You are not your thoughts
Have you ever completely believed a thought and then realized later it wasn't even true?
I used to walk into certain rooms and just not feel comfortable.
There was no specific reason. I just had this feeling of being an outsider, like everyone else got the memo and I didn't. The way people were dressed or the way they talked, the restaurants they picked without even looking at the prices.
A thought would show up: "you don’t belong here." And I believed it. Every time.
But here's the thing. Your thoughts are not facts. They're not the truth. Most of the time they're not even yours. They're old programming, inherited beliefs and your mind doing what it's always done. Trying to protect you from the unknown.
You are the one noticing the thought. That's the part worth getting curious about.
This week I want to share a practice that has genuinely helped me create some distance from my thoughts so they stop running the show.
The Hermetic Principles says that your mind is a tool, not who you are.
The Principle of Mentalism tells us that everything begins in the mind but that also means the mind is something you use, not something you are. When a thought keeps looping, try asking yourself: "If this were a radio signal, what station am I tuned to right now?"
Then see if you can reach for something just a little higher. Not fake positivity and gaslighting yourself into feeling something you’re not feeling yet but just a small and honest shift. Use this method every time a thought comes up and pay attention to the internal shifts you will start to experience.
This week's reflection:
What's one thought you've been treating like a fact? What might shift if you apply the recommendation above?
Share in the comments! I genuinely love reading what comes up for you.
Much love, Neda
