Who are You Really Talking to All Day Long and Why? The Art of Mindfulness, Part IV
This is Part IV of a four part blog. See my blog post of 04/30/07 for Part I.
So, from my point of view, we are literally meant to “whistle a happy tune” and that happy tune then creates our reality. We can, if we wish, let go of the past and focus instead on the present. We can look for the good in situations and for the beauty in the present moment and let of go of old negative fixations. We can trust that the future is a peaceful, positive place that we are heading towards rather than a fearful void of unknown disasters.
We get to choose all of this! We really do!
So, be very mindful about who and what you invite into your internal dialogues. It has a profound impact on your life. When you invite anger, you experience anger; when you invite fear, you experience fear; when you invite worry, you experience worry. On the other hand, when you invite joy, you experience joy; when you invite peace, you experience peace; when you invite love, you experience love.
The kind of thoughts you choose are no different from the kind of friends you choose in your life. Who you hang out with, determines who you bring home with you. And who you bring home with you, determines the quality of your life.
So, choose your thoughts consciously and wisely. Choose who you speak with internally very carefully. Ask yourself why you are having these thoughts. This is so important because if you chose poor thoughts, you create poverty and live down in the dumps; but if you choose lofty thoughts, you create a life of freedom, joy and love and live a regal life.
So, choose very carefully who you are talking to throughout your day; your life depends on it.
In my next series of blog posts, I will offer suggestions about what I believe is the best kind of internal dialogue to have.
Rather than talking to all these disparate voices, instead why not talk to God/Goddess, your Higher Self or your Guides on a consistent basis? You’d be amazed at how different your life will become and how much more in touch with who you really are you will become when you do this. As well, you will discover a very profound place of peace, love and contentment.
