Do the phrases: ‘It’s alright for some, it’s not fair, it’s not my fault, Irnam a victim of circumstance,’ sound familiar? Even if you have neverrnuttered them at some point in your life I would wager you have heardrnothers say them. What you are hearing is an instinctive reaction to anrnexternal reference point, an immediate and negative default emotionrnof allocating blame. Mindfulness is about controlling these defaultrnand negative emotions derived from external reference points andrninstead concentrating on your own internal strength and beliefs.rnPlease understand that your mind is yours to control, it is yourrnchoice how you react to events or circumstances. It always remainsrnyour choice or decision to be angry, sullen, envious, embittered andrneverything else that is negative and unproductive. Life may be difficultrnbut it isn’t against you, it is your own mindset that is your adversary.rnIf you feel you are always losing in life then please consider that byrnthinking negatively and always being influenced by external referencernpoints you may be defeating yourself. If you constantly drip-feed intornyour subconscious thoughts of your own inadequacy, you will feelrninadequate and other people will perceive you as so. The subconsciousrnmind responds to habit and habitual thinking. If you repeatedly thinkrnyou are useless, that you have no chance of getting a fair deal in lifernor somehow there is a conspiracy against you personally, that is whatrnyour subconscious, the essence of you, will believe.rnThink deeply and question your beliefs about yourself and others.rnControl the thoughts and images you have of yourself and allow onlyrnpositive ones. Understand that we do not attract what we want, butrnwhat we are. ’Circumstances do not make a person, they reveal him’ James Allen. ‘A person is what he thinks about all day.’ Ralph Waldo Emerson.rnAction: Don’t ever countenance negative thinking. Avoid blamingrnothers when the responsibility for you lies with you. By deep reflectionrnand meditation, focus positively on the life you want, how yournview others, and the person you want to be. Write down positivernaffirmations and repeat them daily until they are imprinted on to yourrnsubconscious mind.rnCall
