Past simple

hi beauties welcome back to my channel I made a post a few weeks ago talking

To-infinitive

about we are not our thoughts and I decided to make this video to expand a

little more about it because I truly feel that that realization has

completely changed the way I view myself and the power that I now know that I

have over my life so how many times a day do you have a thought or an emotion

that completely either throws you off makes you feel sad or happy overwhelmed

and kind of dictates the rest of your day or your week or your month and your

mood and that obviously has a domino effect that affects everyone else around

you and your work and your friends I've noticed that so many of us are

completely misinformed and not aware the fact that our thoughts and our emotions

are not who we are we choose to identify with it we choose to give it power we

choose to give it attention which in return builds our belief system about

ourselves about the world a lot of us just look at these things like they're

completely set and there's nothing we can do about it in fact we have so much

more power than we realize I want to break it down to you a little bit what

our thoughts what our emotions where are they coming from

well our brain produces all of this and that responds those thoughts and those

emotions are usually based on the conditioning that we've had from our

childhood from the past from society's conditioning society's perspective we

really consumed all of this in and we think that this is what we think what we

believe we're and that it is not for me what I found that

work best is being aware but not only aware is also being mindful awareness is

having the perspective of stepping out you know and looking at things from the

outside and also being able to look within and have a clear perspective of

what's going on inside mindfulness on the other hand is kind of an extension

of awareness it's basically measures the quality of your awareness so that's why

those things go hand in hand so not only do you need to be aware you also have to

be mindful to really get to the purest level of awareness while this sounds

like really rude but I hope that I'm making sense when we realize that all

these thoughts that are going through our head has nothing to do with us we

are able to look at these dots in these emotions as objects just like you stand

outside and you look at a tree or a bird you just literally stare at them from

the outside don't get attached to them don't identify with them understand they

don't come from you they come from or everything around and it is in your

power to either let them run their course let them kind of slide through

you can be aware of them which is wonderful because you understand what's

going on but don't grab them and don't give them your attention and don't cling

to them which will make you dad believe that this is what you think and this is

what you feel I thought without the attention you give it it's just a

thought and once it runs its course it's nothing at all it leaves no footprints

no impression on you and can you imagine how free you feel once you let all these

bajillion thoughts that run through your head every single minute to just pass

by and not identify with them so the next time you're in a situation where

you have your thoughts or you have your emotions that will usually kind of

dictate your mood or your day stop take kind of the outside perspective look at

it for what it is and let it go please understand that these thoughts and

emotions do not come from you they are basically a ruler of everything that's

going on from the outside so you have the power to choose to either identify

with it give it the power over you over your life or to just look at it from the

outside be like mm-hmm thanks bye next I feel like maybe that's

what ariana grande's song was about like on the deeper level

it wasn't like about ex-boyfriends it was about like hmm I'm not good enough

Thank You next I'm fat pink you're next I will never find love Thank You next I

hope that it will give you a different perspective to look at what's going on

in here and understand that there's levels to who we are and this level is

not the core so practice being mindful and know that you have the power to

decide who you are and what is your belief system also before I forget I did

link some of the books podcasts videos that I felt really helped me to get it

all click together so I would really want you guys to watch it if you are at

a place where you're ready to take on this project of connecting to a deeper

level of consciousness and understanding what it is that's going on here so check

it out in my description box I haven't so missed these kind of videos I really

have to do more of these I feel like in the last year I've been really going

through a really aggressive and fast self growth journey and I think that

it's time to share some of my learnings and

lessons with you guys okay now I'm done I'm done thank you guys so much for
