Its important to stay very aware of what thoughts you allow.
When you start to think a certain way, your thoughts will take off on you. You will form a story that you think is true… and you become so invested in your story that you can’t see what is actually happening.
You can’t find the silver lining, you can’t create change, and you can’t open yourself up to new ideas.
Your story becomes a self fulfilling prophecy because the more you tell the story the more you exacerbate the situation.
We attach ourselves to the emotion, which keeps driving the same thoughts, and ultimately, we limit ourselves.
You can’t see solutions when you are stuck in a story because you are shutting yourself off from inspiration and possibility, instead you are looking for evidence to prove your story and continually feel worse about the situation.
Become the observer of your life by taking a 50,000 foot view. Watch your thoughts. Pay attention to your story.
Notice how you feel.
If you are scared, overwhelmed, frustrated, or feeling the weight of the world, you are telling a story that limits you.
Things can change in an instant if you step away from the story and allow life to flow. But first you need to realize that its not the situation, but the story you are telling yourself about the situation that is the problem.
