Enough with the Unproductive Thoughts Already!
Filed Under Law of Attraction |
Don’t you think it’s amazing how much we all spend in self-analysis (and other-analysis)? As if finding out the “why” is going to somehow fix the issue. It won’t!
It is also amazing how much we worry about the future, making up scenarios that may or may not happen, and then ruin a perfectly good present moment with them. If we are on auto-pilot that badly, how seriously should be take our own thoughts? Not very.
The problem lies not with the fact that you have recurring unproductive thoughts. The problem is that you take them seriously.
If you’ve been sabotaging yourself with thoughts that won’t lead you anywhere but down, the solution is not to fix or stop the unproductive thoughts; the solution is to find new equally true thoughts as quickly as possible. Eventually, they will drown out the old ones. If habits of thought are that fickle, how seriously should you take them? After all, they are just well-practiced habits—not the truth.
It is time for you to stop fixing the pot holes on the road to “ick” and start building a new road that leads somewhere more productive. Catch yourself worrying today, and know that you are simply projecting a possible outcome that is not even true, worrying about it NOW as if it is.
What about all the other fictional outcomes that are wonderful; how come you didn’t choose to give attention to them? They are just as real, right? There’s no time like the present!
