As the mind wanders....

4/6/2016

Yesterday while washing the dishes...my mind wandered off (it has a tendency to do that) and some worry set in. My thoughts went to what is going on in my life right now and to what is happening to those I love...and my thoughts and I? well we had a little dance. I noticed I was thinking of the things I couldn't change and I couldn't control. Has this ever happened to you? Do you dance with your thoughts too sometimes? Who leads? You or your thoughts? 

When I realized who was leading, I stopped (it wasn't me leading it was my thoughts)...and a thought came crashing through my mind...instead of spending time worrying...use your time finding solutions. If you can't change what's happening...you can change how you respond to it.

When your thoughts go wandering...what do they sound like? 
Are you worrying for things for you can't change or control? 
When your thoughts go wandering...what do you do about it? ​
Personal questions I know but please do give them some thought okay? 

There will be things we can't change or control in our lives. There will be things that will happen to us... and all we can do is manage it the best way we can. We can't control what may come into our lives but we can control ourselves. We do have some control.

If something is going on in your life now...what are you doing about it? What are your thoughts like? Are you beating yourself up for something you can't change? Are you hiding because of what happened? What are you doing for you?

Beating yourself up won't change anything and it won't help you either...but lovingly supporting yourself will. Worrying for things you can't change or control...leaves you a victim...and you're not! but you can tell yourself you will handle it the best way you can. You can tell yourself you're strong enough. 

When your thoughts and mind wanders the next time...give some thought to these questions and give some thought too to what you can do for you to help you through it. There are things we won't be able to change nor control in our lives BUT we do have the control over how we respond and even react to it. We can change things for us moving forward and it's ourselves! 

If you're dancing with your thoughts...worrying for things you can't control...what you can do for you? What can you do to change how you respond to life and all it's happenings? We can't change and control life...but we can do it for ourselves moving forward. 

take good care of you okay?
