Many times our minds are making decisions on outdated perceptions and assumptions. We need new information to see ourselves and our world in new ways. Our minds are designed to see all possibilities, to weigh all sides and give data. However, most of us use our mind as a tool that produces ideas, which we believe are facts and then we wield these facts as truth without any do diligence of further inquiry.
Facts are not truth, because facts are disproven as new information becomes available. The question becomes when is the last time you made an inquiry to what your mind believes and perceives. When you catch yourself reliving a story in your head, or replaying an experience over and over, it is time to try a new approach. Become your own detective.
Pause, be still and go inside.
Try asking yourself some new questions:
Is this true?
What am i assuming?
Where is the flaw in my logic?
Where am I believing something without examining it?
Where am I clinging to certainty because it feels safer than the unknown?
Where am I doubting myself instead of shifting my perception?
