Did you ever notice that your mind works backwards? It actually does what you tell it not to. Almost like a little child, your mind will do opposite of what you ask it to do, like a defiant child. Try this now, give your mind the instruction, “don’t think of the color blue”, what happenes? You mind, will purposely and defiantly, think of the color blue. Actually the best way to get your mind to think of blue, is to tell it not to think of the color blue. This is a big reason for much, if not all, of your distress and anxiety. When you tell your mind to not be stressed or anxious, what do you think it does? Yes my friend, it will make you think of thoughts that will make you stressed and anxious. Then what is the solution? The answer is; tell your mind what you DO want it to do, and not what you DON’T want it to do! How “DO” you want to feel? Apply this skill and you will see a measurable improvement in your stress and anxiety! I can’t wait to hear feedback about how this skill worked for you. I will continue to post useful information daily, please like/comment so it gets exposure.
