Thinking
Thinking is something that I have always done in massive amounts through my life. Though it sounds like a great thing, it not always is. It tends to keep me up at night, make me worry a lot, and affect those around me to tell me “don’t worry” in almost all situations. It came to a point where I felt like I couldn’t be without this constant worry, I figured, I needed to find a way to relax.
Over the last few weeks I have been re-reading some of my Buddhist class books and have found something that really helped me. Buddhism seems to be a lot about paying attention to the moment. If the moment has to be thinking, then guess what, pay attention to thinking. Ok, so I tried that and well it worked. When I get to the point I am thinking about something that I can’t control, or thinking about the past of future, I just say thinking. Though often it sounds like a judgmental concept, like STOP THINKING, it shouldn’t be that way. I am getting better on just understanding that I am thinking and moving along with life. I am most grateful to have teachers that have allowed me to work through these problems and continue in life as it should be, happy.
