My head is full of ideas. Most of which come at me all at once. Then I will latch on to one and run with it. Its like a relay race-lol! We all have this inherited mindset to search out issues or problems to solve to make sure that we are safe–thanks to the caveman part of our brain. So often the first thoughts we have are centered around that. What is wrong here? What needs to be fixed? Then the answers we come up with feed into the meaning that most closely matches the stories we created with our ego. When we have a spiritual consciousness we can begin to separate from our thinking and not get attached, but often it happens so quickly we don’t even realize it and we are off to the races. A simple tactic that I use to stop the race is to first thank my head for sharing its thoughts, after all it is making a contribution. And then ask, okay, if that is true what is the solution here? I get that there will be problems, that there is problems is not a problem unless I want to stay in the problem. But life is about how can I grow from this? How can I learn to love because of this situation? Those are where my solutions lie. My prayer for us today is that we be willing to look at the thought (the batton that is passed to us in the relay race of life) and say thank you, and God what solutions do you have? Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
Are you open to saying thank you to the thought and turning to God for a solution? Share in the comments.
