While dabbling in
thoughts about what today’s topic should be I came across an old thought. A
thought about someone I had not seen in what seems a life time. Now it is a
good thing I have not seen this person as I do not want too, but just what is
in a thought and how do we manifest odd from bad or indifferent?
I have never given much
thought to thought. It occurred to me there was a process for it but I never
minded to investigate the process, obviously it occurs in the brain of humans
and maybe some animals. But thoughts come in many shapes, sizes and also
emotion levels. The thought I had of the person earlier left me feeling
somewhat angry as this person had done something to injure me in the past. But
it also left me wondering if the old crow was now bald and wrinkled and gave me
a good snicker at the mental image I had formed, not a good one.
As a thoughtful person
I try my very hardest to have only good thought about people and for the most
part I do. It saddens me to think that there are such toxic people out there
that when thought of all the thinker wishes is to expel the thought and move
onto something more positive, but there are those people that stand in the way
and sometimes hijack our thoughts no matter what we do to remove the toxicity
the thought remain. It is a fight within ones soul to eliminate the thought
that hurt or is binding us mentally to an incident. I personally like to use
the red circle and stroke method and then I shrink into the tiniest of pieces
and flick it away.
My eldest daughter
seems to be the target of bullies at school and she struggles with the thoughts
they create and the hurt. We have given her a super power to deal with the
remaining hurtful backlash that occurs in her mind. We have talked about her
bringing forth her inner Velociraptor. I am not sure why she a lines with this
creature but she does and her use of this creature in changing her thought
pattern works. It is not in violent thought but thought of strengths and
agility and an ability to get away from what is hurting and distracting her
from her school work.
It seems to me that we
all have our own unique and individual thought patterns and use varied
techniques to get through our thoughts and keep them as positive as possible. But
is the power of thinking as strong as we have been lead to believe? I have no
proof, scientifically anyway about that being true or not, but I do believe
that if we think great things it can happen. What I mean is if we constantly look
for bad and negative that is all we will find being a pessimist. But if we look
to the bright and shiny side of life we could and just might find out that
there is a glory out there that belongs to us in a pocket. Something we can own
without too much struggle, something we are good at and the world notices,
something that is positive. Let’s look at the motivation to loose weight. It
takes a thought to get going with the process. It then takes more thought to
get to the gym and choose a trainer to help. Then beyond that, we are looking at
changing eating habits and relearning to live life without the junk and the
television so much and becoming healthy. Keeping those thoughts alive by
feeding them with more positive thinking. Yes I do believe that thoughts can
and do help us change our lives. The funny thing is though…we must recognize
there is a problem to begin with…
