What's On Your Mind? Life or Death?

Change your thoughts and you change your world! I know you have probably heard that statement time and time again, but it's true. What we think about can have such a powerful impact on our attitudes, our health, the way we treat others, and the way we view the world.

Thoughts are like seeds, they can be planted or they can be plucked. You can say that your mind is the garden and your thoughts are the seeds planted in your garden. Positive thoughts will produce a beautiful garden and negative thoughts will produce weeds that will choke out your beautiful garden.

Since you are the gardener it is up to you to make sure your garden is well kept, nourished and weed free. What do you do when you see weeds popping up all over your beautiful garden? You pluck them up by the root, because we know nothing can grow without roots. So are our thoughts, they start out as seeds planted in our minds through past experiences, something we saw or heard and we nourish those seeds by meditating on them, constantly replaying the images over and over again in our minds.

So, if you have ever experienced something traumatic, it left an image on your mind and anything can trigger that image in your mind replaying the experience all over again, except now you're experiencing it in your mind, you begin to put all of your focus on that image bringing back hurtful feelings, emotions get out of whack and your whole attitude is messed up because a weed just popped up in your garden.

At this point you have a decision to make, you can either nurture that seed/weed or you can reject that weed. Did you know you can control the thoughts you think about? I will be showing in a future post how to get rid of the weeds in your garden, so stay posted!

Be Empowered. Be Motivated. Be Educated.
