Step # 3 - What are you thinking about?
What are your thoughts telling you?
This step identifies your thoughts and how they affect your emotions.
We have 50 000 to 80 000 thoughts a day mostly repeating and negative in nature. You become what you think about most. Henry Ford said it best, "If you think you can, or if you think you can't, you are correct.” Neuroscience states that your thoughts control your feelings influencing what comes into your life. Thoughts also affect your perception of life as you see it through your own internal filters.
The Facts about your thoughts:
• You will have thousands of thoughts a day.
• Thoughts have very little do with reality.
• Thoughts are repetitive and mostly
negative.
• You can count your thoughts, therefore
you are not your thoughts.
• You identify with your thoughts as if they
are real. Thoughts are not real.
• You are most likely addicted to thinking.
• Thoughts trigger emotion.
• Thoughts are generated from your beliefs
and habitual activity.
Thoughts are neurological brain activity that over time can become stronger and stronger. Worrying begets worrying and grows stronger. Worrying has nothing to do with reality. It's simply a negative thought about a situation that may or may not happen in the future.
One of the greatest powers a human has is the ability to sit in a thoughtless state. A thoughtless state is from where creation and infinite wisdom are accessible. When we are in thought our attention is in one area. Without thought there are infinite possibilities to solve problems and create a life you have dreamed of living.
