Ruler of your Moods

As you can be the ruler of your sphere of happiness, do not allow other people or events to make you sad or miserable. Be the ruler instead of a servant to your own states of mind. Do not permit your heart to be full of sadness, anguish or despair. It is for you to make up your mind to be happy or satisfied whatever the situation.

Registering your Thoughts

A lot of your thoughts do not register consciously, yet you are reacting to these thoughts. Make every effort to seize any kind of negative or unfavourable thoughts before they fully form within your mind. Drive such thoughts out of your consciousness so they do not become part of your life. As beneficial or valuable thoughts register, capitalise their value by bringing them to the fore.

Grab Harmful Thoughts

Every one of your thoughts arises within your mind. Some may flow out into the world in the words you use or speak. When you speak uncaringly, it can harm you even more than it hurts others since your unkind thoughts are the most intense inside you.

 

Make every effort to grab any kind of harmful thoughts in advance of them being communicated. Pause, at that instant, ask yourself do you seriously intend to be this way. Pausing briefly can help to smash the cycle of your conditional reactions, permitting you to transform your thoughts.

Observing Emotions

Emotions are the low-level responses occurring within areas of the brain and mental form, in response to stimuli and thoughts. Often short-lived, your emotions are subjectively blended with personal experience, beliefs and memories to create your feelings. Your memories and feelings provide the storehouse of pre-programmed reactions. Take the opportunity to observe your emotional reactions in life, so that you may choose to respond differently.

Destination Dependency

Be mindful of the destination dependency; where it becomes a fixation with the notion that happiness is elsewhere. That happiness can be magically found at your next destination, at your next job or even with a different companion. Until you surrender the concept that happiness is in another place, it is going to never be where you are.

Rise Above Darkness

Thoughts, emotions and feelings of a destructive or negative quality leach harmful aspects into every cell of your body. This brings about overloads and blockages which can cause illness and imbalance. Pause to transform your thinking, in order to rise above the darkness of such damaging thoughts or ideas. Then you may generate a newfound sense of wellbeing.

True Kindness

True Kindness is much greater than an expression or a word, it is manifest via your behaviours & actions on a daily basis. Kindness with compassion can aid in bringing back the balance in your life. Today and every day, be that individual of real kindness to sow happiness & joy into the world around you.

An Expression of your Mind

Your life is an expression of your mind as your thoughts and ideas have cause and effect. For each thought or action, there is a reaction or impact. This is very comparable to the observations made by Newton when he penned his third law of motion. Realise that your thoughts and reactions all have consequences, there is always an effect even if you are not aware of it. Begin to take control of your thinking and reactions in life so that you only build beneficial energies.

Win the Emotional Battle

Make every effort to let go of any unfavourable feelings and emotions so that they do not become a controlling factor in your life. Letting go of your emotions will enable you to become their observer, rather than being caught up in the ensuing battle. You can then control the outcome and your reactions, so that you attain victory over your emotions.

Whirlwind of Feelings

Many of us can become absorbed in our feelings and have restricted self-awareness as a result. You may have wondered how can meditation or similar practices assist in dealing with strong damaging emotions? The key is that many of these techniques provide a way to pause or moderate your thoughts and reactions. Then with your thoughts or reactions paused, you may choose to not be swept up in the whirlwind of damaging emotions and feelings.

Handling Strong Emotions

The instant that you feel a strong emotion building, pause so that you can regain control. This will help you to not fall into the pending assault of feelings, thoughts and sensations. Once you have briefly paused the reactionary processes of your mind, the most effective choice is not to get involved. In effect, you do not want that emotion or that emotional reaction to be a part of you. Using activities based on Life Force Cognition can help you to bring greater control to your mind, assisting you to handle strong emotions.

Do Not Let Feelings Be Victorious

Do not let feelings win, control & overwhelm your life. You need to make every effort to let go of any negative feelings so that they do not end up being a controlling aspect. Attempt to be an observer of feelings as they spill into your life, rather than being drowned in their torrent.

Do Not Let Emotions Win

Do not let emotions win to control you and ruin your life. You should strive to let go of any negative emotions so that they do not become a controlling factor in your life.

If at all possible any feelings of unhappiness should not be allowed to exist within you at any time. All situations you are going through in your life, in the workplace or home, wherever possible, should be observed and understood as being experiences for learning.

Try to be an observer of emotions as they spill into your life, rather than being drowned in the torrent of thoughts and feelings which arise as a result of “playing the game”.

Dealing with Strong Emotions

One of the most commonly asked questions is how can meditation or similar practices help deal with strong damaging emotions, such as anger, hatred, and jealousy.

The good news is, that if you are asking the question, you are already part of the way to the answer. The fact that you have asked the question indicates that you may have been sufficiently mindful and observant to notice the negative states of your mind.  Which, by the way, is not an easy accomplishment. Most people are entirely absorbed in their emotions and have limited self-awareness. Generally, those who ask this question have noticed what is happening in their minds as they were being swept into a whirlwind of negative emotions.

The best course of action is that you need to learn to become the master of your mind as well as your emotions. The moment that you feel a strong emotion building, first pause so that you can regain control and not fall into the pending onslaught of emotions, thoughts and feelings. Once you have paused the reactionary processes of your mind, the most effective choice is not to participate. In effect, you do not want that emotion or that emotional reaction to be a part of you. If you feel sufficiently in control, you may take the time to observe the emotion, but always push those emotional aspects away as you do not want them to become part of your life. Applying aspects of Life Force Cognition can help to bring greater control to your mind to help you deal with such situations.
