This is the era of possessing skills. A variety of skills. People have been indulging in acquiring a different kind of skills – interpersonal skills, communication skills, dressing skills, make-up skills, writing skills, critical thinking, decision making and many more conceptual and professional skills.
But do you know what is the greatest skill of all the time that can make you create your dream world? That’s to learn to examine your mind and thus to understand your thought pattern.
Learn To master your emotions.
The greatest skill of all the time we all must master is the ability to examine our mind. Becoming aware of our thought patterns is as important as thinking positive. A lot of time thinking positive doesn’t work for us because there are deep-rooted thoughts that contradict the positive thoughts completely. When you become aware of that deep-rooted thought through examining your mind, you realize it is coming from your shadow self. It continuously suppressed and ignored to think in a certain way. Once you accept that shadow self of yours, you integrate it with your energy and you become more empowered. Positive thinking is not always the answer, observing your mind will help you to deal with the root cause of the problem.
Consider this, you are having a conversation with your friends, listening to their stories and instead of feeling connected during the conversation you start feeling anxious. You don’t know what but something in your mind making you anxious. However, You tried to re-engage in the conversation by ignoring the feeling. But you stayed anxious and kept having difficulty being involved. This is the time you decided to examine what’s happening in your mind. You took a closer look at your thoughts and you find that your mind is reflected on an earlier argument and realized that you made a critical mistake, and you then focused on developing a plan of how to apologize and make things right again. After doing this, you were able to engage again with your friend.
Now you understand that it was your shadow self that was making you aware of your mistake that you were trying to suppress. But once you accept your shadow self, it’s energy gets integrated with your own and you feel vibrating at a higher frequency.
How To Examine Your Mind?
We don’t notice the build-up of thoughts over time. We never learn who we are or even learned to love ourselves. And that everything can arise from and be controlled by the mind.
Examining your mind is the most difficult and at the same time is the most rewarding tool ever. But we don’t teach or train ourselves how to think and control our thoughts. Rather we wait for someone else, who is authorized, to give us an answer, take it to heart, burn it into our subconscious and act as though it is fact.
Don’t do this. Don’t wait for someone else to make you learn to do that. Do it for yourself.
The most effective way to examine your mind is to understand your emotional guidance system. Your emotional guidance system is the greatest cheerleader on your journey to being under the supervision of your mind. Not only do your feelings tell you when you’re on the frequency with your highest and greatest good, but they also tell you when you’ve drifted far away.
Become mindful of your emotions and feelings before your thoughts got a chance to run with negativity. You have to do it consistently as emotions have the power to go from simple nervousness to depression or anger. So, practice stopping whenever you feel your thoughts are going towards the emotional side before they gain momentum. Evaluate your thoughts, acknowledge them and come back to the present moment rather than enhance them with unnecessary thought based worry and fear.
“Thinking is only a small aspect of consciousness. Thought cannot exist without consciousness, but consciousness does not need thought” ― Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment.
It creates a good motion for allowing certain thought processes and auto-correcting the bad ones. And then magic happens.
Life corrects itself, things line up and suddenly you become “lucky” because you are vibrating at a higher frequency, projecting positive energy and attracting the same back.
I’ve thrown a lot at you. That’s how I use my mind. Tell me how you do?
Stay tuned.
