Some days it seems many of us are going through the motions but are not truly engaged in what we are doing. 

The rampant thoughts in our head seem to take over and we seemingly get lost chasing them until we are left feeling uneasy. Unsettled. 

In order to move away from this unwanted outcome we must first recognize the role we have played in welcoming it. Whether knowingly or not, we actually do have the ability to stop ourselves from being a part of such a viscous cycle.

Great athletes recognize that in order to be successful they must have a secure sense of awareness and control over the body. Mental endurance follows the same principle. 

As you become aware of your thought patterns, begin by asking yourself whether or not your thoughts are serving to you. If you find more often than not that your thoughts are more debilitating in nature, applaud yourself for this great insight. With recognition comes change!

From here on out, you can learn small, yet routine steps that you can do to take action and break free from negative thinking.

You have your whole life ahead of you and you’ll never have more time than now. 

Take this opportunity to begin shifting your thoughts to ones that will welcome peace, love and acceptance into your day. 

New thought. New belief. New life.

Pain. We understand the depth of this word on the intellectual level but more importantly on the emotional level. There is where it seems to becomes alive. It becomes real. We feel it and it stings. 

We have been pained. Whether it is because we believe we have been wronged or because we believe we have wronged. 

But what if we learned to take our power back? What if we didn’t allow the pain to win and rule all of our moments from here on out? I am not at all suggesting to avoid feeling by any means but what might happen if we learn to observe the pain without embellishing it further?

It seems we have learned to become great storytellers. We use strong words to describe experiences and neglect to understand how we are inadvertently hurting ourselves further. We take what IS and exaggerate it until it is no longer tolerable. By allowing this trickery of the Mind, we invent further suffering into our lives. The exact thing we are trying to run from. 

Peace finds me when I let go of the should of, could of, would of’s and remind myself that I have a choice in all of this. I may not like what is happening in the present time, but I no longer need to paint the canvas black. I can choose from the multitude of colors just at my fingertip and learn to live once more.
