Mind Games!

Have you ever been caught up in a thought that will not let

you out? Escape is not an option. What was a simple drip in

your pool of thoughts, quickly turned into an ocean of

tidal waves rolling into each, over and over again.This is

what it feels like to not have positive control over your

mind.

Our minds often repeat hurtful thoughts or scenarios over

and over, even when we’d much rather let them go. If you

start really listening to your inner voice, you are

probably dwelling on the past, remembering how someone may

have let you down, or how much anger you still hold back

from being hurt. If you fear the challenges that are waiting

for you, or you are ashamed at where you are now in your

life as compared to where you had planned on being, these

fears will definitely be in line to play the mind game on

you. All of these insecure or hurtful emotions that you once

tucked away will come back to play when the game begins.

Only when they come back, you will not recognize them. This

is your first bad move. Now the mind game begins.

The game is of the mind, to confuse you in your thought

process. When your mind is triggered even slightly by a

word, a picture, or even a look, what we want to do is to

think positive, nice, sweet and safe thoughts. If you have

the slightest opening in your mind, the game will begin. It

will take a thought and wait for your first emotional

weakness. Then it will twist that thought and magnify it so

that it feeds on that weakness and sends you into that ugly

world of negative thinking.

You would give anything to shake off these negative

thoughts, but we all know so well that it’s easier said than

done. Instead, you struggle through your day feeling like

you are a freak and that if you do not get a grip on this

mind game, and soon , you will explode. All that you want,

is to be free of negative thoughts and be happy all the

time.

You spend a lot of time thinking over negative feelings

and sulking over regrets and misfortunes. The worst part is

that the more you try to end this horrible game that twists

your brain so tight, the worse it gets. You will try to

avoid your hidden shames and worries, or drown them with

alcohol or drugs. All that happens when that little fix-it

ends, is that the mind game becomes stronger. New thoughts

continue, the game attacks again only to turn those thoughts

against you. You can feel them escalate into negative

scenarios in your mind, but at this point powerless. The

power of the game is winning and you are now in the

believing stage of the game. Your mind now believes your

negative thoughts. You are forced to react, and through this

reaction the mind game soars and takes over even further.

Now it not only controls you, but it has also taken control

of your entire world and whoever is in it at the time. You

collapse from the draining feeling of failure once again.

You feel that you will never be able to win this mind game.

You feel that you will be a pawn for the rest of your days

on earth. A doormat and a bug to stepped on over and over

again, because of your inability to gain strength and take

control of your positive mind. So why not just give in? Why

not just bow down whenever you fail to think positive

thoughts? Well, I will tell you why you do not want to do

that!

You are a human being with a heart and a brain. You were

given the ability to feel emotions. Emotions such as:

self-respect. self-esteem, humor, love, laughter, sexuality,

self-confidence, but most of all, you were given

intelligence and the will to survive. You were given the

gift of life. Those are the reasons to fight. How to fight,

is also right there in front of you.

You are already aware of the mind game. Most of you have

played it so long that you should be the champions by now. I

have talked about habits many times and I will keep talking

about them. Through habits you can defeat many of those mind

games. Try to simplify your thoughts. The stronger the game

tries to twist them, the harder you work to shrink them.

I read about an interesting way to look at this. Think of

your thoughts as a pop-up ad on your computer. You see it

and then you don`t. Or it pops up and you simply delete it

without giving it a second thought. Even if it was a

negative pop-up, you spend no time at all analyzing where it

came from, you simply carry on with what you were doing.

This is a good way to play, and win the game. Also another

way to play and win, is when your thought begins to twist

through the negative game, start to vocalize it. Sing it

quietly to yourself, or hum outloud. This will confuse the

game, and throw it off track. Immediately when you get a

thought that seems to be fair game, think of something very

funny or a very sad movie that made you cry. A very good

habit is to change your thought track. The game cannot keep

up when the track is jumped. Be aware that your mind is a

game field, but you have to play it in order to win. If you

do not play, you will lose by defeat. SAD!!! So my words to

you is this : KICK IT`S BUTT!!!!!!!
