Mindfulness: Thoughts


How many of your thoughts today helped you get towards your goals in life? And how many of them hindered you? Are you in control of what you think? The answer to these questions is shocking for most of us.

Meditating for just 15 minutes at a time, four days a week can change your life in many ways, it did for me. By definition, it’s the art of developing mindfulness. It’s practiced by consciously directing and maintaining your attention on an unstimulating object, such as breathing and doing this for lengths of time.

Imagine yourself a web made up of thoughts. Every thread of this web a possible thought path, leading to different places. With Mindfulness, you start to identify thought patterns, see where they will lead, and choose to take another one. 
You will always continue to think and be moved to act by thoughts but meditation gives you a choice.
You really want to follow this next thought wherever it leads?

Next week Wednesday: Gratitude
