Can you control your thoughts?

“If you can imagine it, you can have it…. Reality is not what your eyes show your mind, but what your mind creates for your eyes to see. You are not limited by logic, the past, or the world around you. You are not even of the world around you. You are supernatural, pure spirit. You came first. Magic, miracles, and luck are the consequences of understanding this, the inevitable result of dreaming and acting in spite of appearances.” - Mike Dooley, Notes from the Universe

It cannot be stressed too often that you are a product of your thoughts. Therefore your life and your reality depends on what you think. Most people are mentally lazy, therefore their thoughts are random and pure chance. They exhibit no control over their thoughts so their thoughts control them.

When people do not control their thoughts it is reflected in their lives. Their realities seem to be dictated by chance and are sometimes like a roller coaster, ups and downs. They are often devastated by the downs and do not recognize and appreciate the ups.

I am sure you know people who complain about anything and everything or always blame someone else for their problems. It they are close to you, as family or friend, it may be very difficult to not buy into their problems and let them bring you down.

It is important to maintain a distance from the complainers. It can be hard because there is a fine line between protecting yourself and appearing cold and uncaring. It can be as simple as saying, “I understand and I am sorry, but can we talk about some of the good things in your life.”

On the other hand, if you are able to control your thoughts you are able to have more control over your reality and your life. Things go smoother and you get better results. That is not to say that there will be no downs in your life, but those downs will not seem so incapacitating and insurmountably.

In the Ultimate Healthy Lifestyle we except the fact that you create your reality with your thoughts. It is within your power to create the reality you wish to have. This is done by controlling your thoughts.

Think only the thoughts you want to think. This may seem impossible, but with practice it becomes possible. Putting focused energy into meditation and changing your thoughts when you think of something that does not serve you is the key.

Control will not come in an instant but over time with dedication and perseverance it will become a part of your daily habits. How much are you dissatisfied with the life you are now living or how bad do you want to live the life you dream of?

TODAY’S TIP: Take a good look at where you are in life and decide if it is where you want to be or not. If not set your intention on getting to where you want to be.

Are you willing to put forth the effort?
