This is yet another superb Course in Miracles exercise. All of our emotions are directly connected to our thoughts – conscious or subconscious. Every time we are feeling an emotion that we do not like, we should consider the thoughts we are choosing to think. There are definitely some thoughts that hurt – that may seem to come unwanted and from outside sources. But we must always remember still, that they are a choice. If certain thoughts are hard to relinquish, seek Divine Guidance and listen. Always remember to never enter a state of resistance. Do not fight your thoughts. How insane it is, when the mind attacks itself. Choose to be the silent observer and awareness. If we realize we are thinking thoughts that do not serve us, we should either change them, or simply allow them to play out and pass. For we know that they are only thoughts. Peace and joy are your natural state to claim, and they are always only a thought away.

Hey, Benjamin!
Very insightful post – it's one of those things that are so easy to say and to understand, yet are much more challenging to actually do. Do you have any strategies?
Also, I visited you blog – I liked the post with Loise Hay affirmations.
You look pretty young – what prompted you to explore this wonderful field?
Cheers, mate!
