Lately I’ve been feeling down, and while there are good reasons for it (at least in my mind) I have found myself considering the various things that get me down and noticing that in some cases I tend to focus on the negative instead of counting my blessings with all the positives. For example, when I’ve been hurt by a friend, I tend to obsess over the fact that I’ve been hurt by a friend and not count how lucky I am to be blessed with so many other wonderful friends. I tend to not be able to overlook that slight or whatever it happens to be. Another example is when something should have been recognized and wasn’t I tended to focus on my hurt of that occurrence rather than all of the great people that did recognize something.
I know that I often have a problem with aligning heart and head when it comes to certain things. I know in my heart that “this or that” needs to be done or thought of in a way that is healthy, but for some reason I have a hard time changing my thought patterns on things. One part of me knows to “let it go” and another part resists for some reason.
So how does one change their thought patterns, while struggling to align heart and head? Any suggestions?
