Thank you very much ...Dear Ginger and Blueyedane, <br /><br />Thank you very much for your comments, encouragements and insights. I for sure will ponder upon what you have both mentioned and prevail and to cultivate to master the choice of my thoughts. There is a little time lag with the correspondences AB puts up, I'm doing a little better now using "goody goody". I really appreciate your time to take to comment. Best wishes to both and all of you. Very sincerely, Y.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695087504686401302.post-85924901641754947422010-11-03T11:41:52.213-07:002010-11-03T11:41:52.213-07:00I went and watched a movie recently and was surpri...I went and watched a movie recently and was surprised to get this little tidbit of wisdom. It's literally one of the best things you can learn to do for yourself. To preface this quote you probably need to know that the woman who is being spoken to has just left her busy harried life in New York to go to India to work and meditate at an ashram. She is in a lot of pain. She's trying to find herself and some peace and understanding in her life. The quote is from a man who became her mentor- "You're going to have to learn to select your thoughts the same way you select your clothes every day. Now that's a power that you can cultivate. You want to come here and you want to control your life so bad work on the mind, and I don't think you should be trying to control a thing because if you can't master your thoughts you are in trouble forever."<br /><br />The best thing is that like Viktor Frankl and A.B. Curtiss say, you have a choice. As small and as interstitial as it may seem that choice is there. That one choice to think a thought like " I'm really doing well because I'm breathing and if I'm breathing there is more right with me then there is wrong with me." or maybe a quote from Depression is a choice like, " Enlightenment is the realization that there really is no problem." Maybe these thoughts are to complex maybe just a green frog will do. either way find those thoughts and utilize them because the truth is despair really doesn't work. Like A.B. Curtiss's friend said "I tried despair and it doesn't work"Blueyedanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07929151412742060605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695087504686401302.post-39831743656442440202010-11-03T11:40:50.746-07:002010-11-03T11:40:50.746-07:00I went and watched a movie recently and was surpri...I went and watched a movie recently and was surprised to get this little tidbit of wisdom.

Depression/anxiety hurts so bad sometimes I want to scream, at those moments I try to realize that I am literally one thought away from living the life I want to live and I try to institute that thought or any thought I can that will turn me that 180 degrees in the opposite direction to build a different neural pathway so that I don't keep walking into the holes I make for myself.
