It's easier than you might think,...
I just want to present a simple concept here that has the power to end your suffering. The endless stream of thoughts that play over and over and over in your mind,... they are only endless and torturous because you do not yet realize that you have the power to stop them.

Retrain your brain
I have been learning about a very cool concept called cognitive restructuring. It was explained to me like this, our brains can receive over 2 million messages at a time. So, an event happens, the brain does it's job of receiving information regarding the event and all the other stimuli going on around the event, then the brain developes an interpretation through the utilization of a lens or a filter.
The brain uses this lens or filter to help quickly asses the situation and determine what the appropriate response would be. However, the lens contains a couple of key components that affect the interpretation, one being our past experiences and the other is our beliefs.
As we all know, past experiences can very strongly affect how we expect certain situations to play out, which lead us to create a belief. Such as, in the past it was my belief that if I wanted something different than my wife, it would create a conflict. Which I've discovered, really is not all that bad in reality. So, we want different things. So what? We make compromises.
This realization was brought to me through the utilization of cognitive restructuring. As I said, "in the past it was my belief", however I realized through several uncomfortable conversations my perception was not wrong, wanting different things did create conflict, but it wasn't something that we haven't been able to talk about and work through. These conversations have lead to clarification and increased levels of happiness and mutual respect.
Many people don't realize this, but when you use your brain to anticipate "what may happen", you are actually sending a message out into the universe and calling on the energy of the ultimate creative source to deliver what you are imagining. The concept is called the Law of Attraction. What you think about, you bring about and it works weither you believe it or not.
Awareness is the tool I am using to create a helpful blog. I am hopeful your new or reminded awareness is of some use to you today and as you move forward through your day.
