So I’m out taking a evening walk and my negative self talk says:
“What a loser. No one could love you. Here you are out here alone again. You’re so miserable doing all this by yourself. You’ll always be alone. You’re fat. You’re old. You’re gross. You’re ugly. Give up.”
I was smiling while watching my mind do all this and decided to blog it. Weird what the mind says sometimes. Glad I know it’s not me. I just laughed at my mind and went on with my walk.
Mindfulness isn’t something you do. It is something you are.

You’re none of those things. Not alone either, just a different kind of together.

Thank you.
That was just my mind. I know I am not my mind and I don’t let its negative comments bother me. I tell it to go on to something else. I don’t have time for that.

I don’t know about being all….
I do know what a mind will say
When it not being attended to

It does require some guidance or it can run off.

I’m glad you knew it isn’t you! Some of that can be changed if you want to — the rest, well ~ ~ As to alone again, you’re doing what you really wanted to do — maybe it’s time to go farther afield and do some real exploring to keep that silly mind busy!

Going further afield is a great idea.

I completely understand that entire conversation your mind had…I have had that same one. Sending you love and hugs….

I’ve practiced mindfulness and meditated for many year. That helps me realize that thoughts are transient unless I latch on to them. If let them pass, or purposefully think of something else, the mind moves on. It’s a restless organ. I’m not my mind.

I have done the same….amazing what happens when we learn to change our thoughts….Hmm

It’s not easy and I’m not always good at it. But when it works, it’s great. lol
Jun 27, 2016 @ 10:11:23
I agree. It does take practice…

I am just glad you were mindful enough to know the difference. I sometimes feel like that, and go along with it. I feel so down, useless, stupid… the works.
Jun 27, 2016 @ 18:38:21
Sometimes it wins. But not as much as it once did. I’m seeing I am not my mind.

Hey, Ralph’s mind: Sheddap! I’ve been there, and usually a good sleep and/or a change of pace will quiet the old chatterbox down.

It just needs a new direction. 😃
