Take Control of
Your Thoughts
Think about the world we
live in today. Think about how much negative news floods the television. Think
about the trivial and often times, petty banter that we can get mixed up on in
social media. What do you think that does to your mind, or even your soul over
time?
If you don’t watch what
you let into your mind – negative thoughts from yourself or from others – then
you are allowing weeds to grow and to spread. Life just starts to happens to
you. No matter how smart you are, how savvy you are, how inspired you are – if
you don’t stand guard at the door of your mind, then you are giving the tacit
approval of the disempowering, disenchanting and disillusioning.
So what’s the best way to feed your mind?
To proactively feed it. And that is a lot easier than you may think. Tell
yourself that this year, there isn’t going to be a single day where you don’t
do something that positively feeds your mind. Even if it’s as minuscule as
reading for 10 minutes a day. Even if it’s meditating for 10 minutes every
morning. Think that’s too much? Then what about listening to a podcast on your
commute. How much extra time does that take out of your day? Absolutely none!
The more that you make this a habit, the more
engrained it will become in the way you go throughout the day. Negative news on
the television will begin to signal you to change the channel. Pedantic
arguments on social media will inspire you to watch an inspiring YouTube clip.
The stress of a morning commute may even turn into your favorite part of the
day as you listen to an empowering and enlightening podcast.
Eventually, these small changes will add
up in one very big way. You will become more in control of your thoughts. You
will become more in command of your environment. And you will be more conscious
of the ways that you can elevate your life and find new opportunities for
improvement.

Everyday I do yoga in the morning. It makes me feel grounded and relaxed. It actually helps me prevent bad thoughts that may come to my mind now and then.
Meditação é a alma do negócio. Desde que comecei a implantar isso em minha vida, me tornei uma pessoa mais blindada. Essa enxurrada que vemos de desgraças na TV não me causa tanto impacto, até porque diminuí bastante a frequência com o qual a vejo.
Pode parecer fácil, mas nem sempre é. Ter controle dos nossos pensamentos nem sempre é algo simples quando sua mente na está sã. Daí decorre a depressão, doença (sim, doença) cada vez mais frequente, inclusive em jovens.
As pessoas que recorrem à meditação e à mentalização de coisas boas tendem a absorver menos as notícias ruins, negativas. Você passa a trabalhar sua mente para que, de certa forma, bloqueie esse tipo de entrada.
Tenho muita dificuldade com isso, pois como terapeuta, não consigo separar os problemas dos meus pacientes com minha vida pessoal. Isso me deixa pra baixo. É uma luta diária contra estes pensamentos que não saem da minha cabeça. Difícil se desvencilhar.
Stressed? Have a massage, do yoga, practice meditation or anything that could bring you up. You only get sad if you are open to it. It’s the mindset that matters. No bad vibes ;)
