How to Think
The mind. It all begins in your mind. All you perceive is right there. That is where you really are. If you only have your mind, the outcome is excellent because everything comes from there. Controlling your mind the only way to harness reality. Everything you ever dreamed of and more is waiting for you. Your mind is to be obedient to you. Not the other way around lest your mind destroy you forever. Be wary. This is not a game. Your soul is at stake. This is your goal. Where do you perceive happiness? Right where you think. If you are kind to yourself, you can be happy alone. If your mind is nice to you, you will not crave a drink to relax. All your peace and joy is perceived in one place. This where you can find bliss. The importance of the mind is Supreme. God is supreme. These two can be linked. If you give yourself to Jesus, he will help you think! You will figure things out things that seem impossible. Things that have to be done just so. There is an excellent plan for you. How to think is about recognizing the way your thoughts make you feel. Some thoughts bring you higher. Some thoughts bring you lower. Thoughts that bring you higher can be ones also that you feel comfortable with. Thoughts that elevate me are thoughts about the ones that have a healthy relationship with. Thoughts on improvements. Thoughts that are relaxing. That I am appreciated even if don’t see it. That I am doing the right thing because know with Jesus, I will figure out what’s best. Encouraging thoughts. “I will get through this.” “Jesus will heal me.” “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” “I am precious.” “I was made in the image of God.” “I am not ashamed of myself” “I refuse to feel bad about who am.” “If I do not believe the right thing, will not believe me.”
Appreciating the things you have is a way to think. When someone says, “Appreciate the things you have,” how do you do that? By sitting there and trying really hard to want the things you have is not how to do that. You appreciate the things you have by not sitting there grinding yourself about the things you don’t have. These “wanting” thoughts can lower you much. These thoughts may make perfect sense. But if you step out of your head and notice how you feel, you will notice that you are lowering your mood.
It doesn’t matter what you are wanting. It may be something good. But you are looking at something good and hurting yourself with it. This changed my life in 3 days. If I took a moment to want nothing, there was small satisfaction. After 3 days of doing this regularly, I was satisfied. Little things add up. I had been brought upwards. I had before this been driving myself Into misery.
Pain is the same way. Complaining about pain makes it worse. To just take it is the most simple way. Our brains love simple. If everyone did rocket science, rocket science would be common sense. If you knew nothing of rocket science, it would take a long time until it was common sense, but it would eventually feel like common sense. Broken down, everything is simple. We just have to know how to learn.
You probably also remember a time when you were yourself. How did you think and act when you were doing what you meant to. For me, I was myself and honestly expressing myself when was 12. I am this person again and am so blessed!
Regular things to think about are good people and God. Don’t worry about twisted thoughts. They are there sometimes. If you worry about them, they will get worse. The way out of that is to accept things as they are and move on. And don’t worry about twisted thoughts associated with the things you own. It’s only in your mind and it will stay only in your mind. Just move on, you will relax more. Don’t beat yourself up.
If you find that you insult yourself. Stop. You may believe that you can’t. If you believe that you can’t, don’t believe yourself. You really have a lot of control over your mind. Don’t argue with yourself. Don’t try to come up with the best thought that will beat all the others. Just stop engaging with what your brain is doing. If your brain says, “I’m stupid.” Don’t think in agreement with it and think, “do better next time,” because then you are keeping it going. If you think that and then, “but I said that last time,” you are keeping it going. Just move on. If your brain isn’t thinking nice things about you, it will go away as long as you aren’t keeping it going. Simple right?
Thinking things like, “I’m awesome,” or “I’m the best,” is being kind to you. There is a difference with pride. Thinking you are better than someone else is pride. We all have the greatest and best in us because we were created by God. Complaining isn’t something we want to do with our minds! We live in our minds. We shouldn’t have to live with complaints. Complaining makes us feel bad. Just ignore complaints. We want to think how we talk. Judging people is seriously wrong. Laughing or making fun of someone is seriously wrong. So is looking down on someone for being weak or foolish. We don’t let our minds do this. Of course we make judgements all the time though. “I should stay away from that person.” “That person looks like trouble.” “That person is dangerous.” These are judgements we need to make. “That person is ugly.” “That person is stupid.” “That person should be ashamed of themselves.” “I’m glad I’m not that person.” These things are foolish to have in our minds and terrible for our mental health. Also thinking these things about ourselves is rude. Be kind to yourself.
