Thinking About Thoughts (A continuation)

Your thoughts are the answer to everything you experience.

How you respond in your thoughts to what life throws at you determines how well you feel.

This rule is true for all human beings.

In our minds, we make up rules, our beliefs, our expectations. And, if circumstances break those rules we get upset, we get angry, we get anxious, we let our feelings affect our well-being.

You have no control over what life throws at you. You can only control your response with your thoughts. Take a different view on what you think and your feelings will follow.

What is it you believe should happen? Is there a different approach to how you see your thoughts that will make you feel better?

Then take the steps toward your life goals, moment by moment, day by day. That is all we can expect of ourselves.

All those Experiences

Its not the experiences you went through that determine how you feel. It is how you think about them.

You can choose to spend all your life thinking about the experiences you had. Or you can focus your thoughts on what you are doing moment to moment, right now, to make a better life for yourself.

You can think about your thinking. That is the gift of consciousness. Random thoughts will bubble to the surface. You do not need to believe, or act on every thought.

Thoughts Bubble Up

How you choose to think and what you choose to do about random thoughts will determine how you feel. Thoughts create feelings. The way you think about your life experiences can change how you feel.

Your mind is a tool. Focus on what you are doing moment-to-moment.
Now is important. All other thoughts are not important to what you are doing.

Our brains are as unique as our fingerprints. Every human being has a different perception of reality.

Change begins at the individual level. It can only be personal. Each has to see what our power is to shape our world. The world we think in.

A person will not change unless they choose to change. You can not change another human being until they are prepared to change.

Whose Memories Are Right?

Every child in a family remembers things differently. Every human being has a different perspective.

Simply because you are in the middle of things as they happen does not mean that everyone will tell the same story as you tell yourself. Each person will have their own unique perception of what happened, how things unfolded, how things affected them, how they tell the story to themselves, how they explain to others.

Everyone’s perception of events are right from their perspective, because that is what they have experienced through thought and feeling.

You can tell others the story from your perspective, but you will never change their perception of reality.

"Accept the things I cannot change,the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." Breathe in deeply of life. Be grateful that you were allowed to experience life.

That is the premise as I see it of Three Principles Psychology explained by Sydney Banks.
