Sometimes we have to ask ourselves, “what am I thinking?” You hear the expression all the time, “what was he thinking?”
It is too often that we let our thoughts “run a muck”. Something maybe happened at work, the mind replays it all day long disrupting even your evening when you are far away from the problem. Maybe it’s that someone is angry at you and said a nasty word to you and the mind works you “over the coals” about what you did or did not do. You wonder why you just can not seem to be happy. So much of our time is spent vacillating between what happened in the past or worrying about what is going to happen in the future.  I advise people that I counsel, to let go of the pain of the past-(first grieve the losses) then make a decision to let it go! What is the sense in worrying about something that you have no control over? You are not in control of other people the only thing you do have control over is what you choose to think about. Then consequently, what you choose to do given what you are thinking…or not thinking. Tell your mind “no, I choose not to think about that” ..and start to find some more positive thoughts to rehearse in your mind. It takes some practice…to have better thoughts about the things that happen to us… over which we sometimes have little or no control.

I just got back from a visit to the Catskills. The mountains are in technicolor! I did find refreshing there. I stayed at the Thompson house, off my room was a slate porch which looked over a view of the golf course. The hills rolled endlessly.These peaceful greens went as far as the eye could see. There in the distance, the greens tucked into the mountains. The brilliant colors were kissed by fog that morning, nothing could rob the wonder of this peaceful scene. I was trying to read, but the peace of this place kept calling to me to take in all of the refreshing that was there for me just sitting and looking. Do not pass up your moment to find peace when it comes your way!

I want to make a point that was not mentioned in the promo. Though I do often speak about it when educating, approximately 5% of the population of people who are abused are male, the reason I often refer to women as the victims is that 95% of those victims who are abused are female. Of course, this is knowing also that not all abuse gets reported! Statistics change all the time.Thanks for the feedback!!! This message is true for everyone!
