You pay attention because it feels necessary, but it’s not. Why isn’t it necessary? 🫥When you feel uncomfortable your thoughts are not helpful. 🫥Anxious thinking is distorted thinking. It’s not clear thinking. 👉When our feelings are most compulsive, our thoughts are least useful. Most misleading. Then it gets less tempting. 👉If you know that your thoughts are going to be misleading for you, it’s much less temping to listen to them. ✨Our feelings tell us about the clarity of our thinking and if we feel a little bit anxious, our thinking is a little bit distorted. If we feel really anxious, our thinking is going to be really distorted. ✨The feeling will tell you the future of the thought. If you have a bad feeling, the future of that feeling is not going to be good for you. The future of that thought is going to have a negative impact on you. 🌦️Uncomfortable feelings are the feelings of disturbed, distorted thought. The distortion of the thought creates and uncomfortable feeling. It also negatively impacts your frame of reference, your perception, the way you see things, the way you’re inclined to react to them. 🌦️If we know our thinking isn’t clear and true, we can know we don’t have to pay attention to it. 🌦️It’s not a problem to have anxious, distorted thinking because it’s temporary and changes all on its own. 💨The nature of thought is that it’s transient. It’s always coming and going. ☀️It’s not a problem to feel anxious if we can know that our thinking isn’t going to be helpful then. ☀️Try it and see how you feel when you don’t take your anxious thoughts as true. When you can just let it be there. #anxietyrelief #anxiousthoughts #anxietyawareness
