Thoughts

Consider that thoughts are more than just a biological process – your thoughts and ideas have energy. The intricacy of the brain and the complexity of thoughts and ideas can be shown as you read these words. From a biological and practical perspective, the photons of light associated with the patterns of these letters are focused onto the retina of your eye. Within a couple of hundred milliseconds, the signal has spread to the many interconnected areas of your brain, and you have perceived these words.

Attempt to capture any unhealthy thoughts before they become expressed out into the world. Pause, then simply ask yourself, do you wish to be in this manner? Stopping briefly will assist you to break the cycle of your conditional responses, enabling you to change your thoughts to those which you will not, later on, be sorry for.

The key to understanding negativity is how you respond to life and living. You can choose to react to unfavourable thoughts and become associated with the emotional repercussions. Alternatively, you can stop briefly, keep your balance, and choose not to react. In result, you are remaining neutral to the unfavourable or negative aspects.

Very few of us comprehend, how much we become entirely involved with our strong ideas and psychological reactions in our lives. Being so involved, we never have the opportunity to consider that it is our mind, which creates a very large percentage of the illness, distress, fear and even depression.

How often have you wished to find that moment calm for yourself?  Make Twenty20 the year of Calmness.  In a busy and seemingly chaotic world, we all need to carve out some time for ourselves, if only for a few fleeting seconds each day.

Learn how to achieve a simple calmness, the ability to observe your thoughts, and how to pause your thinking to control your reactions. You can attain the fundamental qualities of good health, wellbeing and happiness in your life.

Many of us are familiar with the concepts of positive thinking. You may have read or even understand how the use of mantras and other means can give us all the opportunity to bring forward aspects within our lives.

But, have you really taken the time to consider the power of your own thoughts. If you knew how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative or detrimental thought again. Take the time to contemplate the power of your thoughts and how powerfully they affect your life.

In an increasingly connected world, we are all affected by our presence of social media.  On social media, you are open to the thoughts, emotions and feelings of others who may follow you, like your posts, make comments or otherwise engage with your digital persona. It is increasingly easy to be influenced and affected by others through an increasingly complex web of interactions which happen almost instantly across the globe.

What you share online is your choice and your responsibility. Once you have posted it online, it is out there, forever. You may be able to limit who sees your updates, pictures, comments and the like, but it is still worth giving some thought to how posts can affect your life, that of your family or others.

Realise that these aspects flow in multiple directions, what you post affects or influence others as what you see affects or influences you.  Over time, what is posted by you and about you build up this false illusion of you, as this digital entity. Over time this digital entity can grow of form its own illusion, which in some cases can become larger or more overwhelming than the originator.  Always strive to be kind and considerate to others, never posting anything online which you would be unwilling to say directly to the person themselves.

Stop and take the time to realise the complexities of your mind, so that you may comprehend how to change your way of thinking. Take the time to consider that your mental mind, with its patterns of thinking and passive intellect, can be your biggest challenge in life.  Your mind can bring forward thoughts, reactions, feelings and emotions from your experiences.

How many times in your life have you been motivated or enthusiastic as you aspire to achieve or change aspects in your life, such as: a healthy lifestyle, travel, study, starting a new business, saving more money, or changing aspects of yourself regarding the home, work or family relationships? Yet in a short time, you find yourself falling back into your old patterns of behaviour and thinking. Without realising it, you have let the pre-programmed aspects or passive intellect of your mind take control of your life, setting you up to fall back to previous patterns of behaviour or failures of your best-laid plans.

Take control of your life by gaining an understanding of your mind and your reactions. Through being able to bring calmness and balance within you, it is then possible to resonate to a different frequency to make decisions and evaluate situations more clearly.

When you speak ill of others, consider that it hurts you more than it hurts them. This is because your unkind thoughts are the loudest within you. All of your thoughts arise within your mind. Some may flow out into the world in the words you speak or use. These thoughts are at their highest intensity within you.

No matter what situation you are in or how hurt you are, you do not need to have the last word or symbolically win the argument. If you are angry, annoyed or otherwise emotional, you may find that your last words can often obliterate good intentions or even the good memories.

Try to catch any unkind thoughts before they become expressed out into the world; pause, then ask yourself do you really want to be this way. Pausing will help to break the cycle of your conditional reactions, allowing you to change your thoughts to those which you will not later regret.

How many times have you heard the expression “You become what you think” or “Your life is an expression of your mind”? Consider for a moment that your thoughts have causality which is intertwined in our life and living. For every thought or action, there is a reaction or effect, which is very similar to the observations made by Newton when he penned his third law of motion.

Your thoughts and reactions in life can lead to a build-up of emotional energies within you. These energies can have damaging effects on your body, often leading to ill health. Take control; learn to change your thinking and reactions in life to improve your health and wellbeing.

If you pause for a moment to listen to your thoughts, you are likely to find that most of the thoughts you have do not register within your consciousness. However, you may observe that you are reacting to these thoughts without you realising it. Take the opportunity to listen to your thoughts as they enter the mind, like an outside observer. Then strive to catch hold of any negative or damaging thoughts before they take hold within your consciousness. Then push such thoughts out of your consciousness, indicating that you do not want them to be part of your life.

In order to master your thoughts, you have to learn to listen to your own thoughts. Skills acquired through Life Force mindfulness, meditation and cognitive practices can all help you to listen to your own thoughts as the impartial arbiter.

These energies affect each of us in varying ways. Take the opportunity to learn how your thoughts manifest to create your own reality.

People often wonder: What is the basis of emotions which seem to rule many people’s lives? At the most basic level, emotions are lower level responses occurring within areas of the brain and mental form, in response to stimuli and thoughts. Emotions themselves are often short-lived, but lead to longer-term mental associations. Over time, your emotional responses are subjectively blended with personal experience, beliefs and memories to create your feelings.

Take the opportunity observe your thoughts and emotional reactions in life, so that you can choose how to respond, rather than just reacting with passive intellect.
