Thoughts are not facts or orders

If you want a little more stability, calmness and contact with yourself during difficult periods of life, we invite you to join the “Awareness as a Resource” program.

On Friday, June 19, we will conduct another lesson: “Thoughts: these are not facts or orders.”

Do you recognize the situation? We waved to a friend on the street, and he walked past without answering. And away we go: “He doesn’t like me,” “What did I do wrong?”, “Okay, everyone is like that.” One thought, and everything is different: both your mood and how you will behave further. But you, in fact, just came up with something.

Thoughts pop up on their own, without our permission. It's just what the mind does, just like the heart beats and the lungs breathe. The problem is not in the thoughts themselves, but in the fact that we accept them as truth and commands and immediately believe in them. At this meeting, we train to see a thought as a thought: observe how it appears, and not necessarily buy into its plot.
