How To Create Happy Thoughts
Pause for a moment. What were you thinking about a moment ago? How did that thought make you feel?
It is very important that we realize the relationship between our thoughts and the way we feel. Did you know that we are constantly thinking? Take breathing for example. Unless we feel that we are running out of breath, we simply forget that we breathe automatically.
Thinking works the same way. Since we are always doing it, it is easy to forget that it is happening. To think is to create. Everything starts in the mind. What precedes the feeling of anger? Angry thoughts precede anger. Have you tried getting angry without having angry thoughts first? Try feeling sad without sad thoughts. It is impossible!
In order to experience a feeling, we must first have the thought that induces that feeling. Happiness cannot exist alone. To find the key to happiness, It is the result of positive thinking. This simple awareness is the first step in putting us back on the path towards happiness.
We should never underestimate the power of a simple thought. It may seem so innocent and fleeting; yet, it has energy that can cause great impact on our mind, body, and emotions.
Let us think of a lemon. Imagine cutting it in half and smelling it. Now, imagine squeezing the juice from the lemon into your mouth and feel those pulp bits bursting inside your mouth. Most of us will surely feel our salivary glands responding to the thought of lemon.
Indeed, what we are thinking can greatly influence our emotions. Think of someone you love. What do you feel? Now think of someone you hate. What do you feel? We do not have to change our emotions consciously – just change our thoughts and our emotions will immediately follow.
Notice that when we focus our minds on positive things, we feel better, whereas when our thoughts are focused on the negative, we feel bad. Positive thoughts yield positive results. These thoughts make us more loving and caring, resulting to good health, wealth, and happiness. On the other hand, negative thoughts produce negative results. These types of thoughts result to indifference, disease, fear and misery, etc. In other words, our thoughts create our reality.
So be aware of your thoughts – that is the way to happiness. The next time you feeling a little low, pause and consider what you were thinking to trigger that feeling and change it accordingly. It’s not going to happen immediately but with practice, we can control the direction our thoughts take.
Wouldn’t it be great if we can have good thoughts throughout the day?
