that nagging thought

Nagging Thought

You know what I’m talking about…don’t you?

That one annoying thought that keeps bugging you all through the day, and while it may seem to go quiet for a brief moment when you are distracted by something else, it only comes back so much stronger at night….

Just when you thought you could relax and get some sleep!

And then we start another day all over trying to ignore that nagging thought,

only to get worn down, tired and perhaps a little grumpy.

My question is, just how healthy is it… really, to go on ignoring that thought?

Our thoughts, especially the nagging ones, are there for a purpose.

It could be your intuition, a prompting that will serve you or someone else,

or a reminder to settle an issue before it gets bigger than you can handle.

The stress comes, not so much from the thought itself, but the

meaning or label we give it.

What I would suggest, is to get into a quiet place if you

can and have some paper and pen ready

– then ask yourself:

What is it about this thought that is so important as to persist?

What is its purpose?

Is it going to help anyone by acting on the thought, or is it a negative thought coming from old programming which is not helpful to getting on with life?

What changes can be made? If it is an inner prompting, will it go away when acted on?You may be surprised to find that just in this simple activity of writing down everything about the nagging thought, it goes away by itself or you can simply be at peace with it.

Just know that your mind is an amazing gift to you, and is there only to serve you.

Namaste!
