You pay attention because it feels necessary, but itâs not. Why isnât it necessary? đŤĽWhen you feel uncomfortable your thoughts are not helpful. đŤĽAnxious thinking is distorted thinking. Itâs not clear thinking. đWhen our feelings are most compulsive, our thoughts are least useful. Most misleading. Then it gets less tempting. đIf you know that your thoughts are going to be misleading for you, itâs much less temping to listen to them. â¨Our feelings tell us about the clarity of our thinking and if we feel a little bit anxious, our thinking is a little bit distorted. If we feel really anxious, our thinking is going to be really distorted. â¨The feeling will tell you the future of the thought. If you have a bad feeling, the future of that feeling is not going to be good for you. The future of that thought is going to have a negative impact on you. đŚď¸Uncomfortable feelings are the feelings of disturbed, distorted thought. The distortion of the thought creates and uncomfortable feeling. It also negatively impacts your frame of reference, your perception, the way you see things, the way youâre inclined to react to them. đŚď¸If we know our thinking isnât clear and true, we can know we donât have to pay attention to it. đŚď¸Itâs not a problem to have anxious, distorted thinking because itâs temporary and changes all on its own. đ¨The nature of thought is that itâs transient. Itâs always coming and going. âď¸Itâs not a problem to feel anxious if we can know that our thinking isnât going to be helpful then. âď¸Try it and see how you feel when you donât take your anxious thoughts as true. When you can just let it be there. #anxietyrelief #anxiousthoughts #anxietyawareness
