This generates a kind of mental/emotional magnetic field - by that I mean my mind thinks about these thoughts repetetively and it doesn't take much to trigger the cascade. One thought leads into the other which generates emotion which generates more thought. Vicious circle.
The trouble is that the thoughts appear to make sense. They are complaining about the "problem" chewing on it over and over, tightening the vise and going deeper into the pain of it. The magnetic field grows stronger and it becomes harder for the mind to break free of the gravitational pull of the pain.
The key is to realize that the mind is a reality generating machine. And you are in control. It is not the external situation and certainly not the past. It is all how my mind is interpreting it.
If the mind is set to focusing on what it doesn't want, then it is set on a path that will lead to seeing a future filled with what it doesn't want. A future that has to be avoided at all costs, a future that is a "life sentence", a future that is problematic, uninspiring. This creates an urgency and sometimes, panic.
If I start to consciously take control of my mind and begin to focus it on what I do want, then things shift. I start to focus and project into the future what inspires me, what I want to express. There can be some inertia at first, maybe even the old pattern will begin to argue about how it is not possible, and how miserable things are. This is good. The little monster of the mind is becoming exposed. Take note of the negativity within and what it is saying. What is it committed to? The danger of listening to this negativity will become apparent and make it easier to recognize and drop. When you know something is literally dangerous, you don't get into confusion around it. You avoid it at all costs.
Start saying waht you want. I want to be joyful, I want to be powerful, I want love in my life, I want to love, I want to experience an abiding peace, I want to make a difference in the lives of others, I want to be free, I want to make a great living doing what I love, I want to travel, I want to create, etc.. Sky is the limit.
Feel the difference from one mode of the mind to the other. One is heavy, one is light. One is limited and binding, one is infinite and freeing. One creates a bleak future that I want to avoid, the other creates a future that I look forward to living into.
Create your own reality. Create an amazing future to live into by using the power of your mind consciously.
