The Power Our Thoughts
In today’s society, with negative news
coverage, commercials that evoke fear, and all the things happening in society,
it’s easy for negative thought patterns to take root. Many people who think
negatively are wonderful people who value relationships and care deeply for the
people in their lives. However, they often, without realizing it, push away the
very people that they are concerned about or seeking support and encouragement
from, because they can become preoccupied, fearful, miserable, negative and hard
to be around. This is not a switch in the brain that can be easily turned off,
but rather, a pattern from which it requires dedication and work to recover. Here
are two ways to stop over-thinking, chronic worrying and find peace in the
present moment:
1. Breathe more. Breathing will relax you,
calm you, connect you to the present moment, and help you feel grounded. It
sounds so simple but often when our mind starts to race to bad places, we
become hysterical and anxious when what we need to do is relax the body and
mind. One way to breathe more is use meditation apps which are readily
available on smart phones and tablets. Daily listening can help ease anxiety,
fear, worry and doubt.
2. Surrender
to God. Surrender does not mean giving up; it just means you are willing to go
with the flow. Surrender is a form of release and a form of peace, because it
means you are willing to trust that everything will work out as it is supposed
to.
We must be aware of our thoughts because our thoughts have power and
create outcomes we may not want, more than we realize.
