An Important Question.
When you start criticizing yourself for past mistakes or seeing disaster around every corner, ask yourself.
Is there anything I can do right now to change the past or to positively influence the future?
If the answer is yes, do it or No let it go.
- The Problem Is Rarely the Problem.
99% of the harm is caused in your heads, by you and your thoughts.
1% of the harm is caused by Reality, what happens, and the outcome.
Most of the time, The problem isn’t the problem. The way you think about the problem is.
- Avoid Self Rejection.
Don’t think you deserve that opportunity? Apply for it anyways.
Don’t think your article is good enough? Publish it anyways.
Don’t think they’ll reply to your email? Send it anyways.
Never overthink Yourself into Self Rejection.
- Silence and Time.
The truth is most problems aren’t solved with more thinking, they’re solved with less.
You’ll find most of the answers you’re looking for in silence, in time, and with a clear mind.
If you can’t solve a problem, stop trying to.
- The power of Now.
You’re not going to overthink your way to a better future
You’re not going to overthink your way to a better past
All you have is NOW
And what you do with NOW can make right of your past and make good of your future
Past has no power over our Present.
- Fact – check your thoughts.
Your thoughts will create scenarios in your mind that reflect your insecurities, fears, and worries.
So it’s important to always fact-check your thoughts before accepting them.
Your negative thoughts will let you stories that aren’t true.
- Acceptance is Peace.
No amount of anxiety will change your future, and no amount of regret will change your past.
Peace is found in Acceptance
Accept imperfection
Accept uncertainty
Accept the uncomfortable
You don’t have to understand or tolerate
Just accept the Reality.
- Health starts in your mind.
You can go to the gym, eat healthy, pray, and drink water but if you don’t directly confront the negativity in your thoughts, you will never truly be healthy.
True health is measured by the quality of our thoughts and peacefulness in our minds.
