| Here is a collection of ruminations and whatnot. |
| I have been reading about how to Detox Your Thoughts, a book that I saw online that was recommended by someone. I have read a quarter of it. it's good. I like the thoughts the author has given. I never thought I'd keep reading a book. (I usually read the first few pages and if it isn't interesting, I discard it.) I have been able to address some toxic thoughts from reading this book so far. There are other thoughts that cling to mind but I'm getting used to them. I discard them as I wish them to be. I feel as though I have a future still. The toxic thoughts have been making it difficult for me to carry on and do my work as a writer. But there are also fear thoughts that tell me not to go ahead and do something that was inspiring to me at the time. However, I think those fear thoughts are defence mechanisms to preserve my life so I would sometimes listen to them, or sometimes I'd give them my attention. I'm an optimistic sort. I think that there's hope for every living person as long as there's life for them to live. I want nothing to do with those thoughts that want me to end it all. I've been given thoughts to do that and it's terrible. I've no wish to do this terrible thing and it's NOT an option. I hope this will encourage everyone to strive to do their best, even though life is tough. It will not be easy this life we lead. Everyone no matter if they're poor or each will need to strive to keep off the toxicity that surrounds them. Some places in the world might be looked on as bad places becaus they're inundated with terrible storms every so often and they're not the richest looking places but the people seem happy enough. There was a picture of a place in the Pacific where there was a huge flood from typhoons and the days after there was destruction everywhere. Yet the picture captured a group of boys playing in the sun some basketball and they paused for the picture with grins on their faces. It made me feel good that despite the conditions where they lived they still were able to catch some fun and happiness. I think it might be they were just glad that the typhoons had passed. They weren't the ones that were responsible to fix things up, no, those who had to think of rebuilding faced the grim future of getting houses and bridges fixed up. But that picture stays in mind (well, not stays in mind but you get my drift) and it gives me encouragement and hope that despite the bad things that happen to men and women and children, they who survive can carry on. |
