Worth a try?

Posted on by philipdodson

What do we tell ourselves internally? How do we speak to ourselves?

My guess…we speak badly to ourselves, we tell ourselves all kinds of stories based on the psychological fears that our mind creates.

Interestingly we do not say good things to ourselves, we don’t focus being kind to ourselves.

This is a choice that we make every day, without hesitation, in our unconscious mind-state, we are not even aware of these repeating patterns, and we are not aware of the damage it does to our mental and physical health.

We could, of course, choose to become more conscious and step away from the unkind narratives. Just think how things would change if we decided to be kind to ourselves. Worth a try?

Something that will never happen in a time that isn’t real

Nothing turns out like we imagine it will, by default, our mind and its ego conjure up the worst possible outcome…sometimes, almost quite unimaginable!

If life turned out as we imagine, firstly, what would the point be, as the uncertainty of life is what makes it special and secondly, life would be miserable, as we imagine the future to be challenging.

What if we decided not to waste our energy on predicting something we can’t predict as the future isn’t real beyond our mind? What if we decided to focus our energies on enjoy this moment now, the only time that we are actually alive? What if we stopped creating our own suffering worrying about something that will never happen in a time that isn’t real?

Perhaps, life would be more enjoyable, worth a try maybe?
