Examining Our Thoughts

Can you think of some thoughts that choke out the potential for growth? What about thoughts that were planted long ago, but they are trees towering over you telling you what to think of yourself but when you look at the tree or thought, you realize it is dead and withering? What then, do you do when you find thoughts that are new seedlings? Waiting, quietly and patiently to be tended and nurtured? This week, we are going to move from talking about our emotions to examining our thoughts. So far, I have been trying to help you un-link emotions from thoughts, because I believe that emotions are meant to be trusted. But today, we are going to discuss how thoughts aren't always true. I'll guide you through what that looks like in our Sacred Garden, and I'll share four questions from Byron Katie that will help you navigate those thoughts.
