Improve My Life?

»How we feel depends on What we think.« This might not surprise you, cause you already knew it. But the question is how can you control your feelings. Is it even possible?
What if you already had all the power to control your feelings ... would you use it?
To understand this option let's take a look at how our mind »power« works. Long story short it is all about our »thought path«. Every single thought has a start, travels through our mind and runs out. It can start in two different ways. One way is a routine or a reflex. The second is our conscious decision. We can describe the first way as a part of »go with the flow« mode or as a part of our experience. In both situations The thought simply appears and quickly shows us the result – kind of a feeling.
For example if we practice using a new keyboard or remote control long enough, it gets in our routine (smth. we are used to). Then we don't need to look on a remote control each time to push the right button and change the tv program. The good news is, we shorten the time of every day routines ... can you imagine what would happen if every time you wanted to cook spaghetti you would need to read a manual on »How to do this«.
Another example is based on »social proof« and I set this one as a part of go with the flow mode. It means you do smth. in a common way without a doubt and without a question, cause everyone does it like this. For example you eat more vegetables cause it's good for your health and everyone says so, so it must be good, right? But did you ask yourself how those veggies have been produced? The producer might have used a little bit of pesticides to »help« grow those plants. I won't even mention clones or dead water and soil. In this case let me say I agree Go with the flow could mean go towards the goals. The question is whose goals ... from others maybe?
The second way, conscious decision making, I call »Go with Your flow«. In this case we take control of setting our focus and all feelings are only up to us. So, shouldn't we master this way in order to live our way? Ok, what is the way now? In order to take charge of our mind-focus, we need to direct it. Isn't this great news ... to become a director? And what is the main job or how the hack is it possible to direct ourselves? It should be easy. The whole hint is in setting the right questions.
And what can questions do for us?
Let's see ... when we ask ourselves, we start a new thought. And we demand to get an answer, right? When we ask, our mind starts to focus on searching results... it works like an internet browser. Depending on our mind patterns – these are like web database – we produce answers. The rest you probably know... it wouldn't be funny if an answer existed without a bonus – feelings.
It sounds easy, I know. And it is easy, if we live in specially designed area with no distractions, maybe somewhere in Himalaya. But otherwise... it's a bit more difficult. But hey, that's the fun life offers us.
You don't need to push yourself. While practicing »Do what excites you« start asking yourself empowering questions. For example How can I do this, Where can I search for help, Who has already done this? And for god sake don't repeat disempowering questions like Why me or Why did this happen to me ... this sounds like »You wish to drink a cold water while opening a tap of hot one« - it won't be cold, right?
