Shopping trolley of thoughts

Inspiration for this blog came from an empty fridge.  A shopping trip impending, it occurred to me that careful choices are made about what goes in our shopping trolley.  We don't think, 'Urgh, liver! I'll have some of that!' or 'Wheat makes me ill, so let's get a loaf of bread!' 

So why do we allow this to happen with our thoughts?  We sometimes choose to feed on what we don't like or what makes us feel bad.  But when you chew on that, is it actually sensical to make ourselves feel bad?  Most of the time, dismal thinking is due to allowing your ego mind to ramble aimlessly.  You need to take control of your thoughts, to ensure they are empowering and encouraging, in order to evolve.

A friend suggested wearing a bracelet to remind you to think about the thoughts you think.  When you catch yourself thinking unhelpful thoughts, you focus on something that makes you feel good and switch the bracelet to the other wrist.  This way you condition yourself to think more nourishing thoughts and banish those blues.

So, throw the doomy, gloomy thoughts into the bin, where they can be recycled into something better and start to practise putting delicious fruity, vegetably thoughts of wholesome goodness into your trolley and see how much lovelier your life can become!

Happy shopping!
