Begin healing yourself one thought at a time

Healing of both body and mind Begins with one little thought at a time. Likewise sinking into mental illness starts with one bad thought not corrected and if this is left to send create other false messages, then soon your whole system will be working under false assumptions.

Of course I know that sounds like double talk but it isn't. You're the one that calls the doctor's office and schedules an appointment, or not schedule an appointment, and you are the one that must live, or die, with the consequences. The same way with your mind, it picks up on your false assumptions and petty thoughts and irresponsibility and instead of it forcing you to accept responsibility for not only your actions, your thoughts as well, it will simply go along.

This happens, because no one knows yourself as you do, or as you think you do, so why not be the best your can be. It will take work, and it will be painful! But it is worth the effort and the work, and all it takes is one little thought at a time.

How to begin? Stop trying to rule everyone else but yourself. And in order to be your own boss, you must learn how. Where do you start. Get to know yourself, the good and the bad. Get help if you need to, and stop your destructive habits.

PS: The Image, what of it? It's nothing that is visible, but it is what ever your mind tells you it is. I was just doodling, and while the shapes suggest that with a litte effort they could more resemble people, I purposely didn't bother. In my mind, as I was messing around with pencil and paper, they are struggling souls dealing with their own lives. They knew they needed help, but help is often no farther away than one thinks and believes. Possibly the scribbles represent the hidden darkness within ourselves.

A gleam of light shines through when we begin to understand shadows are dividing lines between what has been and what will be. A black speck on a page of words is a period separating what went before to what is coming after. In other words in writing we think a thought, put it down on paper, and signal it is finished with a period. The next sentence or thought adds more and finally we've talked, or written ourselves into understanding ourselves and how we think a little more. Write out your thoughts and then read them back and see if a gleam of light does not begin to appear!
