THOUGHT RE-TRAINING
THOUGHT RE-TRAINING
We are not taught how to think – it’s a pity. The thoughts in your head can
make you pretty relaxed about life or very miserable. The thoughts in your head
are not the reality – they are your reality. Every thought has a physical
reaction on your body. Your mind and body are completely connected. The thoughts
in your head can actually make you physically ill! They can start the ‘fight or
flight’ reaction in your body. They can make you depressed. They can make you
dream more at night. They can make you exhausted.
We’ve
seen extreme sports, but I’ve also encountered many clients who go in for
extreme thinking – ‘what if this happens…and then that…..if only….I could have
this….or he could do that…I’ll be happy when…when….what if… what if.’
These people often don’t enjoy the present, they live in the future, or rake
up the past. They are never in the present moment – but that’s where we are –
always.
With this in mind, 4Change believes that it’s important that all its clients
learn to control the thoughts in their heads. Some of them need some thought
re-training. It’s very simple stuff. There’s some discussion, and tips and
techniques to use – with back-up literature to take away. Often there’s a
wonderful moment of enlightenment when someone realises that they just don’t
have to carry around all that junk in their head.
It’s particularly rewarding to work with young people and give them some
simple tips that can literally change their life.
Read Richard Carlson’s ‘Stop Thinking Start Living’ – it’s short, simple and
excellent.
As Emerson said: ‘A man is what he thinks all day long.’
