Are Your Thoughts Yours or Someone Else's?

That's not for you! Don't ask, you always get rejected. If these phrases or others that are equally negative have been popping up in your head lately, it may be time for an intervention.
​One, that will remove these negative thoughts from you mind or at least move them to the junk folder. ​
There is a reason that a majority of us have a negative soundtrack guiding us. It's probably not what you think!

The sound track tends to move us towards or away from that which we desire. How it does this is pretty fascinating and really worth spending the time to understand. Calling it a mechanism is accurate in that like a thermostat it is trying to maintain a comfort level. A thermostat is simply a sensor that attempts to maintain a preset level by reading information it receives about the current ambient room temperature.

So, let's imagine that the temperature starts moving dramatically up and down in your new home and you reset it dozens of times a day with little success. Then you call a specialist and they tell you the equipment is working fine its just being reset remotely by your neighbors.

My neighbors are controlling the temperature in my house you ask? Don't worry she says everyone in this HOA is linked to one or more neighbors it's in the agreement you signed.
I signed a contract to let others control the comfort level of my own house? This is nuts!

Yes it sounds crazy, right. What if I told you that your mind is currently doing the same thing. Instead of regulating your temperature it's your emotions that are being regulated by stories about you. Who you are and how you are supposed to behave. What others think of you and how you are supposed to think of about what they think of you. My God this is tedious!

As you can see this is quickly becoming as crazy as the neighbors in your HOA remotely changing the temperature in your home. The truth is you are being held to contracts mostly unconscious that started at a young age and grew from there. The linchpin that holds your negative soundtrack in place is your frustration, guilt and shame about being caught in it. I feel your pain! No one deserves to live this way! 

We are meant to experience absolutely unfiltered pure feelings in the moment. The cognitive process is simply a tool we utilize to express them. It is not designed to sort through old contracts to formulate what we can and cannot say or do.

The irony is that we take back control not by denying the old story but by accepting it for the falsehood it is. This begins the process of restoring our heart to its function putting love back into its role as the active principal that guides our lives. More on this to come.
