There are thinkers, and there are undisciplined thinkers
thoughts will pop up in our mind, like rain drops during a storm, passing like clouds on an October evening in Ireland, this is a fact of life.
Now sometime thoughts are nice and comforting, sometimes they are filled with regrets, guilt, anger, hatred, sadness, melancholy, and these are not fun.
I could suggest to observe these passing thoughts, not to act on them, not to pursue them even, just to acknowledge them, and let them go.
By chance, I was introduced to the Work of Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie and Anthony Metivier they all have found a way to 'filter' the flow of constant mind chatter.
- Are these thoughts true? Am I absolutely sure that they are true?
- Are these thoughts about the possible future? then focus on the present moment
- Are these thoughts about the past? then focus on the present moment
- Are these thoughts useful? and how do they behave?
