We all have thousands of thoughts spinning around in our heads through out the day. We reflect and contemplate on the things we see and hear. We hear other peoples thoughts when they speak. We sometimes accept other people's thoughts as our own. Thoughts that pass from one brain to the next can set up societal beliefs and standards. So at what point does a thought become harmful?
When you audit your thoughts, and you challenge in particular, your negative thoughts with reason and logic. You may find that some of the thoughts that you're having are from outdated or incorrect thought models, or belief systems. You may have accepted a criticism in the past, perhaps when your faculties of reason were poorer. In many ways you're shaping your reality with your thoughts, so it is very important to question your thoughts, and their usefulness. Since you have the power to choose your thoughts, you can replace your negative thoughts with positive ones. Just acknowledging your negative thoughts, will start the process of transforming or eliminating them. What we think about, consciously and unconsciously, structures and implements our belief systems, which soon becomes apart of our character.
I challenge you to continuously question and audit your beliefs and your thoughts. Ask your self: Why did I think that? Is it good for me to think that? Why have I accepted that I'm __________ ?
