It is easy to jump in on someone else’s emotional track, but it is more important to keep my own thought distinct and close to me.
I have learned how it feels to be calm and to not react, and I have to be sure to practice this as consistently as I am able.
My spiritual study and work with a counselor have taught me the difference between my own thought and the thoughts the are so deeply implanted by parents and by society.
I can choose the thoughts which I prefer.
I prefer the happy ones.
I prefer the ones which allow me to listen deeply for good ideas.
I prefer to be able to act on the good ideas without getting bogged down in negative habits and influences.
That is what I do now.
All day, I do things that I love. Setting that up was the first step.
Being so very kind to myself was the second, in recognition that this was something I needed very much.
Acting on all the many projects which I love, in various sequences and combinations is the third step.
I am looking forward to sharing them as they get completed.
They are happy expressions of my life and I want other people to enjoy them.
I love that I can keep my thoughts close and still enjoy sharing my rich expression of doing the things I love.
