Today while I walked I reflected on some negative feelings I had this week. For me it was important to not bypass what I was thinking but dive into them. This year calls for deep diving not surfing when it comes to emotional intelligence.
The reason the thoughts were negative to me had everything to do with how it affected my attitude that day. For example I had these small burst of anxiety that led to me over thinking and then more over thinking. The thoughts were creating a false scenario but I fed into them like they were fresh baked chocolate chip cookies; except they had a terrible after taste that was super bitter.
Instead of wasting the next hour shuffling through the mess in my head, I sat down to deal with them. As I sat on the bench I heard a small voice of truth say to me, you allowed lies into your space of peace. Instantly I acknowledged the foolery from the day before. I decided to take action and reclaim my peace and time back. It felt so refreshing as I walked to my house.
What was my major takeaway? I thought the answer to the problem was to press through it, but that made things worst. The key to unlocking my reservoir of peace again and clarity had everything to do with processing through my thoughts not pressing through it.
I am happy to say my creativity, peace, joy, and press is flowing without any restrictions today.
What have you been thinking that needs your attention? Perhaps you should slow down long enough to identify what is happening with you.
