What are the thoughts and the facts about our circumstance?
Circumstances are neutral and boring things that don’t mean anything unless we have a thought about it.
The truth is, we choose what to believe. All our agency is in the thoughts we choose to have about the circumstance.
Separating the two allows us to step out of our current thinking and find another way out, we can get out of the drama we have created in our heads and find peace and certainty.
The only reason this is important is that there’s more than one way that circumstance can be interpreted, the good news is that we can purposely choose what to think, instead of just reacting based on old beliefs or how we were raised, this is when we allow the "monkey brain" the part of our bran that is always looking for something wrong in everyone and with ourselves, to be in control. But remember this is it’s job! To look at everything that can kill us and interpret it as danger to keep us alive.
When we realize that our thoughts are optional we become empowered.
Once we can see that what’s "happening" to us, it’s just neutral, and that we can have any thought we want about it, we can choose to continue thinking this way or replace it instead, with something that will better serve us.
Initially, we may not be able to change it right away, but the more we practice the better we'll get at creating awareness, and preventing the thoughts that have been causing us stress, anxiety, pain and anger and all those negative emotions.
So, what are the facts and what is the story you are telling yourself?
Without a story, the facts don’t hurt. Facts never do. Whenever we have painful stories, separate out the facts. This will in affect allow us to see that we are creating our pain or our own happiness by how we choose to interpret the facts.
