Scribbled Thoughts - A Dialogue with Self



When others cause an action against you that makes you feel sad, angry or worried, question yourself.



Ask, as if another "you," is outside of yourself wanting to know the following:



-Self, how has this thought come into your mind?

-Self, is this thought helping you right now?

-Self, is this a kind thought?

-Self, you can overcome this. All challenges in life are potential breakthroughs to higher thinking.



This dialogue with the self might seem a little weird at first should you try, but it has helped me when presented with difficult situations.



Examining your thoughts like this or in your own way is like flipping the light switch on. Staying within your thoughts and even worse, acting on them, may cause stress, worry and fear because you're still in the dark.



Remember you are the observer and observed of your life. The observer is you just living, and the observed is that thing in your head that tells you when something is right or wrong.



When it's not kind, that's ego and when it is, it's the beginning of consciousness.



"As far as you can, get into the habit of asking yourself in relation to any action taken by another: 'What is the point of reference here?' But begin with yourself: examine yourself first ." Meditations by Marcus Aurelius - Chapter 10-37
