on the damaging and fearful things in our lives. Rather, our focus and attention needs to be on the favorable, the good, and on thoughts that willmove us in the right direction. Read one of these statements to yourself each day -- and dwell on it. If you pay attention to the dark, you'll never find the light. If you study and relive your past experiences, dissecting them, and "getting in touch with your feelings" you'll only reinforce those feelings. If you want to get away from an issue, you shouldn't focus on it. Center on the good, the positive, the beautiful, the nice. A happy individual is totally caught up in the moment --and isn't thinking about the past or the future.
Too much thinking and dissecting just makes any issue worse. Today is a fantastic day – live it in the here and now. Why do little youngsters think ghosts, goblins, and monsters are real? As grownups, we know they aren’t. Your thoughts aren’t "real" in either the sense that you ―produce‖ and reinforce them -- and the emotions that go along with them. Your thoughts are only what you decide to trust in and continually reinforce in your brain. For instance, you're sitting alone in the dark in your home. You're down, depressed and thinking damaging thoughts. All of a sudden the phone rings and it’s an acquaintance you haven’t talked to in 6 years. You become alert, your mood picks up, and you've a nice conversation. Then, after you’ve hung up, you get depressed again and fall back into a blue mood. How come? Hint: Even though we don’t feel it – we have more might over our thoughts than we believe. We may decide to stay "up" after the phone call by doing everything we can to keep from dropping off back into the quicksand of contemplation and despair.
If your thoughts start to change, you'll feel better.
