Never Give Up: You Are Not Your Thoughts

No matter who you are or where you are in the world,

No matter what obstacles you are going through,

I want to let you know that it is possible to overcome any obstacles the mind throws your way.

Sometimes the mind feels like a labyrinth and there is no escape.

But I still want you to know that it is possible,

That there is always a way out.

Observe your thoughts,

Do not identify.

Any negative voices,

The internal critic,

It is not true.

Learn to observe the mind as you would a play.

When you go to the theatre,

You observe from a distance.

The same with thoughts,

When they arise in the mind,

Observe them,

Acknowledge them but do not give them energy.

Where attention goes,

Energy flows.

Always remember,

You are not your thoughts.

Whatever happens,

You are not your thoughts.

The mind is a trickster,

Do not allow it to wrap around you.

You are greater than your thoughts.

You are the observer of your thoughts.

Thoughts come,

Thoughts go,

That's all they are.

The same way when you observe the fish tank and there are a lot of different fish of different colours passing by.

When you fixate on a certain colour,

All of your energy goes towards it.

The same thing with thoughts,

No matter what the thought is,

Observe it.

Observe it as if you were observing a flower,

You are observing the sky,

Clouds,

Observing the smile of a loved one.

No matter what you do,

Remember,

You are not your thoughts.

I'm sending you love wherever you find yourself.

And if today the mind is racing,

Just move slowly,

Step by step.

And do not allow the mind to take away the attention that you want to give the things you love,

Be it painting,

Writing,

If you want to give attention to your children,

To the people around you,

To hobbies,

To yoga,

To breathing,

No matter what it is.

Reclaim your power today by not identifying with thoughts.

Thoughts is the biggest obstacle because we identify with it,

We believe ourselves to be what the mind throws our way,

But it is not true,

We are much more than that.

And I hope this reaches you at the time you need it most.

Take care and keep on moving forward because it is possible,

It is possible.

Love,

Light and have a beautiful day.
