7 Steps to help balance your inner thoughts

 

7 Steps to help balance your inner thoughts

 

1.       Sit in silence and listen to the thoughts that come into your awareness

2.      Write them down, even if they are just bullet points, write down what was “flying” thru your mind

3.      How did it make you feel?

4.      Here comes the tough part – Why do you think that you feel the way that you do?  Why are you so uncomfortable with YOUR thoughts?

5.      “I don’t know” is not an answer – allow yourself to really discover the reasons that you feel the way that you feel?  Will you allow yourself to be very uncomfortable?  Will you allow yourself to be vulnerable?  It is good to cry.  It is even OK to be angry.  We must allow ourselves to FEEL if we are to understand why we feel the way that we do.

6.      All feelings are valid.  And NO one can tell you how you feel.  Only YOU know why you feel the way that you do.  If you don’t know why you feel the way that you feel, it is crucial for you to take the time to think about this.  Why are you afraid of your feelings?  Why do you feel guilty about your feelings?  Do you feel ashamed of your feelings? 

7.      Each question and answer requires us to be honest with ourselves.  We cannot worry about what someone else “MIGHT” think about our feelings.  We must allow ourselves to discover the root cause of our feelings.  An example of a feeling which has not been understood – you are upset at your wife b/c she no longer shows you affection.  You are angry with her, and therefore you speak unkind to her.  Why are you unkind?  B/c she isn’t giving you any lovin’.  And why do you think she would give you some lovin’ if you are mean to her?

a.      To get down deep into this, one must take responsibility for one’s own actions.  Do not project your actions (or re-actions) onto your wife.  You must see your actions for what they are and then you can begin to see the bigger picture. 

b.      If she doesn’t feel loved by you, why do you think she would give her love to someone that isn’t showing her love?
