Choose your thoughts wisely from "summary" of The Practicing Mind by Thomas M. Sterner

The thoughts we allow to occupy our minds greatly influence our experiences and outcomes in life. When we choose our thoughts wisely, we are actively shaping our reality and setting the stage for success. This concept is especially important in the practice of mindfulness and developing a focused mind. Our thoughts have the power to either propel us forward or hold us back. Negative thoughts can create barriers that prevent us from reaching our full potential, while positive thoughts can inspire and motivate us to overcome challenges. By consciously choosing our thoughts, we take control of our mindset and cultivate a more productive and resilient attitude. In the midst of practicing a skill or working towards a goal, it is easy to become distracted by negative thoughts or self-doubt. However, by recognizing these thoughts and intentionally replacing them with positive affirmations and encouragement, we can maintain a sense of focus and determination. This practice requires discipline and self-awareness, but the results are well worth the effort. Choosing our thoughts wisely also involves being mindful of our inner dialogue and the stories we tell ourselves. Instead of dwelling on past mistakes or worrying about the future, we can redirect our thoughts towards the present moment and the task at hand. This shift in perspective allows us to fully engage in the practice process and experience a greater sense of flow and satisfaction.
  1. By consciously selecting our thoughts and maintaining a positive mindset, we can achieve a greater sense of clarity, purpose, and fulfillment in our lives. The practice of choosing our thoughts wisely is a powerful tool for personal growth and success, enabling us to overcome obstacles and realize our full potential. By harnessing the power of our thoughts, we can create a reality that aligns with our goals and aspirations.
