Personal Development for Life - When your mind wanders to the dark side September 24, 2017 |
When your mind wanders to the dark side![]() I stayed in bed for awhile, took a couple of panadol & lied there... My mind began to wander to the dark side... Urgh, argh, thoughts of; I have to do this, I must get that finished, darn it the water heater still needs fixing, I'm tired, I feel horrible... Just for a few moments I was drawn into my old mindset of misery & overwhelm but I quickly remembered & drew on what I know so well now (& have shared many times before) my quote "when you know what I know you can't wallow". The next thought that quickly came to mind was another of my quotes 'joy is a choice, each morning you wake up, you choose' followed by a conscious choice of focusing on gratitude. Gratitude saves you every time. - Grateful that I had access to medication to ease the pain - Grateful for my cozy bed & Sunday mornings - Grateful that my family was well (I could hear them making breakfast) - Grateful for my home - Grateful for my amazing Facebook group, for every beautiful member & all the inspiration, comments & posts that awaited me) - Grateful for the new day ahead & all I could do - Even grateful for the loads of washing that was waiting for me (as I have clothes to wear & a very easy way to wash them) If you find yourself feeling blue & your mind wandering to the dark side, full of doubt, negativity, overwhelm, stop... Take a deep breathe & shift your thoughts & focus to all your gratitudes & you'll feel your energy & mind shift to a beautiful, peaceful, happy space. You cannot feel miserable & grateful at the same time. From this beautiful space & mindset you can move forward to create, do, think & feel in a much more positive, productive way. There's a wonderful saying (another of my quotes I've shared many times) "You feel what you focus on" When your focused on gratitude all it's beautiful relatives show up too; joy, kindness, inspiration, thoughtfulness & love. Today I am extra grateful for the power of our minds, our ability & choices to choose better, choose joy, choose love, choose gratitude & for the incredible feelings & state of being that naturally comes with it. Everyday we make choices, we are free to choice how we feel, what we think & what we focus on. We can choose to suffer, to stay stuck going over the same miserable, unproductive thoughts & experiences or we can choose to see the gifts, the light, the lessons & the beauty & possibilities that surround us. Choose well, for your highest good & the highest good of others & not only will you experience a glorious day but life will take on a whole new meaning.
