12/28/13-12/29/13—Healing Your State of Mind
Weekend Reading: Nine of Swords from the Tarot Roots of Asia. This weekend you may have heavy thoughts on your mind. Whether it's anger, deceit, envy, sadness, fear or a superiority complex that has you thinking poorly of yourself, another person or situation, it's your choice to feel that way. You could just as easily choose love and/or forgiveness and make the swords that stand between you and your own personal Valhalla disappear. Recognizing you have this choice is a first step. And while you may still feel angry—and it's ok to be angry—staying stuck in that state is a toxic choice that nobody but yourself imposes upon you. Once you realize you have other options, then you can use them for your own healing.
Thank you for reminding me we can choose our thoughts. I will keep this in mind when I start worrying about new years eve or being disappointed about Christmas. Lets enjoy the present moment! :D
ReplyDeleteWe can learn to stop our thoughts and replace them with others. I do that especially with worry or anxiety, using "the universe has my back" or some other similar thing. The holidays are so hard. I ended up having a lovely holiday, but up until the night before things were not looking so hopeful. What turned me around on Christmas day was that I got up early and sat outside and watched the sunrise. It was so quiet and still and I got very emotional for reasons I don't even know. Grace, I guess. I was pretty depressed leading up to that. It's amazing how God or the universe or whatever it is out there can swoop in and change things in an instant.
