Are You Winning the Mind War?
Sixty thousand thoughts are bouncing around in your mind every day, so says several sources on the internet. Of those 60,000 thoughts, how many of them are constructive thoughts and how many are destructive ones?
Whatever we are consumed with, whatever we constantly think about, has an uncanny way of materializing in our lives. So are we getting the results we want in life – whatsoever ye sow, so shall ye reap?
- Are you consumed with lazy thoughts, which prevent you from getting up earlier in the morning to work on achieving your goals?
- Are you consumed with angry thoughts so you are constantly overreacting and going over the deep end?
- Are you so consumed with acquiring money that you forget to make time for your family and friends?
- Are you so consumed with thoughts of always being in control that you lose control?
- Are you so consumed with fear that you fail to act or act quickly?
Destructive thoughts take us out of the game, whichever one we are playing. Are you winning the mind war? When was the last time you monitored your thoughts? Are you accomplishing the things that really matter to you? Are you making the kind of difference that you’d like to make in life? If you died today, would your eulogy please you?
Hale Dwoskin developed a simple method to let go called The Sedona Method. Say for instance you are constantly crippled by fear and always think of the most negative outcome for your life, here is the process. You ask yourself the following three questions.
- Could I let go of fear?
- Would I let go fear?
- When?
Dwoskin has also produced a documentary, The Letting Go Movie, which demonstrates the technique for letting go.
