@Harmony - hiya and thanks - I didn’t know you did PAINTING! I have had CommentLuv for a while - are you changing Golden Zen over to self-hosted wordpress? That would be great for you - so many more toys to play with (I know you have nothing else to do all day except blogging)

Hey Robin,
Really good thoughts to ponder here. I especially liked the part about leaping to learn. I find that in my life the leaps in my writing, in creative thinking for businesses, in painting and even in relationships - do just what you said…they make me uncomfortable, but they also open me up in ways my routine would never have allowed. THANKS FOR THE POST!

PS…have you always had comment luv? I want this on my next blog. Don’t think it works on mine.

@Barbara - that’s interesting - when I’m tired and grumpy I have to tell myself it will look better in the morning. Thanks for that.
@Stacey - hi there - it’s great growing older isn’t it! I had to do a lot of “training” my thoughts to believe I could be creative, too (I was a “boring science type”).
@Natural - yes - I’d agree that how we act, and also dealing with our feelings, are part of the equation.

Hey Robin, hmm, I do believe in the power of positive thinking and controlling our thoughts to get what we want, but as mentioned, we have to act in harmony with our thoughts and even then there are limits.
totally agree: Our physical life is constantly giving us feedback about the state of our thoughts.

Based on my own experience, thinking productive thoughts and experiencing creativity comes with age. As I grow older I am also growing wiser. I’m training my thoughts to welcome creativity instead of telling myself that I’m not creative.

Robin, I also like to think “that when more people reach for the light, in any of a myriad of ways, and this becomes commonplace, a shift will occur in our mass consciousness”. Beautifully stated!

Hi Robin,

I do believe there is a lot of power in our thoughts. For me, the hardest is to stay positive if I haven’t had enough rest. Knowing this, I carefully monitor my thoughts when I’m tired.

@Lance - thanks Lance - it’s interesting that we can “watch” our thoughts and learn from them, isn’t it!
@Miguel de Luis - it’s interesting the way kids will just come out with things - and what a shame he had that self-image, which obviously lead to unfornunate results! We do need to be careful what we tell people! - including ourselves.
@Kelly - thanks Kelly - Louise’s book was one of the first in this field that I read - except I was 33! I love the way you have written about feelings and the body and so on. In this post I decided to just focus on thoughts, to give a picture of how things work, because clarity itself can be useful, I think - but of course working with thought alone won’t be very helpful in the long run (or even the short run) - some people do try to do it. Good luck with everything!
@Chris - hi there - I need to do that too - I have a few ideas I haven’t been acting on.
@Vered - hi - it’s interesting how we can choose to make the most of things, isn’t it!
@Jeff - hi there - I’m not feeling younger hehe - it’s the end of a long, cold winter here! I really enjoyed reading your thoughts on this - thanks (and “thunk” is a family expression I snuck in)
@Bill - hitting a wall in no fun is it. I think a big part of thinking the way I have outlined, should we want to try it, is to be gentle with ourselves, and also get some help (including from writings) in discovering patterns and turning them around. Thanks for your thoughts on this!
@Evelyn - they are great images, aren’t they - and thanks about the little pic. I like your “We may also be seeing the world with most parts of our minds being asleep or unawakened.” - so true.
@Davina - thanks! That’s really interesting about the “floating” thoughts we may pick up - I think about thoughts like that too, as far as ideas and inspiration go, at least. Very interesting!
@Urban Panther - ha ha - they ARE slippery characters! I try to deliberately turn unfortunate thoughts around, but don’t always manage it (and sometimes we need to give our thoughts free reign so we can get in touch with what is bugging us, too, I think)
@Cath - hi and thanks! Actually I don’t think there’s anything wrong with our impulsive thoughts - and we really wouldn’t want to decide they are “wrong”. It’s more that we can use a variety of techniques to become aware of thoughts in our subconscious mind that are holding us back or creating less-than-helpful relationships, or whatever, and then change them or let them go e.g. techniques to improve our self-esteem, or let go of our fear of success. Getting in touch with our real, underlying feeings (as you so beautifully described!) would be an essential part of that process.
@love-ely - hi there and welcome! Thanks for that - and I will be over to your blog soon (I’m slow to visit blogs at the moment)
@Al - we can’t prove these things. can we! I think that’s a really good point you make about our physical efforts and how they are part of the process of having the life we want.
@Marelisa - hi there - I really like your points about visualisation - and thinking about what we want may seem obvious, but isn’t always, really. Thanks for your thoughts on this!
