Thoughts!!

I met someone a few weeks ago and they asked me a really interesting question. “Have you ever had a thought stay with you and imprison who you can become?”
I have pondered about this for a while and I today I came across a saying that really has stuck with me hence the reason for my blog today. Sometimes you have to let go of who you were to become who you want to be.
So if I was ever to meet this person again – which is doubtful I must admit, I would answer them and say no. I personally haven’t but I think many people do because they are too scared to let go of who they were to become who they want to be. Who they could be, who they dream to be because that means learning to forgive, grow and face adversity. Only then can you really embrace who you were and bring the freedom of life into your existence when you truly face up to things. When you take the time out to realise what is holding you back. For this gentleman a negative thought he had many years ago is still 18 years later affecting who he can become. I kept asking myself why? Why would you do that? Why would you not verbalise this and face it. Accept you had a negative thought, explore perhaps why? Then forgive yourself and accept it. Let go of it and move on. I believe this man thought this thought to deny reality. To hide what had really happened yet still he believes he has bad traits because of it. Yeah I don’t think he is truly together at this point in his life but he definitely isn’t as bad as he thinks he is. It made me so sad to think that he surely isn’t alone with this. That there are other people out there so imprisoned by their thought mind cells but in a selfish way it made me feel very lucky to not think like that. I know I am not the easiest of person, can be very outspoken when I don’t need to be and I have my faults but I know I will face up to things and accept setbacks only to learn from them. I won’t dwell on the negatives and let fear rule my life, so even though I have met this person and never will again I am actually really grateful for having had that moment because again the universe dangled the fabness of it in my face and reminded me that just because other people can’t handle you – it just means you might not see the world in the same light.  
I am learning that I definitely will and will continue to learn to let go of the past, the now and the future and sculpt my life, to face the home truths about myself then move on and see the positives from it. To not judge myself by others peoples thoughts of me or perceptions but take in what they might say and evaluate it. To not let thoughts, past actions, fears, judgements or adversity affect the amazing time I can have each day and I hope anyone reading this does not let thoughts imprison them discouraging them to have the life they want and be the person they want to become. Shit happens – get over it! :) X

Acceptance

This morning I was reading about the mind, about how we live with this internal functionality called the brain. Without it we would not live, we would not have electric pulses shooting down throughout our body enabling us to do what we want. However I have come to realise throughout the years that simply because we are attached to our brains it doesn’t necessarily mean we have to always do as it tells us, as it acts as our best friend but simultaneously acts as our worst enemy! Whilst it enables us to move our hands, walk and talk it also enables us to think. The problem with this I have come to realised is that just as unaware we are of moving our hands, legs, jaw etc. we are unaware of our thoughts. We think away but unfortunately we can’t often stop the damaging thoughts until they have taken over and we are in a pool of darkness. We don’t seem to have the mechanics of dislocating the thinking mind like we would move our hand if it was burning from the open fire. However through the...

Smell the coffee!

I received a text today that made me think. It stated:  ‘ I think that’s what you needed to do like literally switch off from all things negative and start seeing and concentrate on your positives  (which I haven’t heard or seen you do in a looooooong time!!’ I’m not going to lie. I have been in a super dark place. Not dark enough for it to show but internally I have been crumbling. I have tried my hardest to fight it and I have done an OK job but it has taken its toll. That is until yesterday. Of course I didn’t just snap out of it. I have been working hard to learn to work my way out of it but after crying just because someone that I don’t know on Saturday pushed me away I was like – WHATT??? Is this what I am allowing my brain to do to me? I deliberately didn’t rush to get the charger for my phone. I let it stay out of juice pretty much all day. I had an uncomfortable chat, then woke up and smelt the coffee. I decided that no one would ever rob me of me again. Th...

Is it important?

The universe has an interesting way of teaching you the lessons you might need to learn or open your eyes up for when they are so focused on being closed that is if you allow it. The term universe I use loosely as this can be ever so differently interpreted by each and every individual. For me the universe is everything and everyone. It is your inner voice, your gut feeling. It is what I surround myself with, the situations I find myself in. The people I meet, either by an arrangement or by chance. It is the bird singing, it’s the fields, it is the impatient hotel worker driving home from a late shift or the slow moving elderly that has come to accept that speed really isn’t for him/her.  And funnily enough this week I have really opened my senses, my eyes, my mind and soul to the universe. I have opened myself up to what is around me, what my inner voice is actually saying. What my gut feeling is trying to tell me but I am to closed off to and therefore try and control it with eit...
