Be your own Junk thoughts police
I had a long week with my job this past week. On Friday, I was so glad the week was over. I said to myself, ‘Now, I need to relax and focus on my important things and thoughts.’ The strangest thing is that the thoughts and memory of what happened this last week at my job keep coming back to me. Those other thoughts keep popping up. Once I thought about this person, I started to think about my job. How should I approach this task? How should I work with this person? I found myself dwelling on old thoughts and keep thinking and thinking about it; even though I didn’t necessary ranked them as high priorities in my head.
I like to call this kind of thoughts - the junk food of thoughts. We all have tons of random thoughts. They are all around us. Easy to pick up. Easy to eat. Just like junk food you have around the house. I am not a big fan of them. But occasionally, you see them, you talk to your friend, you start putting those junk food in your mouth. You know that junk food is not particular good for you. But you don’t usually give them too many thoughts. You would just keep eating them. You don’t do it on purpose. But after an hour or so, you became full. You slowly and mindlessly let the junk food occupy your stomach. And guess what? When you feel full. You will stop eating and there is no room for the real food.
When I was little, my mom would to scold at me ‘Stop eating junk food before dinner!’ She was like the junk food police. I would get scared of her scolding and stop eating whatever I was able to put in my mouth. Now I am a grown up. There is no junk food police anymore. I would eat whatever I want. What ever I want to think.
Random thought is like funk food. If you keep having junk thought, your brain would be full and you will not have time for real thoughts. You are full. Think important thoughts. What do you want? If you want to support your parents, think about the how? If you want to get a bigger job, think about what you have that make people want to hire you? If you want to become a millionaire, think about some million dollar ideas.
Be your own junk thought police. Have real thoughts and eat real food. Think about what you really want and think about those real thoughts now.
Have fun!
Action: Just spend 15 minutes and think about what is the one thing you want the most right now. Think about how you can get them.
