Monitor thoughts or feelings?
The movie “the secret” and all the books on law of attraction tell us that negative thoughts will bring more negative things to our life. so many people feel it a must to monitor everyday thoughts, but I have to say that thoughts can not be monitored and should not be monitored.
Thoughts can not be monitored completely
For thoughts, what we can pay attention to is only a drop in the ocean. Every minute we all create too many thoughts, but we can only be aware of few part of it.
We have the limited capacity of dealing with thoughts which change frequently, so it is impossible to monitor thoughts completely. especially, if we monitor one, we perhaps lose the other more.
Thoughts should not be monitored
What we pay attention to will attract more of the same. The direct goal to monitor thoughts before is to make us stay in match with wealth, health and happiness, but since we can’t monitor all the thoughts, we then can not achieve this goal through monitoring thoughts.
But we can capture our feelings and deliberately change them. thoughts will create feelings and it is easier to grasp all the feelings on the NOW.
