Thoughts In My Head

Blog City - Day 945

Prompt: “It has taken me quite a few years to realize the fact that most of the thoughts in my head are not necessary.” ― Bert McCoy
My question is, how can anyone chase away those unnecessary thoughts? Do you have any ideas?

I read and reposted this on Facebook this morning:
“A fundamental conclusion of the new physics also acknowledges that the observer creates the reality. As observers, we are personally involved with the creation of our own reality. Physicists are being forced to admit that the universe is a “mental” construction. Pioneering physicist Sir James Jeans wrote: “The stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter, we ought rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter. Get over it, and accept the inarguable conclusion. The universe is immaterial-mental and spiritual.” (R.C. Henry, “The Mental Universe” ; Nature 436:29,2005) (1)
A number of physics experiments have been shaking our perception of reality and how we can change it with our consciousness/beliefs.

Talk about heavy for a Monday morning. So is this one of the thoughts in your head that you want to be unnecessary? I am thinking we are our thoughts, as much as we are our physical bodies. The problem is when the thoughts we think are harmful to our peace of mind... those are the thoughts I want out of my head. The ones that make me lose sleep and send me running for ways to keep them at bay... problem is they can be like a virus or a slinking con artist, preying upon my poor mind.

Some of those thoughts seem to rationalize the resistance we feel when it comes to tackling things important to us. We need to stay strong - not just in body, but in mind as well. We need to eat healthy, get enough sleep and get our bodies moving so that our mind can be in top shape as well. So that we can look at those rationalizations that are holding us captive and kick their butt when we make the choice to face our fears and do what we need to do to succeed.

Henry Ford's quote comes to mind -
“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t–you’re right.” ~ Henry Ford

Mindset is what drives us. We can either limit ourselves with a Fixed Mindset or we can take on the challenges life puts in our path and have a Growth mindset.... it is all up to the way we want to think about it.

The best way for me to help get my mind straight is go take a walk along a nature trail. That tends to put things in perspective and reconnect me to the world around me. The Great Creator has me in the palm of His hand and He wants good things for me. Walking in nature helps me remember my spiritual connection to God and the natural world. I come back more refreshed and able to take on what I need to to make a success of my day.... ' cause some days are moment by moment.
