Last year I learned that I am not my body. This year because I am apparently a slow learner, I learned that I am not my thoughts either.
Our brain is an organ just like our kidneys or stomach and we don’t believe we are the urine we produce or the contents of our intestines.
Like our digestive system, our thoughts are essential but are not who we are. Plus WE CAN CHANGE THEM. How cool is that? If we don’t want to be, say, a total bitch, we can change.
We don’t have to follow the well-worn path through the forest. We can choose a new path. It’ll be hard at first and may require a machete but it’s worth it.
But the first step is to start telling ourselves the truth.
Hey! This reminds me of one of my antichrist dot points. Hahaha
Ooh I’ll have to take a look. I love me a bit of anti christ. I’m such a disappointment to my parents I sometimes call myself the anti-christine.
I wrote in one of my posts that I’m the original cris mihai anti-cris
Hahahahaha
I’ve often said some people won’t let the facts interrupt their worldview. Love the comparison to the urine! How much easier it is to change our thoughts than any other part of our body though, right?
Absolutely right!! But it’s like the old joke about the psychologist and the light bulb. The light bulb must Want to change… 😉
Great reminder!
This is what I am going through right now, I know my thoughts are just passing by and I need to stop entertaining them, thank you for the reminder 🙂

I am almost obsessive about my journaling because it’s the only thing that seems to quiet that nasty voice and still let the creative ones flow <3
You have some great analogies in this post that have me thinking once again. Thank you! 🙂
Thank you for reading 🙏
