Every one of us has an ongoing inner dialogue in our head that starts the second we are conscious in the morning, to the last second before we go to sleep.  

For some of us that looks like looking in the mirror and shredding ourselves because we have age spots, or our body isn’t exactly the way we want it.  For others it may be ruminating over that thing someone said or did yesterday.  And for a lot of us it’s just simply “holy crap, Ive got a lot to do today and not enough time to do it in no wonder Im such a stressed mess” something like that.  
Now.  These are the kind of thoughts that come from our brain when it is left to it’s own negative proclivity.  Kind of like that Taylor Swift song…where she says Left to my own devices, I comes with crisis…  You know I’m right. It’s so important to be aware and get out in front of it.  It’s important not only for ourselves but for everyone else in our world too.  I’ll give you a good example of how that worked for me in a minute.  
During on of my guided meditations last week Jeff Warren was talking about thoughts popping up like a mushroom and then it sprouts and now it’s full blown and you’re lost in a spiral of thought after thought about that one thought that popped up.  I could relate so well to that.  I used to be totally unaware that I could control those thoughts, since Ive been doing a lot of thought work though I realize I totally control what my thoughts are and I get to choose if Im going to allow them or not and SO DO YOU.  And this is a super power because given the chance any number of thoughts that pop up in a day could wreck my day if I go all in on it.  Jeff was asking us to consider what thoughts feel like in our brain, because his feel like mushrooms but mine don’t feel like that, mine are more like waves.  Have you ever been in the ocean on a clear beautiful day and the waves are really big?  And maybe you have a boogie board or surf board maybe you don’t, but with every wave, you decide whether you are going to ride that wave to shore or if you’re going to duck under it and let the wave smoothly pass you by.  That’s how thoughts are for me anymore.  And the more aware I am of them, the more I realize I get to decide whether I am going to ride that wave of thought or if Im going to duck it like you would when you’re playing in the ocean.   Listen to the entire episode to hear my personal example of how our inner dialogue also affects our closest relationships! Love you guys!
