If I Could Change Your Mind
Tuesday, September 30, 2014 @ 11:39 PM
Because I'm listening to that song right this instance and this explains my title of the post. Right music makes me want to reflect on life and do up a blog post. Hahaha, well I'll cut the crap and get straight to it. I don't usually reflect upon any thought catalog or blogpost I just chance upon on facebook. (yes weirdly this is where all these post are reaching out to me.. on my facebook! But I gladly thank all those who kept the post floating around the platform by sharing it and I get to read them all) So back to my point, I don't usually start reflecting myself until I found a really relatable one or it just suddenly 'wow' me with it's content. Something that I may want to start asking myself about. Source: http://www.marcandangel.com/2014/08/24/10-toxic-habits-that-drain-your-energy/ "Bear with me for a moment. You know when you’re driving to an unfamiliar place, blasting the radio while simultaneously watching your GPS spit out directions? Then you suddenly get to that one part of the route that’s ridiculously confusing, so you lower the volume even though it has no direct impact on the way you read the directions?
That is your life. The radio noise you need to cut out to concentrate? That is the needless, energy-sucking noise in your head.
Turning down the radio in the car re-energizes your mind and offers you clarity when you need it most. You don’t really think about how or why this makes such a huge difference, you just know that it does.
Now it’s time to apply this same principle to all the other noise in your life, starting with the noise in your head."I really like how the author described life and the white noises we're always getting distracted or pull back from achieving something big. We need to mute the white noise and by doing so, we need to stop doing all these which I think is relatively true and I admit that I have committed most of these.. 1. Pretending like everything is OK when it isn’t. 2. Letting pain from the past devastate the present. 3. Believing that your best days are either in front of you or behind you. 4. Trying to hold on to who you were before one of life’s storms. 5. Resisting change and growth. 6. Worrying and worrying and worrying and never taking action. 7. Sacrificing all of your Self for everyone else. 8. Taking everything personally. 9. Letting negative thoughts get the best of you. 10. Refusing to let go a little and open up to uncertainty. You're highly encouraged to click the link to read in depth details of each and every point. But I will just talk about this one point that I'm absolute guilty of every single time. That'll be 6. Worry, worry, worry and never take action. I am so so so guilty of this. I am one person that worries about everything BUT I don't do something to stop all my worries. I am worrying about my future, but I am not take any step to start researching or really sit down and think hard enough what do I really want. This brings me to what my friend had told me maybe 1 month ago. If I were to just sit there and hope that everything is going to work out just like that, I'll be the one suffering from all the questions I am constantly questioning myself. I should just find a closure, make the move and take care of my worries THEN I can stop thinking about things like 'what if I have done this.. would things change?' Yet again, where do I find that freaking motivation or courage to make the next move. Because fear is pulling me back. So maybe it's time for me to startttttttttttttttttt to learn how to mute all the white noises in my life. I hope soon. |
