Have you ever had a day where everything was perfect? Had a day where your brain was just bubbling up with new ideas? A day where the sky was the limit? And then a well meaning friend asked you about an unresolved issue. In answering them you mentioned all the reasons why it cant be resolved and how the other person in that issue will never agree with your point of view. And then you start justifying why you are right.
Well about 5 minutes later. I was like, WTF just happened? I was so excited I was ready to start a new business, reach out to meet some new doctors and business people to work with. The sky was the limit. When are these shitty feelings and thoughts going to go away? How often does this actually happen?
Thank god I am actually present to what just happened. I think those of us with a brain that has enough wiring to not stick our hand in fire, probably have billions or trillions of connections that connect thought to other thoughts and feelings. So this would be inevitable for all of us.
You dont have to be a Harvard neuroscientist to recognize this. You just have to have enough connected brain cells to recognize dont stick your hand in fire. Dont cross in front of a car going 60 miles and hour less than 100 feet away. i guess things are connected in my brain. How did I know how fast the car was going, how fast it would get here, how fast I can run. What would be the consequences of crossing now. There is a plethora of information that is inextricabley woven to make complex calculations to save your life. You cant even argue that. Hmm what else has your brain stored? Maybe dont go out with guys who wear jeans? Dont go out with girls that are too self confident. Dont ever be too nice to anyone.
What kind of misinformation associated with pain is being stored with legitimate information? No matter what, you need to start recognizing happy thoughts and unhappy thoughts.
Choose wisely it will not only affect your mood. It will affect your productivity your relationship with others the quality of your days and ultimately the quality of your life.
This is what life is. Life is either a happy fun ride or a trek through shit. It doesnt matter if you are living in a prison or a prison of your mind on the 50th floor of a 100 million dollar condo on the beach, where you just arrived by private jet. We also know of suicides of people in that category. So there is no denying that if you dont have control of your mind, all the riches in the world cant make you happy.
You make the choice about what to think and you make the choice if you are going to be happy or sad. Its no different then what to wear for the day. Get that through your thick head. It is true. You need a method to do clutter clearing of your brain. Ha! another post., Clutter clear out the shit thoughts.
