Unwanted Thoughts and Feelings We’ve Noticed Repeating
This topic is connected to thoughts, feelings, and even the body, things we’ve already explored quite a bit before. Since we don’t always know which feeling will take over or what thought will pop up on the "screen" of our mind, we can still try to bring some of our own influence into that part of our existence.
In fact, the desire to reduce the impact of unwanted thoughts and feelings usually arises only after we’ve already started getting to know ourselves by observing our thoughts and emotions and noticing that certain unwanted ones keep coming back.
Differences enrich us
When I was nine years old, during school holidays, I used to stroll around a sunny city with my favourite person. She was my grandmother's sister. She always had this warm aura of support towards me.
As we walked, she suddenly stopped and with a serious expression, she said, "I'm going to tell you something that you should remember for your whole life. You're still young, but I think you might understand what I'm trying to say.
Why and how with self-discipline
For some people, self-discipline, influenced by various factors, may have already manifested as an inherent trait during their upbringing. However, this is a negligible minority, and even such individuals can continue to work on strengthening and developing this ability.
The cost of the aspiration to broaden one's own horizons
Even those individuals who have completely adapted their actions, behaviours, and thoughts to the frameworks accepted by the social environment still face a myriad of life's problems. No one on this planet is exempt from the challenges of living and surviving.
