The Power Of Our Thoughts

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.
