Expanding Thoughts In The Wrong Direction
Your thoughts can expand in the wrong direction and
your mind can get out of control. When your thoughts are created by your
fear, anger, pain, or lust, your thoughts can expand in the wrong
direction. Here are some examples of what we think about when our
thoughts go in the wrong direction:
-
“I get sore…”
-
“It hurts...”
-
“I can no longer…”
-
“It's bad…”
-
“It's all such a burden…”
-
“My insurance might be canceled…”
-
“I might be in an accident…”
-
“I'm in so much pain…”
-
“I don't know what's ahead…”
-
“I'm afraid of…”
-
“I'm confined most of the time…”
-
“I don’t know what to do…”
-
“It's all so painful…”
-
“I'm so afraid…”
-
“My problem is getting worse…”
-
“I've had to work so hard…”
-
“I'm a driven person…”
-
“My life has been very difficult…”
-
“I've never had someone who was really for
me…”
-
“I’ve never had anyone who really loved
me…”
-
“My spouse is self-centered…”
-
“My self-esteem is low…”
-
“I have no self-confidence…”
-
“I cry all the time…”
-
“Every time I think about _____, I cry…”
-
“I'm so helpless…”
-
“I hate myself…”
-
“I hate others because…”
Given free reign, these dark thoughts can become a
larger problem than the problem already is. We must all understand we
can choose what we think about and how we think. We must all understand
there really is an opposite to every thought. For every dark thought,
there is a thought full of God’s light and love. For every thought
about defeat, there is a thought about victory. For every thought of
sadness, there is a thought of joy. For every thought about weakness
there is a thought about being strong. For every thought about hate
there is a thought about love. For every thought about pain there is a
thought about comfort. For every thought about hopelessness there is a
thought about hope.
