When someone brings to my attention that I have lost my cheerfulness it is pretty reliable gauge that I have a disconnect somewhere in my spiritual life and need to
plug back in immediately. Additionally, I have been more than likely "frequenting" the land of thee’ over thinker.
Ever been there?
When I get to “THAT” place- Yep – “THAT” place… (Where nothing productive is happening)… I remind myself that PEACE and FUN country are where I want to reside … not only for MY OWN well being–but for EVERYONE’S well being around me.
Someone who I respect very much shared this great discipline w me when it comes to over thinking... Try it and see if it works for you. When your mind gets away from you and you realize you are obsessing about the same thought over and over… Clap your hands together and say out loud –“STOP” … As silly as it may sound it totally works. It reinforces the new mental habit- and kinda’ breaks the old vicious cycle.
“IF YOU’RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT-CLAP YOU HANDS”…
“IF YOU’RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT-CLAP YOU HANDS”…
If YOU are Happy and you KNOW It…… then your FACE will merely show it. Uh huh…. I think they were on to something in elementary school.
WHO LOVES YA? You know I dooo. ;)
