Imagine going to your kitchen to make a cup of tea. We can smell the tea, we can feel ourselves in the room. We can taste the tea as if we are drinking it?
What happens in the mind can be so real – but we need to learn how to talk to our own minds… Tame the mind.
We need to replace our thoughts like a mother would replace an unsafe toy for a baby. How does she do this easily? She replaces the toy with the child’s next favorite toy and we have to do that with our harmful thoughts.
Harmful thoughts are always hurting us because they are taking us down.
In the daytime, having negative or self-defeating thoughts creates our life and instead of having a good life we create a bad life.
Problem is, a high percentage of those thoughts can be sheer imagination. It’s in my mind but not in true reality. So I am imagining people don’t like me, or I imagine people are talking about me and I accept that as the truth – instead of discovering the truth. In the end… I am creating it.
I need to check in with what I’m thinking – EXACTLY what am I thinking ??? (unconsciously, without realising).
Then, I need to take responsibility for what I’m thinking.
Even if someone thinks bad of me – that’s their responsibility. But I should not let their thoughts and feelings affect me (and that’s my responsibility).
If someone is thinking badly, I can just give good wishes and have mercy for them. After all, they could be trapped in their own thinking and imagination as well.
