monkey mind
By not wanting, there is calm, and the world will straighten itself. When there is silence, one finds the anchor of the Universe within oneself.
excerpt from 37th verse of Change your thoughts, change your life Dr. Wayne Dyer
Beach tip of the day: Covered with stubborn sand after a day at the beach? Keep some talcum powder in the car as an easy removal secret. Just sprinkle and wipe off…
Monkey Mind. It’s a bitch. There I am, wandering through my day or night – when the attack comes. Spinning thoughts about everything – and nothing. From the little things that I might forget to “Oh my God I have ruined my life”.
I have learned that stopping and recognizing that they are all just thoughts and can be replaced with something else helps. Not fighting also helps – after all, my monkey mind is just trying to take care of me. But mostly now I just repeat, over and over again:
“By not wanting, there is calm, and the world will straighten itself. When there is silence, one finds the anchor of the Universe within oneself.”
This reminds me that everything really is okay. And, I am a beloved part of the Universe.
By the time I have repeated that a few times – I really have found the “anchor”.
Blessed be…
