Thoughts

I didn't exactly have anything new to post up here so here I am talking about 'thinking' and 'thoughts'. The average person (not a person with depression) experiences and processes an average of 60,000 automatic thoughts a day. Automatic thoughts meaning those thoughts that come effortlessly and go by before you know it like, 'the furry is barking' or 'why is this guy driving so slow' We don't realize these thoughts as 'thoughts' like almost all thoughts including positive ones like, 'he's playing good music'. They just come and go like air.. 

Out of the 60,000 thoughts, roughly 45,000 are said to be leaning towards negative thoughts. Approximately upward of 75-80% in percentage. Even 'can't this old man move any faster' is a negative thought. You're feeling annoyance towards the poor old man who doesn't really have a choice to walk any faster than he already is. (Unless he's wearing motor powered shoes with wheels in the soles of it) Maybe thats why some of us feel so unhappy all or most of the time. Our minds are over crowded with negative thoughts and we're always complaining or dissing about something or someone in our tiny little brains. YES you heard me right, I said TINY. Big head? Probably. Big brain? Hell no.

To anyone out there who thinks their brain is as good as the new A5 processor Apple launched, its nothing compared to what He can see or what He has in mind for us. ANYWAY. Its not possible to monitor all  the 60,000 thoughts you have in a day. But you can be sure that when you're feeling some kind of resentment, or anger or frustration towards something, you're thoughts are wandering off in the undesired direction so give it a tug back towards you. Forgive the old man who's walking slowing in front of you. Let the guy in front of you drive the way he is maybe he's driving through the pain of a broken leg towards the hospital. Don't honk him unless he's doing something mightly wrong on the road.. I'm not saying you have to be like this ; 

But I think a leeeeeetle consciousness about what you're thinking and being a little more understanding towards the situation might make your day not so stressful or dull or depressing. There was this person who told me this story about a girl spilling her cereal on her dad in the morning and the different situations that arise from there on. Its very true. The response from the person would be 'OF COURSE ITS BLOODY TRUE!!!' anyway. yes its true, how we respond to certain things can make a whole lot of difference to up coming events or mold how we're going to respond to other things that may come up in our day. So, once again, loosen up, drop those heavy bags of stress lighten yourself and live life. Get out of the spiral of bad thoughts you have every single day of your life. I'm going to use this again just because I can and the occasion seems to fit, 

Get out of the depths of miserable thoughts! De Profundis.
