'What consumes your mind controls your life'
'Do not believe everything you think. Thoughts are just that: thoughts', Allan Lokos
Our mind constantly generate new thoughts.
In fact, during time of stress or when facing an emotional situation, you might experience racing thoughts.
The issue comes when we accept thoughts as solid. You might relate to them, or even trying to control them.
When we relate to negative thoughts, it will lead to negative emotions, with additional negative thoughts coming your way.
Or when we try to control our mind and thoughts, well it will work for a short while... until more uncontrolled thoughts emerge.
