Use This to Take Control of Your Thoughts l MotivationArk

[Music] what has happened through the gradual evolution of thinking is that now humans tend to overthink there is a lot of not only unnecessary thinking that generates unnecessary and in many cases non-existent problems such as when you lie awake at night in bed and start worrying it generates a lot of unnecessary un happiness so people don't realize that a significant part of the unhappiness in their lives is actually generated by unnecessary negative often destructive mind activity and they don't even know [Music] it mindfulness is first of all discovering the simple fact that there is a voice in your head that continuously comments on your life or on what's happening around you it's the selft talk selft talk is in that you talk to yourself sometimes you talk to yourself in the first person I some people talk to themselves in the second person you so you can get annoyed with yourself you shouldn't have done that and then you have another thought and says yes but I couldn't help it and you might even get a third voice coming and whatever it says to this why can't I get out of myelf talk that let self talk to but it's an amazing the first thing what I call the first Awakening Spiritual Awakening is something very basic and something very simple it's the discovery that there is a voice in your head that always talks talks to you mostly silently if it talks out loud then you're continuously and there's nobody around then you are considered insane but and that's only if it's loud but most people have that inside their heads and they are not considered insane it's considered normal but there's not such a big difference between the two and sometimes when you'd listen to the m man walking in the street muttering and he say oh he's really insane but it might be that you are doing the same but it's just not out aloud it's in your head why didn't I should have said that why didn't I say that next time he does it I'm exactly know what I'm going to reply and it goes on and on all you lie awake at night and start worrying you wake up and oh my God what's going to happen what if that doesn't work and then that goes wrong and what if he does that in and then he go into it you can draw one thought leads to another thought and another thought oh my God and then the body the body cannot distinguish between an actual reality an event that's happening in the real life and what your mind is saying so when you have fearful thoughts the body reacts to every fearful thought and that's an emotion the body reacts with an emotion the emotion you feel in your body the body cannot distinguish between an actual event and a thought so when you think fearful thoughts the emotions you feel are the emotions that are saying I am in danger there is an actual danger here so you feel the emotion of fear anxiety you might you feel agitated it's not only not pleasant if you indulge in that kind of useless dysfunctional destructive thinking year after year after year it has its effect on the body and it decreases the ability of the body to energy to fight disease even mainstream medicine is discovering the connection between your state of mind and your state of health and so gradually we are seeing in the past they denied it completely they only looked at your body and they not didn't just look at the totality of the body even within the body they just looked at one particular symptom what's wrong with that particular organ and you of course in mainstream medicine you have Specialists specialist for the liver and specialist for this and this and that not only not taking into account the totality of the body but more importantly not taking into account the totality of the person which includes physical body and the mind so it's vitally important to discover first of all that there is a voice in your head that indulges in selft most of the time and for many people interestingly enough that selft talk is not always negative but for many people it is more negative than positive a good event that happened yesterday and nice you might have gone to a nice reunion or you went out into nature and you witnessed a beautiful sunset okay you can remember it today and think that was a beautiful sunset or we nice talk yesterday but you can't do that much thinking about a nice event but the mind when there's something negative that happens yesterday somebody offended you or didn't give you the attention that you needed that you wanted from him then you can start thinking of how oh my God what he did he's really next time he does that I'm going to say that or he's really show why doesn't he you can go on for a long time dwelling on something negative much longer than dwelling on something positive it is so seemingly a negative event is much more food for useless mind activity than a positive event and this is why for many people a significant percentage of their mind activity is negative for some people it is almost 100% negative but it is unlikely that these people would get a job in this company because the predominant State of Consciousness your predominant mental emotional state there's a certain correlation between who you associate with where you find yourself and even what kind of things happen to you there is a correlation which is not always immediately recognizable but there is a correlation between once a person's predominant mental emotional state and who they are with who their friends are what where they work and even what happens to them so if you are in a very negative State a long time you tend to attract also negative events but you can only have to find that out for yourself to discover that there is continuous mind activity and for some people it's the discovery that a significant part of their mind activity is negative but the vital thing is to discover that there is this continuous talk in my head is considered the normal human State and of course you cannot abolish thinking of course there will be thinking but the question is is there an awareness behind the thinking if you can become aware that you are indulging or called up in that useless mind activity and you suddenly become aware of perhaps certain repetitive thoughts that tend to reoccur in your mind again and again you might see it in others too even more easily in others when you go for your Thanksgiving dinner I I think is it next to week you will meet your family members or relatives and in some of you may realize you already know what they are going to say this year because it's the same thing they said last year and 5 years and 10 years ago and if they have negative judgments about you or somebody else then it's the same thing you will hear again next week when you go to them so it's easier to see how others are caught up in repetitive thought form forms not as easy to see it in oneself this is why there's a saying that self- knowledge is the most difficult knowledge it's easier to see others but if you can discover even in the midst perha
