Hey there, what are you thinking? You’re busy up there in your head, aren’t you? I know. Lost in your thoughts. But don’t forget, you have a body and surroundings to be aware of.

Forget about those thoughts. They won’t get enough of you. The more you give your attention to them, the more they are bothering you. Instead of floating with your thoughts why not be more grounded in your body, in your being. You’ll have a bigger and better picture of your past and future.

Do you ever feel tired of being stuck in negative thoughts, whether it’s about your past or your future, that you miss opportunities in your present moment? I do. Although I am a believer of positive thinking, negative thoughts from my past experiences keep on coming back and bugging me.

Whether I am sitting at my desk doing my work, or taking a shower, cooking, or watching a television, these uninvited thoughts come and go without warnings. They interrupt whatever I am doing, and as a result, I lose track of what I’m doing or listening or watching. It’s like suddenly I’m out of this world, mentally.

Do you have a goal that you are excited about, which you have been dreaming of, and so passionate about? Maybe you want to turn your hobby into a career, or starting a new business of your own. Something that you have been longing to do and finally got the courage to jump in. You see the opportunity right in front of you, and you have just begun your new journey. But then, something happens. Somebody responded negatively to your intention. And you begin to see obstacles everywhere. You begin to doubt your capabilities. “Am I good enough for this mission?” And slowly you lose your focus and motivation. But no! You know you are not a quitter. Sometimes life gets tough. What should you do to pull yourself together?

First of all, know that you have the power to decide what you want to focus in your life. Your families, friends, and the naysayers can do and say whatever they want, out of love, concern, or envy. But they are not the ones who navigate your life unless you allow them to do so. You are in the driver seat. So make up your mind and be determined. Remember you are responsible for your own life. Once you decide, be committed.
